Ever wonder why you say 'yes' to things you actually hate? 🧠 It’s not because you’re weak; it’s because you’re being played by The Rejection-Then-Retreat Law.

The Somatic Feedback Loop

Your gut isn’t a psychic—it’s a biological supercomputer. 🧠 Ever wonder why you get a 'bad vibe' from someone before they even speak? It’s called the Somatic Feedback Loop.

Stop ignoring the data! 📊 2 key insights: • Your body tags memories with physical markers. • Stress spikes occur before logical realization. Link in bio! 👇
