The Power of a Yes or No Question

Welcome to this week’s Empowered Slacker Society, where we aim to revolutionize how you approach productivity and personal growth. Today, we’re exploring a profound yet straightforward strategy with Stela Murrizi, designed to enhance your resourcefulness and resilience. Let’s dive into a method that helps align your choices with your authentic self: the power of yes or no questions.

The Illusion of Complexity

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to be seduced by complexity, believing that more is better. However, this perception often leads us astray. Stela Murrizi invites us to consider a different approach, where we hold all the answers within ourselves. By focusing your attention inward, you can shape your reality in a way that aligns with your true desires.

When you focus outward, seeking validation and answers from others, you end up adopting someone else's worldview. But by directing your attention inward, you create a path that is meaningful and authentic to you.

Embracing Simplicity: The Power of Yes or No

So, how do you uncover what’s truly meaningful to you? Stela suggests using the simplicity of yes or no questions. Ask yourself, “Am I drawn to this because it aligns with me, or because I feel I have to?” This questioning can help you sort through the clutter of external expectations and find clarity.

When confusion strikes, and you find yourself lost in external advice or opinions, use this simple question to center yourself. Your body knows the truth; it’s a matter of listening to it. This approach will guide you toward decisions that are authentic to you and away from the distractions of external shoulds and expectations.

The Pause: Your Gateway to Inner Clarity

A crucial part of Stela’s process involves pausing. Before diving headlong into seeking answers, take a few moments to breathe and relax. This intentional pause interrupts the constant mental chatter, allowing your mind to settle and your body to offer clarity.

While paused, ponder what's going on internally. This curiosity opens the door to clearer self-understanding and aligns your actions with your true intentions. Ignore the nagging voice urging you to hurry; instead, focus on being present and intentional.

Listening to Your Body’s Wisdom

Once you are calm and centered, ask yourself, “Is this aligned with what I choose to create?” You’ll hear the answer swiftly—often accompanied by doubts, rationalizations, and external stories. Recognize this noise for what it is, but focus on that instant, truthful answer. Trust your body’s wisdom, and give it precedence over external opinions.

A New Way to Engage with Life

This mindful approach requires gentleness and patience. We’re often taught to follow prescribed paths, trusting external authorities over our instincts. Stela encourages reversing this notion, fostering a deeper trust in your own body’s signals and insights.

Consistent practice of this technique fosters a stronger connection with yourself, making you more resilient in facing life’s challenges. Your body’s truth will guide you toward decisions that resonate with your authentic self.
