Gut Instinct


"Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe it's enough."
Robert Heller

There is a little nudge in our belly when faced with a life situations, and it is referred to as a gut reaction. It can vary from slight movement to a full blown upheaval. When this happens, we need to pay attention, prior to taking immediate action. We need to explore why we are having this response to determine if it is caution or encouragement.

We can begin by noticing this guidance in small every day situations. This will build our confidence, preparing us for challenging decisions. The key to this guidance is gathering more information and questioning why it is occurring. When we understand our reactions, we move through life with more confidence and accuracy. 

When we experience a stirring in our belly, it should prompt us to dig deeper or at the very least pay attention to what is unfolding. It may be alerting us to a new opportunity that could be expanded. If it is obvious that something is wrong, then evaluate what is truly unfolding and what action would be best advised. Simply pay attention.
