Picture waking up tomorrow after you make this choice. If your stomach drops, you have your answer.

Your body often finishes the calculation before your reasoning does. Imagining the morning after a decision skips past the arguments you have been rehearsing and gives you the plain reaction underneath them. That drop is not mystical; it is the accumulated experience you cannot put into words yet reporting in.

Before the next real decision, sit for a minute and picture the ordinary morning that follows each option. Notice which one loosens something in your chest and which one tightens it, then let that sit alongside your reasons rather than under them.
