This is gonna seem weird - you're forewarned - but here goes.

There used to be a hippie-dippie belief that holding, say, a food in your hand and then pressing down on that arm with the other arm would tell you what was good or bad for you. If your (holding) arm was weak, bad. Strong, good.
Of course, that's nonsense, BUT it may be a possible way to try to tap into unconscious beliefs (right or wrong beliefs.) If you're ambivalent, it's a tie-breaker. I don't do it often, but it's better than just standing there cogitating.
