When I sat down to write this time, in the car, on the way to a yoga festival to present (yes, my husband is driving) I asked myself “What is it that I really want to share with the world?” “What is it that really wants to come through me?” and “What do I really need to share that I’ve been holding out on?”
There’s so many answers to these questions.
So then I’m left with another question: Which one of these things will I write about now?
And in considering that, what I’m going to write about it is how we come to our answers. How do we go about our decision making processes.
Before I continue I invite you to think about how you make decisions. Are there lists? Pros and cons considered? Are you weighing up the financial cost, the environmental impact? There’s so many things to consider right.
Do you drive yourself crazy trying to make decisions?
Do you get paralysis by choice?
I know I have in the past and this year I decided I’m rewriting that story and experience for myself (which has been working, more on that another time).
What if there was a way to find our answers without getting caught up in the quagmire of our internal arguments?
You know what comes next right?
There is!
I’m here to tell you you can make decisions without all that crappy arguing and back and forth crap that goes on in our heads by using our bodies internal knowing.
- The first step is to ‘calibrate’ to your experience of yes and no in the body. Do this by thinking about something obviously gross to you and notice how that feels in the body. Do you feel tight? Nauseas? Small and constricted maybe? You might need to be still for a moment so you can really pay attention to the sensations in the body.
- Now think about something that’s obviously good, pleasant, nice. How does this feel in the body? Do you feel expansive? Open? Light in your being? Again, get still and notice the sensations in the body.
- Use these sensations as your set point for yes and no. So when you can’t decide on something, let’s say, what type of restaurant you’re going to go to, think about your choices and notice what happens in the body. How close is each option to your set point for yes and no? The ones closest to your yes feeling is going to be most aligned with your current state of energy.
How did you go?
Were you able to tune into your yes and no feelings?
