Feeling stuck? This one-day exercise shifts your perspective and sharpens decision-making. No fluff, just clarity.
Even the smallest shift in perspective can change the course of your life or work. It doesn’t need to be dramatic. Just intentional. And intention shapes direction.
This is the thinking behind a simple and effective tool often used in coaching: the one-day hunting game.
The concept is straightforward. You spend one day seeing your life through a single perspective. One shift. One lens. One day of clarity.
Why it works
A fresh perspective helps you:
- Spot overlooked opportunities in familiar situations
- Break out of repetitive or reactive thinking patterns
- Practice proactive decision-making, like checking directions before you move
Try This: The One-Day Perspective Game
Here’s how it works. Choose one perspective to focus on for an entire day. A good starting point is CHOICE.
Start the day by writing answers to these prompts. Use pen and paper—it matters.
- If I had full choice today and no limits, what would I choose to do?
- If I moved to a new place where no one knows me, how would I choose to live?
- What part of my life or work can I reshape today?
- What can I choose to stop, start, or adjust right now?
- Think of a current challenge. What does it mean today? What did it mean 10 years ago? What might it mean 10 years from now?
Let the answers shape your actions throughout the day.
Choice Builds Clarity
Psychology research links well-being to our sense of control. Practicing the lens of choice helps the brain sort chaos into structure. That gives you clarity. And clarity leads to better outcomes.
Put your boots on. You’ve got one day to see things differently.
