Episode 46: Ask Yourself... "Does It Bring Me Up or Down?"

Send us a text

During moments of decision, asking ourselves reflective questions is one strategy that can be used to promote clarity and improve decision-making.  In this episode, we discuss this strategy, of asking ourselves questions, related to a very specific question as follows, "Does this bring me up or down?"

This is a powerful question to ask ourselves, and the word "this" in the question, can refer to many things-  people, situations, habits, thoughts, or experiences, as we approach decision-making.  The question is direct and simple, and often prompts a quick response, which can be helpful in making decisions that align with your goals and the person you desire to be. 

While on our journeys to becoming our best selves, it's empowering to create an environment that supports us (or "brings us up") and asking this simple question in the right moments, can help you do just that.  The other added bonus to practicing this strategy, asking ourselves reflective questions as a part of decision-making, is that the pause allows our brain (specifically the prefrontal cortex) to become more engaged in the decision, which improves the probability that we'll make a smarter decision that's aligned with our goals.
