Start Each Day with Mental Clarity

A strong decision-making process begins with a clear and focused mind. Practice catching Saboteur thoughts as they arise. Then, explore your Sage emotions like curiosity, gratitude, or empathy. By setting a positive mental tone for the day, you’ll approach decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

Pause Before Reacting

When faced with a decision, especially under stress, give yourself a moment to pause. Engage in PQ reps— a practice of focusing on physical sensations, like the feeling of rubbing two fingertips together — to calm your mind. This helps you avoid reactive decisions and create space for thoughtful reflection.

Reframe Challenges as Opportunities

Saboteurs often amplify fear and doubt in decision-making. Combat this by reframing challenges through your Sage perspective. For example, if you’re weighing a tough career move, shift your focus from potential risks to the growth and opportunities it may bring.

Trust Your Intuition

Your Sage brain is deeply connected to intuition. By building mental fitness, you can tap into this intuitive wisdom. Trusting your instincts and thoughtful evaluation can lead to more balanced and confident decisions.
