What Controls Your Decisions?

What Controls Your Decisions was just one of the themes covered by Tony Robbins, a key-note speakers at the National Achievers Congress which is being held at the ExCel Centre this weekend. Tony spoke for an incredible four hours. I’d never heard him speak before and he was inspiring.  How he maintained his energy levels for that long I’ll never know.  I was exhausted just being in the audience.

A key message from Tony’s presentation was that our state, along with our blueprint of life, governs everything we do.  It affects our decision-making in ways we could never imagine. Tony got us to do a load of exercises trying on different physiologies and the really interesting thing was that with over 7,000 people from a number of different countries in the audience we all immediately knew what physiology to adopt to be in a particular state.  For example, for the frightened child state we all make our posture small and crouched, we dropped our energy and lowered the pitch of our voice. We breathed shallowly and approached other people gingerly, from the side and not from the front.

The exercise reminded me of how well my horses can read my physiology.  They know my state often before I do. As master readers of body language they are acutely aware of what is happening in their environment and how things and people show up.  They need to be in order to survive.  So I’m writing this blog sitting in a field with my horses.  After such a motivating and inspiring weekend I’m in a great state and guess what my horses are all crowded around me.  My energy is great and they want to be with me.  Trust me this is not usual behaviour for them, typically they graze far away from me when I sit in the field with them.  Watching the sun set and listening to the birds tweet, whilst a deer bounds through the field I’m really happy.  Tony explained that we are happy when our life conditions and blueprint for life are aligned whilst depression occurs when we feel helpless to change the disconnect between our life conditions and blue print.

So my questions for you this week are what makes you really happy and how are you influencing your state so that you can make better decisions?
