#1 Problem In Decision Making

EP 11 - #1 Problem In Decision Making (And How To Avoid It!)

Mar 13, 2025

Hello Shiny Minds,

Decision-making is one of the most critical skills in life.

Whether it’s a personal or professional choice, the decisions you make shape your reality.

Yet, many of us unknowingly face hidden mental blocks that interfere with our ability to make clear and confident decisions.

At Neuro-Shine Technology™, we believe in empowering minds to lead authentically and align with their truth.

That’s why today, I’m uncovering the 5 mental blocks that could be holding you back and sharing 5 powerful strategies to overcome them.

Let’s get started! ๐ŸŒŸ


  •  Comparisons ๐Ÿค” 

    “Am I doing as well as others?”
    Comparing yourself to others is a decision-making trap. It creates doubt and disconnects you from your unique journey. Remember, your path is yours alone, and what works for someone else might not work for you.

 

  • Deletions ๐Ÿ”


    “I didn’t even realize that was an option!”
    Your brain filters out information to avoid overwhelm, but sometimes it deletes valuable details or opportunities. This block keeps you from seeing the full range of possibilities.

 

  • Distortions ๐Ÿ˜จ

     
    “This is going to be a disaster!”
    Distortions twist reality. Whether it’s assuming the worst or overthinking outcomes, these mental twists can lead to irrational decisions that don’t align with your goals.

 

  • Generalizations ๐ŸŒ€

     
    “This always happens to me!”
    Generalizations simplify the world but often limit your perspective. If you failed once, it doesn’t mean you’ll fail again. Breaking free from this block allows you to see each situation as unique.

 

  • Assumptions ๐Ÿคท‍โ™€๏ธ

     
    “I already know how this will turn out.”
    Assumptions feel like facts, but they’re often based on incomplete information. They close doors before you’ve even explored what’s possible.

 


Now that you’re aware of the blocks, let’s talk about solutions! These 5 decision-making strategies, rooted in Neuro-Shine Technology™, will help you make empowered and aligned choices.

 

  • NST Full Body YES! Moments ๐ŸŒˆ

     
    Your body is your compass. When faced with a decision, ask yourself: Does this feel like a full-body YES? If it feels light, exciting, and aligned, it’s likely the right choice. If it feels heavy, it might be time to reconsider.

 

  • NST Clarifying Powerful Questions โœจ

     
    Questions are the ultimate clarity tool. Here are a few to guide your decision-making:

    • What do I truly want?
    • What’s the best possible outcome?
    • What’s stopping me from moving forward?
      These questions will help you uncover hidden fears and motivations.

 

  • NLP Chunking Down Method ๐Ÿงฉ

     
    Big decisions can feel overwhelming. Break them into smaller, manageable steps. This method, called “chunking down” in NLP, simplifies complex choices and reduces anxiety.

 

  • NST Assumption Busting Technique (Critical Thinking) ๐Ÿ’ก

     
    Assumptions can be sneaky. Challenge them by asking:

    • Is this really true?
    • What evidence do I have?
    • What other possibilities exist?
      This technique opens your mind to new perspectives and better options.

 

  • Heart Science: Drop to Your Heart Moments โค๏ธ

     
    Did you know your heart sends more information to your brain than the other way around? Your heart holds wisdom. To access it, slow down, take a deep breath, and drop into your heart. Ask yourself: What feels right in my heart? This alignment between mind and heart leads to powerful, authentic decisions.
