How to Know if It’s a True Yes or a Sacred No (From Your Body, Not Your Mind)
How do you know when something is a true yes…
or a sacred no?
Not the mind’s yes.
Not the people-pleasing yes.
Not the “I should probably do this” yes.
But the deep, embodied truth inside your body.
Why So Many Women Feel Confused
Because we were never taught how to listen.
We learned to:
override our needs
prioritise others
silence our truth
And over time…
We disconnected from our body.
What a True Yes Feels Like
A true yes doesn’t come from pressure.
It feels:
expansive
open
grounded
alive
Even if there’s fear present…
there’s also clarity.
What a Sacred No Feels Like
A no is often quieter.
It can feel like:
heaviness
contraction
resistance
subtle discomfort
And many women override this.
Because saying no once felt unsafe.
The Real Work
This isn’t about decision-making.
It’s about nervous system safety.
Because if it doesn’t feel safe to say no…
you will keep saying yes.
Practice This
Next time you’re faced with a decision:
Pause.
Close your eyes.
Ask:
“What does my body feel?”
Then listen.
Your Body Already Knows
The question is…
Are you willing to trust it?
Invitation…
If this spoke to something inside of you…
If you’re realising how often you’ve overridden your body’s truth…
I’ve created something to support you in deepening this.
I recently guided a powerful workshop on Honouring Your Sacred Yes & No to help you:
reconnect with your body
understand your signals
feel safe to honour your truth
This is the work that changes everything.
Right now, you can access it for $11 (normally $111).
