When It’s Not a Whole Body Yes: How to Locate Yourself and Make a Choice


Listen Later

You’ve likely heard about the “whole body yes” and “whole body no”, and maybe even practiced using these to make your decision-making process a little easier. But choosing is really hard when we don’t feel that nudge from our body wisdom, and we just feel “meh” about the whole thing.

 

When it’s not a definite yes or no, we’re stuck in limbo, and that’s a dangerous place to be.

 

Learning to locate ourselves within a moment of indecision can be as simple as taking a breath. It interrupts the patterns of anxiety, fear, and adrenaline, and that creates a whole new structure for us to make a decision that is based on our actual wants.

 

How do we figure out what we want when it’s not a whole body yes or no? In this episode, we talk about the quickest way to cut through indecision.

 

Finding your “no” actually opens a space for “yes”. -Katie Hendricks  

 

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

What’s the difference between introverts, extroverts, and INTIMATE extroverts?

 

-The space between a whole body yes and a whole body no is limbo 

When we feel ambiguous about a choice, how do we find the answer by locating ourselves?

 

-Learn to trust your inner signals 

A lot of our confusion and doubting our own experience is the result of mixed messaging we receive as children. How do you identify your wants when all you know are the rules and regulations of what we were told to do?
