YES or NO?

Good morning and Happy Spring! This is a wonderful message from my friend and mentor Otto Seigel www.geniuscoaching.com. You will be surprised at the beliefs you have around the words "yes" and "no" and the power in making the shift.
Blessings,

How easy is it for you to say "NO"? As easy as saying "Yes"? I would like to hear your immediate response right now to compare with the results of our internal research: Most people have a hard time to say "NO" because they feel that "NO" is negative or could offend friends as well as strangers.

Let's have a closer look: "NO" to drugs is positive and the same is true for NO to sickness, aging, death or anything that could harm or kill us. "Yes" to the same things could be very negative.

So, If NO is not negative and YES is not positive, what do these two words really mean? After all, they are the most important words in any language and among the first one's every infant learns.

Here is the surprising results from our Physical Intelligence research: On a physical level YES means ACTION, and NO means INACTION. Therefore the worst we could do for our brain is saying YES and not doing anything about it; after having this habit for a few decades our brains definitley would get confused - call it depression, distraction, Alzheimers or dementia. Saying "NO" and doing something secretly behind someone else's back would have the same effect. In simple binary code language "YES" means "ON" and "NO" means "OFF". Each nerve cell in our body works that way - a perfect role model for computers.

Action:
Pay attenion to things and situations this week that do not support you in being more alive and apply "NO" in a firm and non-offensive way. Setting boundaries might not be easy in the beginning, but create a lot of breathing room. Enjoy!

Have a Genius Week!
