Our culture teaches us to listen to our mind and ignore our body. However, studies have found that the the human body processes information at a much faster rate than our conscious mind. So what does this mean to you? It means listening to our bodies and its infinite wisdom is a far more effective way to make decisions than relying only on our minds.
The Concious Leadership Institute defines Whole Body Yes as what "happens when you are fully aligned with your whole body (head, heart and gut) and there is a bodily sense of well being as you consider a choice." It's about getting quiet and paying attention to how our whole body is responding to saying yes to something vs how it feels when we say no.
For example, you may be considering whether or not to take a job offer that would mean you have to move to another state. A big decision and usually full of pros and cons. You would tune into your body and see who it feels when you imagine saying "yes" to the job offer. Does your body feel calm, excited, and happy? Or do you feel your muscles contracting, your breathing get shallow, or an ache in your gut? If you really take the time to tune in and listen you will ultimately find your answer. And if you are not getting a full body yes then it's a no for now.
