Have you tried flipping coins?
Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you are doing great wherever you are! Let’s breathe and smile.

Let’s talk about Flipping Coins!

I remember somebody told me a while ago, don’t just live by chance. Life is not about throwing a coin or a lottery ticket. Make your choices wisely.

Yes, I agree with that. However, today I will suggest we throw a coin. Shall we?

You can use a coin in case you need to make a very important decision, and you have two seemingly equal options to select from. This is where coin comes into play.

Let’s say, heads means option “A”, and tails – option “B”. You throw a coin and get option “A”. Now, listen carefully, this is the Key! Let’s say, the moment you get option “A” you also hear an internal scream: “Oh, No, not that!!” What it means, your subconsciousness is telling you that this was not your choice. Then you change to option “B” and don’t look back. And if option “A” sound totally fine to you, then go with it.

The mechanism of this technique is not the coin itself, really. But our mind has this unique ability to make much quicker decisions when we are facing the fast approaching deadline. And in case with a coin that deadline is our commitment to make a decision. The only thing the coin does it draws the decision out of our subconscious mind. It just makes it more obvious to us.

Does it make sense?

Send me a message, let me know if you’ve ever used something similar in your life.

Now let’s breathe and smile. Thanks for stopping by. I will talk to you next time.

PEACE!
Jin
