The Lesson

The body is not the enemy of clear thinking. It is a partner in it. Interoception — the perception of your internal state — is a documented pathway to better decisions, more accurate empathy, and steadier emotional regulation.

A "yes" in your body feels open, warm, spacious. A "no" feels tight, cool, contracting. Neither is loud. Both are consistent.
