Decision Maker

What separates a peaceful mind from a struggling one? It is rarely circumstances, but rather the attitudes, judgments, and perceptions we practice. In this week's teaching, Michael and Greg explore decision-making through psychological, emotional, and spiritual lenses, examining the difference between choices driven by old, less-than-healthy strategies for getting our needs met and choices rooted in the principles and practices of recovery. Together with participants, they sit with some honest questions: Do we have any real capacity to influence the attitude we carry into the day? Why do some people live in an abiding state of gratitude while others remain stuck in cycles of depression, anxiety, and frustration? The answer they explore is both simple and demanding; it comes down to the practices we commit to, and the place within the mind from which our decisions are made. This episode is an invitation to consider the choices in front of you today, and to ask: what would it look like to engage this day differently than the choices that have led to greater difficulty?
