Best Life Hack – My New YES Or No Trick
Want to know the best life hack to make your life easier? Here it is! My simple new YES or NO Trick to end indecision.
Let’s chat about the best life hack.
I want to share with you a simple new trick that I have just discovered that is making my life feel so much easier. I call it my YES OR NO TRICK.
I wish I knew who I could credit for giving me this idea but I have to say it came from listening to a mishmash of podcast episodes the other day after deciding I wanted to learn more about my human design profile which is a MANIFESTING GENERATOR.
BEST LIFE HACK
In a nutshell:
According to the Jovian Archive, Human Design is a map to understand your genetic nature better. The Human Design Chart, also known as the BodyGraph, defines where energy flows within you and how you can harness that energy to your best ability.
In addition to better understanding your genetic nature, you can uncover the conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself that will lead you into true alignment with who you are.
This concept is based on psychology to encourage greater fulfillment in your life.
Your Human Design type is based on your birth date, birth time, and birthplace – rooted in the idea that every individual was created to live on earth with purpose and intent.
So I’m apparently a manifesting generator and ages ago I had a comprehensive report done for myself which totally blew me away because it described me in ways that I had never seen or heard before but honestly it was EXACTLY ME.
But then I forgot about it for ages, gosh maybe even over a year before I came across the concept again. And I thought: mmm, maybe I should delve into this a little deeper because it might help me understand myself and all my quirks better.
So the most important thing that came out of this recent deep dive for me was all about how Manifesting Generators make decisions and to make decisions well, we really, really need to learn to trust our gut instincts in life.
Our gut or our Sacral is our internal compass, the source of our truth and our very best navigational tool for our life. Now thankfully I now see the truth of this statement – at least it’s true for me – but I personally discovered this the hard way.
Over the last few decades I can think of plenty of times when my gut said no but I disregarded it because my brain told me “hang on, what do you mean no … .this actually makes the most logical sense.”
But every time I made a decision using only my brain with zero regard for my gut feeling…well it didn’t matter now much my brain tried to convince me … if my gut was screaming yes or no, my gut was always right in the end.
BEST LIFE HACK
People who are manifesting generators like me do best in life when we allow our gut to guide us and tell us where we need to go, when we need to do something, and what we need to do.
Our job is to listen to it closely and trust it, because when we don’t listen to and trust our gut, we feel out of alignment and when we are out of alignment our signature “not-self theme” or feeling is frustration.
Which of course is also very true for me and this frustration can be used as a red flag to help us understand when and where we might not be slipping into incongruence which is a term in psychology that means when the real self does not align well with the ideal self.
Okay so this brings me to this cool YES OR NO TRICK that I heard spoken about with regards to Manifesting Generators.
Honestly I think that this could just as easily be embraced by people who aren’t into human design or have never even heard of human design because it is such a simple trick to embrace.
The trick is this: rather than asking yourself open-minded questions that leave your mind feeling blank, switch to asking YES OR NO questions instead.
Specifically with regards to Manifesting Generators who were feeling frustrated and maybe disregarding their gut, this idea was inviting them to explore: Where did I say yes, when I wanted to say no? or vice versa.
Because we are happiest and most satisfied in life when we put our energy into things that are a hell YES in our gut and when we say NO to things that are a no in your gut.
BEST LIFE HACK
So here’s how this trick works:
Every time you aren’t sure about what to do next, go ahead and ask yourself a simple binary question which is defined as a basic closed question that only has two possible answers: usually yes or no.
For example, should I go out tonight with my friends: YES OR NO?
What is your gut telling you to do?
Should I cook seafood tonight for dinner? YES OR NO?
If your gut says no, all good. Should I cook chicken instead? YES OR NO?
What is your gut telling you is the right choice? Should we go away for Christmas? YES OR NO?
Should I start a new challenge or not? YES OR NO?
Should I take the day off today? YES OR NO?
BEST LIFE HACK
Can you see how when you ask yourself questions like this, your gut will often instinctively know the right answer, in less than what feels like a second?
It’s either yes or no and this is completely different from asking yourself an open-minded question like: OH WHAT SHOULD I DO TODAY? Let me sit here and twiddle my fingers like I work it out.
Since implementing this strategy I have skipped so much indecision by getting straight to the heart of my answers by listening to and trusting my oh-so-wise-and-wordly-intelligent sacral gut.
This is probably the most basic strategy I have ever shared with you here on this episode but for me it is one of the best, especially if you are a Manifesting Generator like me. Because we are designed to use our energy by responding to situations by listening to our gut and in a simple binary way.
BEST LIFE HACK
So all we need to do is say yes or no depending on what lights us up inside and this simple yes-or-no response is how we access our energy.
Oh my gosh – to think I was making my life so much more complicated in the past than it really needed to be by asking myself these deep and powerful long-winded questions that often left me stumped. When all I really needed to ask was a question that demanded a YES OR NO? response from me.
That’s it for me today. As always, you know I love and appreciate you all so much.
Wishing you much luck and love,
