Following Your Intuition:
How many of you have heard of your “gut instincts”?
How many of you actually follow your gut instincts?
We have the mind which we use to help with our decision-making, making choices based on sensible logic. We have a thought then we act on what will fit correctly into our view of the world.
Making decisions using our mind has allowed us to evolve as a species, because of the use of this tool, it has given us a competitive advantage over other animals.
However, the mind has many potholes which are felt when we ONLY use our mind. Sometimes, we know logically what we should be doing but there is a niggling in the belly of our stomachs that is telling us something isn’t quite as it seems.
Our intuition guides us from combining the gut and another force we are yet to know the exact core of yet.
On a scientific level did you know that we have over 100 million neurons in our gut?
Should we not be listening to such an intelligent life form?
On a more spiritual level, there is no denying that these gut feelings can shape our lives for better or worse, depending if we listen to them or not. There are countless stories of these gut feelings allowing people to avoid dangerous situations or on the contrary bringing them to prosperous opportunities.
The more you listen to your intuition, the stronger it becomes. Try sitting with yourself and just clearing your mind and slowly but surely messages and feelings will come to you.
Don’t forget… Follow your intuition!
Do you have any interesting stories of how you did or didn’t follow your intuition and what happened as a result?
