Truth has a resonant frequency in the body. You can "think" your way to a new perspective, but if your nervous system is still vibrating with the old story, you will eventually snap back to it.
The **Integrated Decision** is the final step where you bridge the gap between cognitive reframing and embodied reality. It is where the new story becomes the new baseline.
Close your eyes. Hold the "Primary Narrative" (the stress story) in your mind for 30 seconds.
Where do you feel the tension? What is the quality of the sensation? (Hot, cold, tight, numb?)
Now, take three deep breaths. Hold your "Sovereign Refraction" (from Unit 3C) in your mind.
What happens to your breath? Where do you feel a softening or an expansion?
Sovereignty is not about being "right." It is about choosing the meaning that best serves your integrity and your future.
