Alright, peeps, gather ’round! Let’s talk about getting those quick yes, no, or maybe answers to life’s burning questions. You know, those little dilemmas that keep you up at night, like, “Should I eat that entire pizza?” or “Is this shirt making me look like a giant marshmallow?” We’ve all been there, right?
Now, I’m not saying I’m a fortune teller or anything (though, I do have a pretty uncanny knack for predicting when the internet’s gonna go down), but I’m here to share a little trick I’ve learned: The Yes or No Lotus Technique. Think of it as a simplified version of tarot, but without the need to buy a deck of cards that look like they belong in a vintage horror movie.
So, how does it work? It’s surprisingly simple, even for a tech-challenged goofball like myself.
1. The Big Question:
First, you gotta have a question in mind. It’s gotta be a yes or no question, though. No “Maybe I should learn to play the ukulele?” or “Should I buy a whole bunch of useless stuff online and pretend it’s an investment?” Those are just asking for trouble. Stick to the basics, like “Will I win the lottery?” (Spoiler alert: probably not.)
2. The Lotus:
Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful lotus flower, you know, the kind that grows out of murky water but looks all elegant and stuff. Think about its petals, nice and neat, in a perfect circle.
3. Counting Petals:
Now, start counting those petals. Every petal represents a “yes.” Just keep counting until you reach your question.
4. The Reveal:
If you land on a petal, congratulations! That’s a big fat “YES!”
But, if you land in between petals, well, you’re in the “maybe” zone. Think of it as a “maybe” in the same way that a pizza is “maybe” a breakfast food. You can argue it either way, but it’s best to avoid the argument altogether.
5. Repeat as Necessary:
You can repeat this whole process for as many questions as your heart desires.
Here’s a table to help you out:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will I win the lottery? | Maybe |
| Should I eat that pizza? | Yes! |
| Can I do this? | Maybe |
| Should I sleep in? | Yes! |
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. This sounds way too simple, right? But, sometimes the simplest things are the most effective. It’s like those “life hacks” that are so basic, they’re almost insulting. You know, like, “To make your ice cream cone stay put, lick the bottom of the cone first!” But hey, it works!
I’ll admit, this technique isn’t foolproof. It’s not like a crystal ball or anything. Sometimes it gives me answers that don’t make sense, like, “Should I eat that bag of chips?” and it tells me “Maybe.” What kind of answer is that?!
But hey, what do I know? Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I need to work on my visualization skills. Or maybe I just need to eat more pizza.
What do you think? Have you ever used the Yes or No Lotus technique? Does it work for you?
