[...] W. Schumann I’ve been thinking a lot about Victoria Brouhard’s recent blog post on “no-brainer” decisions. It’s a clever idea. When you’re trying to decide about accepting something like a job [...]

Victoria,

Another insightful share.

The no-brainer scenario is another form of just being-and going with how we truly feel within the moment.

I find this is who we truly are in our lifes, when we go with the flow and how we feel.

When we do this, regarding the pro’s or con’s, everything usually flows as we are not in a state of worry over the expected unexpected.

I think we know when something is not quite right, as we have that intuitive ability to see things.

The fruit is in the picking, our choice. :)

Keep Shining!

[...] The aforementioned “Hell, yeah!” strategy of Derek Sivers and the corollary “No-Brainer Scenario” of Victoria Brouhard are two tools I’m playing with right now. Again, other strategies [...]

Victoria! “Compassionate scientist” is my new absolute favorite phrase. Looking for what works, and being honest about what that means, but not being mechanical or cold-hearted about it. Bringing compassion into the “let’s look at this logically” mindset (that I try oh-so-hard to maintain) is so so so perfect. Thank you for this post. Count me in as a subscriber.

Ah yes, I do love it too. Just reading it, even without a specific scenario in mind, just imparts this feeling of ‘openness’. and breathing room. And with openness comes creativity and other options.

Thank you!

This is such a wonderful way to think about decisions, thank you. I love the idea of creating a contrast so that you can see if you really want it and what it would take to have to say “yes.” Brillant! Thank you.

This would be helpful in the sense that if I can’t come up with a scenario to turn something into a no-brainer, then it probably was a bad idea in the first place.

Love it!

I like this. My system — that I learned from a Native American woman — is, if it’s not an Absolute Yes, it’s a No. Sometimes there’s disappointment of letting go of something that’s 97% Yes, but it sure brings clarity and clears the deck for 100% Yes-s.

But I like the way your process makes room for saying, um, what would make this an Absolute Yes is this. Which, to my mind, is like sending a personal request to the universe. Or one of Havi’s personal ads.
