We’ve recently been looking at [decision-making](https://www.gilespcroft.com/tag/decision-making/), and last week I introduced the notion that we have two distinct modes of thinking at our disposal, when faced with choices:

1. Processing mode 🤖
2. Free-flowing mode 🌊

…and in last week’s video (*‘*[When to use Processing Mode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSeyqGlXsGo&ref=gilespcroft.com)*’)* we looked at the first of those.

So in [this week’s short video clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQB6fDeYIlg&ref=gilespcroft.com), let’s look at the second!

There's a hidden benefit here, isn't there? Did you spot it? \[Answer below\*\]

The ****Decision-Making Video Masterclass** is a profoundly insightful 1½ hour deep dive, where we go beyond conventional ‘tips for smarter decisions’, to explore the mechanics of choice itself: How **do* we ‘decide for the best’? Best for whom? And how do we align ourselves with our innate, inner resources?

If you're stuck making a big decision, or really struggle with decisions in general, this one's for you.
