What is your gut telling you?
Introduction
When I was in my early 20s, I started working in sales. At first, it felt great. I made a lot of money and had a ton of freedom to travel and spend time with friends. But after about six months into this new job, things started going downhill. It began when my boss didn't give me a raise and then got worse when he began pressuring me to do unethical things (like lie). Eventually he asked me to sign some paperwork that would have obligated me to work for less than minimum wage for years—and if I refused him, he'd cut off my commissions entirely! In the end, though, I didn't sign because something inside told me not to trust him—and thank goodness it did because we're talking tens of thousands of dollars here!
If a situation feels off, it probably is.
If something feels off, it probably is. If something doesn't feel right, listen to your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, don't do it. And if something doesn't feel right, stop it
Your gut knows what's right for you.
Your gut is an incredibly powerful tool. It knows what's right for you, and it'll tell you if something isn't right. You might have a nagging feeling about something or someone that turns out to be right. And when your gut tells you to do something, even if it seems hard or scary at first (like quitting your job), listen to it! If something just feels off, there's probably a reason why—and most of the time, those gut feelings are correct.
Sometimes we try to ignore our instinct.
It is important to note that all of us have instincts.
We are born with them, and they are a part of who we are as human beings. But sometimes, our instincts get buried deep within us because we have been taught not to trust them. We have also been taught that it is best to ignore them because they can lead to misunderstandings and cause conflict between ourselves and others.
In order for us to survive in society, we must be able to suppress our instincts at times in order to fit in with the rest of society. Often this means suppressing our feelings or ideas based solely on the fact that there is no way for us all agree on everything 100% percent of the time unless you live alone or are never exposed or influenced by anyone else’s opinion ever again!
This doesn't mean that ignoring your gut feeling will always be bad though—it just means being aware when something doesn't feel right so you can make informed decisions about what actions should be taken next based off what your intuition tells you (either directly through intuition itself or indirectly through logical reasoning performed after consulting information from other sources).
Speak up when something doesn't feel right.
But speaking up is often easier said than done.
There's a lot that stops us from speaking up: fear of being wrong, fear of what people will think, fear of what you'll think later. But if you don't speak up when something doesn't feel right and there's nothing more to it? You can always say sorry later.
Go with your gut in order to avoid major regret down the road.
Trust your gut. Your gut is telling you something, and it’s important to listen to what it says.
Don’t second-guess yourself or let anyone else influence your decision. You know what’s best for you, so don’t let someone else tell you otherwise!
Don’t be afraid of making a mistake or failing—everyone does at some point in their lives, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world!
Trust your gut and go with your instincts, they are always there for a reason and are always right.
Trust your gut and go with your instincts, they are always there for a reason and are always right.
Your gut is the part of yourself that you can't see but you know it's there. It's located between your stomach and small intestines, which means it’s also known as the stomach-brain or belly brain. The nervous system connects to the brain and then carries signals back down through the spinal cord to organs in our body such as our digestive tract. These signals control digestion, but also play a role in how we perceive things like emotions and intuition."
Conclusion
If you’re still hesitant about trusting your gut, think about it this way: Think about the time when you ignored your instincts and you were really glad that they told you otherwise. Maybe it was when someone wanted something from you that felt wrong. Or maybe it was the time when someone asked for advice or help with something but didn’t really seem like they wanted to listen; their questions just seemed kind of insincere. In any case, your instincts are always there for a reason—and if something doesn't feel right, go with them! Trusting yourself can be scary at first, but once it becomes second nature, I promise there will be no going back.
