Only You Know What’s Right for You – TPS558

In this episode, I cover a number of topics including why exercise is just as good as medications for depression, why it’s important to get to know yourself, and understanding how you make the decisions that determine your life outcomes.

Highlights

• What’s true for me might not be true for you.
• I talk about an article I saw that stated that exercise is more effective than counseling or medication for depression.
• How you make decisions and what you believe is true is true for you. These are different for every person.
• You may be using a high level of emotion to make your decisions when someone else may not.
• Critical thinking skills are important, and we aren’t teaching people how to develop those skills. How to examine what you believe to be true.
• We are living in a time when truth is sometimes buried in belief and many of our actions are based on what we believe to be true.
• Your brain is always trying to protect you and keep you alive but it may be leading you to make ineffective decisions.
• What do you believe that may not be serving you in the best possible way?
• Decide what you want to believe, then test the hypothesis. That’s the scientific method.
• Sometimes, I discover that what I want to believe is true isn’t, and I have to be willing to look for other answers.
• Test things out for yourself. Come to your own conclusions.
• I talk about using your intuition to find out what you need.
• Get to know yourself and your needs.
• Don’t believe everything you hear. Question authority. Question your own beliefs.
• You could never know what another person is thinking, so don’t assume that you do.
• When you are willing to look at possibilities, then you will be in the right place.
• We learn by trying things. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
• There is no one who has your answers. Only you do.
• Explore the emotions behind your decisions because those decisions are defining your life.
• Don’t be afraid to be who you really are. You are unique – celebrate your uniqueness.
