Have you ever noticed how some thoughts—or decisions—feel instantly lighter? Like something inside you exhales when you think about it?
And others… feel heavy. Tight. Like a brick sitting in your chest?
That’s not random. That’s your body speaking.
We’re so used to living in our heads, trying to think our way through everything. But the truth is, your body is incredibly wise. It picks up on what’s aligned for you—and what isn’t—long before your brain can catch up.
When a thought, situation, or choice feels light, it often means it’s right for you. Not always easy, but aligned. It carries a sense of ease, movement, and possibility.
When something feels heavy, that can be your body’s way of telling you it’s not quite right. It might be draining, pressured, confusing—or just “off.”
This isn’t about being dramatic or avoiding hard things. Sometimes the truth is heavy. But more often than not, heaviness is your nervous system flagging a mismatch.
The key is learning to tune in.
Next time you’re faced with a decision—big or small—pause.
Ask yourself:
Does this feel light or heavy?
And then trust the answer your body gives you, not just the one in your head.
It takes practice. But this one question can change everything.
Because when you start choosing what feels light, you start creating a life that actually fits. A life that flows.
