Your Health Decision Making Style is Behavioral!

You feel things strongly, whether positive or negative. That means your health decisions are made from the soul.

Being Behavioral

You rely heavily on information from others to guide your decisions, yet you have a tendency to make rash decisions in the moment.

Information on the internet is looked at with some reaction - good, bad, or skeptical. Little of the information you find is neutral, it's either leaning good or towards bad.

Because of that, you might overlook a possible viable intervention, or you might overestimate the potential positive outcomes of others.

You are open to exploring all kinds of ideas to help you be healthier.

Always full of energy and opinion, many people ask you for advice. But even if they don't, you're willing to offer it up anyway because you care deeply.

Here are a few things you can do to tap into your reading/writing superpowers:

  • Look at the smaller decisions instead of the bigger problem.

  • Be aware, some of your ideas to help your health problem may conflict.

  • Create a strong health philosophy before you have a health issue to refer to. This will keep you on track and lead you to where you want to go with your overall health in light of what you value most.

  • Double-check big health decisions with trusted directive, analytical, or conceptual decision-making friends and family. See the article Decision-Making Style: Wear It Well to learn about the other decision-making styles.

  • Take extra time and effort to look at the facts and to make sure what you're hearing or reading is really true.

  • Recognize that the feelings you have in the moment are just that - in the moment. Give it some time for your feelings to wane before making a decision.

“When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it. That’s when you can get more creative in solving problems.””
— Confucius

So, what do I do next?

Now that you have a better understanding of your own primary health decision-making style keep in mind that we all embody the other styles to some extent. It can be extraordinarily helpful to understand all the decision-making styles so that we can be aware of the downsides of each and use the best aspects of each style.

With a better understanding of the way we make our health decisions, we can improve our health, one decision at a time, by being more mindful of our tendencies.
