How to Make Conscious Decisions

How to Make Big Decisions Consciously – Instead of on Auto-Pilot It is an insult to tell anyone living that they make their most important decisions non-consciously. Homo sapiens pride ourselves on behaviors using logic and reason, math and science, right? Neuroscientists until 2008 concluded our consciousness (reason, logic and thinking) was the basis for western civilization and its progress. Imagine an executive at Apple being told his conscious mind is almost an illusion, and all their success is the product of non-consciousrn(auto-pilot) decision-making. Ridiculous.

The Hero's Journey

Many of us fail to recognize the dormant hero that lies in each one of us. We are taught to believe that in order to be a hero we must perform some truly noble act or possess supe atural abilities. Only then, we feel, will our lives be validated and some higher duty fulfilled. The greatest heroes in our world from a historical perspective, however, have at first been the greatest thinkers. Their abilities had very little to do with their physical prowess and everything to do with their beliefs in their own capabilities.

Student Procrastination: Laziness or Anxiety?

Procrastination is a common problem for students in high school and college. Frustrated parents often believe their child’s procrastination comes from laziness or lack of motivation. But this is not always case. In many cases, procrastination is the result of test anxiety. One spring morning, a mother and daughter entered my office. The girl, Jenny, was beautiful, athletic, talented, and a highly intelligent sophomore in college. Her angry mother was upset about her daughter’s decreasing grades and academic performance.

Zen and the Art of Test Taking

"Every week when I go to school to take the test I feel like there's a gun at my head - a loaded gun pointed directly at my head."

The test she was referring to was the "Qualifier" - the extremely difficult exam which signals the completion of school and qualifies the student for the State Exam (the CSR) the last step in becoming a licensed court stenographer.
