Applying It Daily

You can use the scientific method for personal decisions. Want to know if meditation helps your sleep? Do not just "try it and see." Control the experiment: meditate for two weeks and track your sleep quality, then stop for two weeks and track again.

Apply it to beliefs too. "Social media makes me anxious." Hypothesis formed. Test: delete all apps for one week. Each evening, rate your anxiety from 1 to 10, then compare to the previous week. If your anxiety drops clearly, your hypothesis has support.
