🧪 Try This Exercise:

 

You’re trying to decide whether to join a new gym or try home workouts.

 

Ask ChatGPT:

“Can you help me compare the pros and cons of joining a gym vs. doing home workouts? I work full time and I’m trying to stay motivated.”

 

Then try:

• Add constraints: “I only have $50/month”

• Change the focus: “Which is better for stress relief?”

• Ask for support: “Can you help me make a simple schedule for either option?”

💬 Key Tip:

AI can’t make your choices, but it can help you see your thinking more clearly. Use it like a decision mirror — it reflects back what matters to you.

🚀 Why This Matters:

Most of our stress comes from not deciding. AI helps you get unstuck faster by offering structured thinking — like having a non-judgmental thought partner anytime you need.
