Decisions: When Your Mind Wants Certainty—but Your Life Wants Movement
We’re taught to decide with facts, plans, and common sense. But if you scan your life honestly, the moments that shaped everything rarely came from logic. They came as you moved—often before you could explain why.
When I was eight months pregnant, I wasn’t “looking” for a partner. My mind had closed that door for five years. Then I met Jakko. A week later he moved in. No logic or spreadsheet could have justified it. Yet it became one of the most right things I’ve ever done.
This is the paradox of decision-making: the mind demands certainty; life asks for movement.
Your mind wants to hold it all togetherThe mind tries to calculate outcomes and prevent regret. It’s a noble job—safety is its brief. But when we let it run the whole show, we get stuck cycling between options, punishing ourselves for past choices, and postponing the next step until “sure” arrives.
It never does.
A different way: follow the divine threadCall it God, the Universe, intuition, or the deeper current of life. There is a guidance system that doesn’t speak in bulletproof arguments. It speaks through your body—through contraction and opening, freeze and flow, burden and relief.
Here’s a practice that makes this tangible.
The Floor-Anchors Exercise Create 6–12 anonymous anchors. On separate papers, someone else writes topics/decisions you’re facing (e.g., “scale team,” “speak publicly about X,” “raise fees,” “rest 30 days,” “move,” “say no to project”). Shuffle them so you can’t see what’s what. Spread them on the floor. Give each page space. Don’t peek. Let your feet choose. Stand where your body wants to stand, not where your mind thinks you “should.” Feel, don’t think. On each page, notice: freeze or flow? urge to lie down? breath opening? pull toward or away? Name the body-state, not the story. Only then reveal. After you’ve felt 3–6 anchors, turn them over and journal what surprised you.What happens is wild. When I did this recently, on one sheet, my body froze—numb, mute. On another, I lay down and exhaled as if an invisible weight fell off. Only after feeling did I flip the pages. The deep-exhale page? “Speak about the big topics you avoid (war, femicide, sustainability).” My mind had all the reasons not to. My body knew it would be a relief for my system—and a truer service.
The freeze page? “Share how I read the Bible.” Again, my mind wanted to keep it “out of marketing.” My body showed me where safety work is needed so truth can come forward clean.
Why this works- Your nervous system is the gatekeeper. If your body doesn’t feel safe, your brilliance can’t land.
- Feeling precedes language. Truth arrives as sensation long before it becomes a sentence.
- Clarity follows movement. Once you move (even by standing on paper), your next right step becomes obvious enough to take.
I have two truths for you:
You will never know the alternative timeline. There is no fair comparison. You can build the capacity to meet whatever follows—so choices stop feeling life-or-death.This is the core of my work: reset the nervous system so you can move without the mind’s punishment loop hijacking you back into control.
Try this now- Run the floor-anchors this week with 1 decision.
- Circle the page where your body relaxed most. Take one small action that honors that relief.
- Notice what opens.
