When Is OK Not OK?

That’s a question The Grasshopper tossed out one morning a long time ago.

At first, it felt like a riddle — but I had a hunch that if I kept exploring, something would eventually click. And it did.

I discovered that real OK is something you feel — a physical sensation in your body. Fake OK, on the other hand, lives in your head.

You know the kind — when you keep telling yourself, “It’s fine, it’s OK,” hoping that’ll make it true. But that’s not real OK. That’s a knockoff version.

Here’s what I found: when your head says “OK,” but your body is flashing “Not OK,” it’s not OK.

It’s kind of like that old baseball rule — a tie goes to the runner. If the ump senses the ball hits the glove at the same time the runner’s foot hits the base, the runner’s safe.

So, if you’re getting an OK signal in your head and a not-OK signal in your body, rule in favor of your body. Every time.

And here’s something interesting — your body’s signal always shows up first. If we’re not tuned in, we miss it, and default to whatever story our head is telling. When head and body agree, great. When they don’t — that’s when the trouble starts.

OK isn’t OK when it’s just mental. When you ignore the feeling in your body, you’re setting yourself up for discomfort.

Bottom line: Trust your tingle. It's the best barometer you’ve got for finding genuine OK.

All the best,

John
