Your Health Decision Making Style is CONCEPTUAL!
You find creative solutions and out-of-the-box ideas to improve your health.
Being Conceptual
You don't let the standard approaches dictate what you do - you sleuth around and find solutions on your own. The more complicated the condition, the more creative you get.
You are an overcomer.
Medical approaches may work for what you're dealing with, but you're looking for more. You not only want to treat your issue, but you also want to completely heal from it.
Your family may think you're a little "out there" as you explore some often outlandish interventions, but in the end, you are healthier and land on your feet stronger than before.
Although you turn to articles, online sources, and textbooks for information, podcasts, and cutting-edge approaches are definitely within the realm of possibility for you to learn and try.
Your holistic friends offer their experience and although you listen, you take it all with a grain of salt. You're creative, but you're not gullible.
Here are a few things you can do to enhance your conceptual superpowers while being aware of the potential downsides to your approach.
Make sure you are doing your due diligence when trying new interventions. You may be throwing away money, wasting time, and putting yourself at some risk if you fall for some extraordinary approaches.
Make a list of criteria to follow when it comes to which approaches to try.
Recognize what's a fact, and what is a probability when it comes to a diagnosis or recommendation.
Don't overreact to a symptom or diagnosis.
Incorporate a mix of medical, complementary, and lifestyle approaches as a general rule. Don't rely too heavily on one or the other.
“Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”
So, what do I do next?
Now that you have a better understanding of your own primary health decision-making style keep in mind that we all embody the other styles to some extent. It can be extraordinarily helpful to understand all the decision-making styles so that we can be aware of the downsides of each and use the best aspects of each style.
With a better understanding of the way we make our health decisions, we can improve our health, one decision at a time, by being more mindful of our tendencies.
