0:00 This is Growing Uncomfortable, the podcast that explores techniques that will improve your life. Growing Uncomfortable with Stephanie Lee starts right now. Hello, this is Stephanie and this is Growing Uncomfortable. Hey. You know what I am growing uncomfortable every day in every way, and I hope you are too. Growing uncomfortable is taking a comfortable situation that you're not happy with and getting out of that comfortable situation by doing things by the actions that you take by getting uncomfortable. And that's the way to get what you want. And that is so cool and I want that for you. If you are a new listener here at Growing Uncomfortable, I want to thank you so much for tuning in and I hope that you enjoyed this episode. Well, now get cozy, get comfortable, get your favorite drink, and sit down on your favorite cozy chair and listen and enjoy this episode on decision, Well, the decision making process is, at its core, a reasoning process that we all have available to us any time we want. Did you know that it is one of our six great mental faculties, along with perception, the will, memory, imagination, and intuition, And I will talk about all those things in later episodes. We all use these mental faculties every day and most times, well we're

1:32 not even aware that we're using our mental faculties, but we need them. Our reasoning process is how we get to the decisions we make about all kinds of things, well everything. It is based on what is there in front of you, what has happened in your past, who you've met, who you've been, who you've been with everything. Allow yourself the time to go into your own space alone and talk it through by yourself about the reasons for the decision that you're about to make or the decision that you've made. How many times have you talked to a friend who has said, why did you make that decision? Well, the decision that you've made comes from the reasoning process. In any important matter, that's the way it comes through reasoning. Every important decision has come through the reasoning process. That's right. But how do you use your reasoning skills to decide those areas in your life, your job, your personal life, who you're dating, where you're going, are you going left or right? When you drive? All these things are so important and using your reasoning faculty that can change your decision will Your decisions are based on your values, your preferences, and your beliefs of what

3:04 decision or step will be next. We've all had these things happen to us. But how do you use your reasoning skills to decide those areas in your life? Every time you have a reason for doing something anything, and then make the decision to do it, well, hopefully it's a positive step forward. First of all, it will give you the right decision that you want to go on and take the actions that you need and think and grow rich. By Napoleon Hill, a book that I always mention and have with me all the time. He says this about decision Those that reach decisions promptly and definitely know what they want and generally get it. The leaders in every walk of life decide quickly and firmly. This is the major reason they are leaders. Let's think about Henry Ford, for example. He's a leader, and he made the decision to do certain things in his life firmly and quickly. And he had to the same way you do.

4:08 When you're at an intersection, should you go left or right? Well we'll talk about that in a little bit later. The world has the habit of making room for the man or woman whose words and actions show that he knows where he or she is going. And that's through reasoning it out. You know, for example, if you can reason through the why and what you want, then your decision is always made for you. The reasoning will be there, and in the end, your goal will be met because you've made the right decision. Well, let's give me as an example, since this is certainly a good example of something that's happened to me recently. Now, the decision that I have is I am going to do a video along with my podcast. Well, I think it will be cool. Okay, that's a statement, and I am going to do that.

5:05 But what's the reasoning behind that decision. Well, I want my listeners that would be you, to be able to relate to me, see me as their friend and trust me. I think having a nicely put together background and have a pleasant smile will represent a great image and you will get to know what I'm like, my expressions when I smile or when I'm upset, that kind of thing. And besides, people love to watch and listen whenever they can. And by the way, that is using two of your most important senses. Right, you're watching and you're listening, which makes it even better. The more senses that a person uses, the better it is. So the result of this decision to maybe put myself on video as well as do the podcast in audio is that I will perhaps get more followers, more of an audience, because people love to watch and listen to my show. This is your ultimate goal.

6:14 That follower or that audience that I don't normally have, will watch and may very well download or become a follower. That is a perfect example. So you get to the reasoning, you make the decision, and then the result will come, and that is really cool. Well how about this one. Suppose you are going to your favorite coffee shop but you reach an intersection. All the ways will get you to the coffee shop. Do you go left, right, or straight? They're all going to get you there. The decision you have made is to go right. You could have gone anyway, but the reason for the decision. It shaves off a little more time and it's a nicer view. Well it's prettier, but the result is really what comes. You get there five minutes earlier, where you chat with someone that's in line and offers you a job perhaps, and if you had taken a left or gone straight, it would be a few minutes later and you would not have met the person that you chatted with. Now, that is using your reasoning abilities, your decision from your reasoning, and the result that you want the action that you want. And that's so cool that it is getting your goal the reasoning and decision and the result is to be willing to see whatever your decision is to the end. Hopefully

7:44 it's a good decision, but if it's not, take the responsibility. PubMed dot com says here, reasoning in the real world supports decision making and is aimed at the achievement of goals, and isn't that the truth? And that is what we are aiming for? And in Concordia Saintpaul dot edu it says here identified the decision you need to make. The first step in making the right decision is recognizing the problem or the opportunity and deciding to address it. Determine why this decision will make a difference to your life. Gather the information and reasoning before the decision so that you can make a decision based on facts and data.

8:33 This requires making a value judgment, determining what information is relevant to the decision at hand, along with how you can get to it using a great deal of reasoning skills. Well, ask yourself what you need to know in order to make the right decision. It's so important. Then actively seek out anyone who needs to be involved or can maybe help you you. Maybe you don't need anyone's help, but guess what, that's part of your reasoning skills that will help you make that decision. So now it's time to evaluate those reasoning skills what made you come up with the decision. There will be times when the decision is complex and you aren't sure where the main issue lies.

9:21 Conduct your reasoning skills and speak with experts who experience the problem firsthand. If you can find someone like that, it will save you time in the long run. It's true every reason you give for your decision is really a roundabout way. As matter of fact, I would say, a big roundabout way of achieving your goal and your result. Remember when I always say everything has to do with everything, and it's so true. The reasoning process has to do with your decisions. Your decisions have to do with your results. Your results come from your actions that you take, and everything has to do with you. It's the consequences, reasons, decisions, results.

10:07 That's what I want for you, only the good things, good reasons, good decisions, and good results.
