Like their “to-do” lists, many individuals have personal decision-making approaches.

We often weigh the advantages and disadvantages, seek guidance from specialists, and consult our partners or mothers.

Here are ten additional and unconventional methods to explore. Which ones might you use?

1. Flip a coin. Then, notice your first reaction. You’ll feel disappointed if it lands on the “wrong” choice.

2. Role-play. Let each person or thing represent a different aspect of the decision. What does each perspective have to say?

3. Meditate. When you quiet your mind, the answer may bubble up quickly.

4. Drawing or collage. Consider each option pictorially. Your most attractive option may become apparent.

5. Use a dartboard. Notice how you feel when the dart hits its mark like flipping a coin. 

6. Sleep on it. It is still one of the most effective ways to find clarity.

7. Dream incubation. Write out the issue before going to bed. When you awake, consider any dream to be an answer to your query—or the question behind the question.

8. Dance each option. Which feels better in your body? Which flows through you more fluidly?

9. Sing. Make up a song about the decision. You may be surprised by what comes out of your mouth.

10. Try tarot cards or the I Ching. Consider these mysticism and divination tools for determining how you feel and think.

My next in-person workshop, Yoga and Osteoporosis, is on Tuesday, October 29. Because the first warning indicator of osteoporosis is frequently a fracture, it is often called the “silent thief” since it steals bone mass without any signs to indicate that this is happening until a fracture occurs.

Fragility or low-trauma fractures can sometimes happen spontaneously or easily from simple activities such as reaching, bending, twisting, coughing, or sneezing. These fractures can also occur following a minor injury, such as a fall from a standing height or less. If this has happened to you, join us to learn how to practice yoga safely.

A few spots are available, and there’s still time to register.

Have you made a decision yet about joining us? If you’re undecided, try one of the innovative techniques mentioned above, or trust your tried-and-true method.

I hope to see you in person at the workshop!
