Trusting Your Gut... What Does It Mean?

What are gut feelings, or "gut instincts," really? And should you always trust them?

Chances are, at one point or another, you've had a gut feeling. Maybe someone instantly gave you a bad vibe, or you had a sudden and unexplainable urge to skip an event.

But what are gut feelings, or "gut instincts," really? And should you always trust them?

There's a reason it's called a "gut" feeling. That's where you feel it!

There is often literally a visceral sensation in the gut area —like butterflies in your stomach or a deep feeling at your core.

This is the eternal connection to your divine guidance.

I was talking to a friend of mine and I was telling her how I always know when it's time for me to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’

She asked me, “How do you know? What makes you aware that you ‘know’ this?” It was a reasonable question:

Well, let me ask you this:

How did you “know” that you were going to take the leap to start your own business, or move to a new city or decide to have children?

What made you decide that this was the right decision for you?

It’s intangible, right?

“We know, when we know.”

It’s a feeling.

I realized it’s not in the “knowing” that we get stuck.

It’s in how well we trust what we know.

Trusting that our assessment is accurate, that our feelings are valid, and that our observations are not all in our head.

Trusting that we know what is true for us.

Then having enough courage to take action on what we know.

Trusting yourself is a practice, but you can’t get the practice if you don’t start somewhere.

Start to listen to your gut and intuition more closely.

Make a decision, stick to it. See what happens.

Are you willing to take the bet on yourself that you “know”—that it’s right (or wrong) for you, or that it’s time to take the risk, take the chance and just go for it?

That’s what it takes.

Trust in your truth. Trust in your faith. Trust in YOU.

I share this with you, because I want you stop giving your power away to external sources. EVERYTHING you need is already inside of you… You just have to tap into it.

The more you do it, the more natural it will become.

Rooting for you always ❤️
