Overthinking a Choice? Your Body Might Already Know the Answer
LIVE treehouse teaching this Saturday (with next-day replay + helpful PDF)
Last month, I was faced with a big decision.
My mind was frantic. It made lists… it played out worst-case scenarios… it tried to intellectualize my way into clarity.
But clarity didn’t come… not until I got quiet… and listened to my body.
What I felt then is what I’ll be sharing in this weekend’s Treehouse gathering:
That your body holds wisdom.
That it knows what “yes” feels like.
That you don’t have to figure it all out in your head.
This Saturday, I’ll guide you through a gentle somatic practice to help you tune into that quiet knowing, so you can make more grounded, aligned decisions, even when the world feels unsettling and uncertain.
Why this topic matters to me:
I have a master’s degree in special education, and during my years working with students, I often welcomed kids into my classroom who were feeling agitated, confused, or overstimulated.
It became a little haven: quiet music, soft light, and no pressure to talk right away. Just a space to breathe, settle, and begin to regulate their emotions.
The impact was often profound.
That experience showed me how powerful it is to have spaces and practices that cultivate harmony in our inner world, especially when the outer world feels anything but. Now, I offer those practices to adults.
In Saturday’s live session, we’ll explore how to reconnect with your body’s inner wisdom, so you can make decisions that feel clear and true.
You’ll learn how to:
• Recognize when your body is guiding you toward a “yes” or a “no”
• Navigate decision fatigue, overwhelm, and information overload
• Use simple grounding techniques before making choices
This isn’t about perfection or always knowing the “right” answer. It’s about learning to pause, listen inward, and move forward from a place of deeper trust and clarity.
Whether you’re facing a big life decision or feeling unsettled by the uncertainty and challenges in the world right now, this session invites you to nurture a small space of calm and harmony within.
