Confused.

Having second thoughts.

Plus your body is giving you signal of uneasiness, something that is kind of weird that you don’t normally feel.

These are the common instances when we are in a situation which we need to make a decision, yet, we cannot make up our mind instantly. We cannot become straight to the point or be direct to what we have to do. Our mind is like walking to and fro that achieving peace of mind is slim to none.

We have been in so many situations where we are in between of going and not going; hesitantly saying yes and/or no; uncertainly wanting something or not and the like.

These are the cases that each one of us have experienced and made us come into a decision which are our heart and mind conflict. And as a result, we ended up having regrets later saying, I wish I didn’t do it, I wish I did follow my instinct.

Well regrets always come later, no one really knows what would be the exact consequence of our not-so-firm decision until we already have it.

For instance, many of us happen to experience that one of our colleagues or friends invite us for some gathering or party, and in the first place we do not feel like going but the fact that they are someone who is close to us, we just ‘yes’ in order not to make them feel that we are anti-social or killjoy. And when we are in the event, we realize how uncomfortable we are in and we wish we didn’t come.

In terms of business, we are having second thoughts in joining that kind of famous investment project that people are talking, since we feel like it’s a scam considering the huge figures of returns. But still we dive in for we cannot discredit that ‘money back guarantee’ promise. We are hesitant but we decide to take part. And all of a sudden, in the middle of our term as a member, many are pulling out and the big bosses are running away. Right after that, we feel so dumb of ourselves for not being wise enough in making that terrible decision. We wish we did listen to our instinct in the first place.

As they say, listen to your sixth sense. And we ask how?

Our body does not cheat us. When something is not really right, it gives us signal. We feel uneasy or we feel something that is inexplicable deep within. The problem is we tend to take it for granted as we are overpowered by so many external factors. So we just go for something we are unsure. Little did we know that we were making ourselves in danger or put our dear selves in a situation where it’s completely unfavorable to us.

Later we realized, we wished we listened and followed our instinct.
