Conscious Verses Unconscious
● Moment by moment our senses are bombarded with vast
amounts of data. We can only pay attention to a small fraction of
this sensory input consciously.
● But the unconscious regions of the mind take in and store huge
quantities of information coming in through the senses.
● A common metaphor illustrates this; Picture an iceberg in the
sea. You can see the top jutting out. That represents your
conscious mind. Underwater, out of sight, lays a much larger
chunk of ice - the unconscious.
Learning to Trust Our Intuition
● The information stored in our unconscious mind
is what helps us with intuitive decision making.
● We can learn to trust our intuitive abilities more
and therefore make better and quicker
decisions.
● This is a great skill to develop in the busy
modern world.
Good Decisions Vs. Bad Decisions
● Here's an interesting fact: Your mind has to
distinguish a Good Decision from a Bad
Decision.
● It does this by representing that decision
(Memory Picture) in a specific location in space,
usually in front of you to the left or right.
Decision Making Thought Patterns
● You can easily become aware of your own
decision making thought patterns by thinking
about a good decision you made; Maybe you
decided to buy a great gadget and you were
pleased you did!
● And then think about a bad decision you made,
nothing major, something such as deciding to
go to the movies and it turned out to be rubbish.
Notice the Differences
● Now what you want to do is alternate between
thinking about the good decision verses the bad
decision and notice how they are located in different
locations in space.
● One is probably more to the left or to the right? Is one
nearer or further away from you?
● This is very useful information. It’s the way your
unconscious mind codes your memories to instantly
distinguish a good decision from a bad decision.
What are Your Choices?
● With this knowledge we can now tap into this unconscious processing
mechanism, allowing us to make intuitive decisions in a snap.
● If you were to think about an upcoming decision you are going to have
to make, what options or choices come to mind?
● Think about each choice, one at a time, and notice where they are
located in space. The one that is nearest your Good Decision Location
is the best option to choose at this moment in time.
● So go ahead now and practice thinking about a few more upcoming
decisions you need to make, noticing the locations in space...
Fast Intuitive Decision Making
Technique
1. Notice where you locate in space a Good Decision verses
a Bad Decision you made. Is one more to the left or right?
Is one near or further away from you?
2. Now think about an upcoming decision you will have to
make. Think about the options or choices you have and
become aware of where those choices are located in
space.
3. The choice nearest to your Good Decision Location is the
best option to take at this moment in time.
Developing Good Decision Making
Habits
● Remember your unconscious mind knows a lot more than
your conscious ego mind does.
● Decision making techniques like the one above enables
you to tap into the power of your unconscious resources
resulting in quicker more intuitive decision making results.
● So by making a habit of noticing where your choices for
decisions are located in space, you will develop the habit
of being able to choose the best option, leading to more
consistent good decisions.
