PRACTICE
Quiet the mental noise so you can hear the best decision available to you right now.
Ten quiet minutes can create enough space to hear what matters.
FOCUS
Your focus shapes the thoughts that influence your choices.
Better questions can help you reach a better decision.
Action and strategy matter, but your thinking shapes what you do with them.
STORY
The usual business answers were not helping because the challenge was not only about tactics.
Logic alone could not resolve what he was feeling.
He needed to listen beyond the next business move.
Sometimes you are not short of strategy. You are disconnected from what you know.
CHOICES
He could avoid the feelings and tolerate the situation.
He could quit everything and walk away.
He could ask someone for help.
Asking for help created a new path when the first two choices did not.
MODEL
The Head represents thinking and logic.
The Heart represents the emotions you feel.
The Gut integrates the Head and Heart to recognise the best available decision.
The answer became clearer when Marc stopped asking his Head to decide alone.
MENTOR
Marc received one-to-one support and learned this exercise during that work.
Of everything he learned, this is one practice he continued to use.
A useful practice earns its place by helping you return to it in real decisions.
CONTEXT
Marc is sharing a personal practice, and he is not presenting himself as an expert.
The practice does not mean that every decision you make will be correct.
The practice does not mean that you will have zero stress for the rest of your life.
The aim is to access the best decision available to you at that point in time.
ROUTINE
Set a 10-minute alarm.
Close your eyes.
Take deep breaths.
Ask one clear question.
Allow thoughts to come through.
Stay with the practice for the full 10 minutes, then write down what came through.
STEP
Set an alarm on your phone, computer, or tablet so you do not need to watch the clock.
STEP
The first job is to create enough quiet for the question to be heard.
QUESTION
“What is my intuition telling me?”
You do not need to force an answer or judge what appears.
PURPOSE
Competing thoughts can make the best answer harder to hear.
Quiet, breathing, and time allow useful input to come through more naturally.
Marc believes you often know the best answer for yourself, but noise gets in the way.
SETUP
Choose somewhere you can be alone when possible.
The opening question stays the same, but a useful follow-up can make the decision more specific.
UNCLEAR
Give the situation time and decide when you will review it again.
Identify the missing fact that would help you decide.
Choose the person who can help you see what you cannot yet see.
A useful answer can be to wait, collect information, or ask someone for help.
TRUST
Stay with the practice for the full 10 minutes.
Capture the thoughts only when the timer finishes.
Marc says the exercise becomes more effective as you trust yourself.
Self-trust means trusting that you can access the best decision available to you at that moment.
EXPERIENCE
Marc also says the practice influenced personal-life decisions that he did not expect to make.
These are Marc’s experiences, and they are not guaranteed outcomes.
The value of the practice is the decision it helps you make, not a promise of the same result.
OUTPUT
Choose the place, time, decision, and opening question.
Record what came through, what remains unclear, and what comes next.
Act, wait until a defined review point, gather one fact, or ask one person for help.
The practice becomes useful when you turn the clearest available input into one real next action.
