Here are the A Course In Miracles 'Rules for Decision' with the commentary stripped out:
Basic procedure
Think about the kind of day you want, and tell yourself there is a way in which this very day can happen just like that. Then try again to have the day you want.
The outlook starts with this:
Today I will make no decisions by myself.
Throughout the day, at any time you think of it and have a quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself again the kind of day you want; the feelings you would have, the things you want to happen to you, and the things you would experience, and say:
If I make no decisions by myself, this is the day that will be given me.
Restorative if disturbed or unwilling to ask God for direction
Remember once again the day you want, and recognize that something has occurred that is not part of it. Then realize that you have asked a question by yourself, and must have set an answer in your terms. Then say:
I have no question. I forgot what to decide.
Try to observe this rule without delay, despite your opposition.
Extreme restorative if attached to a perception, attitude, or course of action
You can begin to change your mind with this:
At least I can decide I do not like what I feel now.
And so I hope I have been wrong.
I want another way to look at this.
Perhaps there is another way to look at this.
What can I lose by asking?
