In this talk, we explore the one part of our lives that cannot lie: the body. While we can deceive others and even ourselves with our thoughts, our nervous system always reveals the truth about where we feel safe and where we don't. By noticing which people, places, and activities cause us to tense up or relax, we find a built-in manual for living. Learn how to use the signals of your body as a compass to navigate your relationships and environment, helping you align your life with what truly resonates with your soul.

Transcript

We can lie to ourselves,

We can lie to our therapist,

We can lie to our partners,

To our significant others,

To our friends,

To our lovers,

To our parents,

To our kids.

We can lie to anyone,

But tension always says the truth.

What's in your body is always true.

So notice who you feel your nervous system relax around,

Who you feel your nervous system tense up around.

Notice the kinds of things you do where your body can be relaxed and you feel at ease.

Notice the people,

Activities,

Places where you just don't feel like yourself.

Like for example,

Amsterdam,

Scandinavian countries,

I don't feel like myself.

Italy,

I feel like myself.

Chicago,

I don't feel like myself.

New York City,

I feel like myself.

It's gonna be different for you.

Notice what it is for you because tension always tells the truth.

And it is the best map you will ever have.

Tension or lack of tension in your body is the best map for making your whole life the way you wanna live it.

We think life comes without a manual,

But the manual is how much energy you have and tension versus relaxation in your body.

So I hope you use these tips to have a more fulfilled,

More happy,

More rewarding life.
