Defined Sacral center

This is your engine — real, physical energy shows up when you're doing something you actually said yes to. That gut 'uh-huh' or 'unh-uh' response is the most reliable compass your body has. Ignore it and the energy dries up; follow it and it seems to refill itself.

Tip: Follow the gut response and finish what it says yes to before starting the next thing.

Open (undefined) Sacral center

Your energy is borrowed from whoever's around you — the exact same task can feel effortless in one room and exhausting in another. The trap is not knowing when to stop, because an open sacral can be pushed to keep going long after it should've called it quits for the day.

Tip: Build in rest before you're exhausted — your body won't reliably tell you to stop on its own.

Question to ask yourself

Am I still working because it's mine to finish, or because I don't know how to stop?
