What’s the most powerful thing your gut has told you?
We all have powerful intuition that if we are in tune enough with ourselves, will guide us to what is right for us.
Sometimes if we are too busy, we won’t pick up the signals or really feel what our body is telling us. That’s why it’s so important to take some quiet time to really tune in to what we are feeling and being told.
There have been several occasions where my intuition or gut has been so absolutely right that I now would never ignore that feeling. There have also been times looking back when I have ignored it, to my detriment, my last relationship being a classic example.
Just last week though I was invited to a party and at the last minute I had a nagging feeling that I shouldn’t go, so even though I had already made plans, I cancelled at the last and stayed home. I found out the next day that a huge fight broke out and totally ruined everyone’s night.
There was also a time that I was offered a job by an amazing agency down in London who I had been in competition with a number of times for work. They offered me an amazing salary and total flexibility working from home, the sector and client base I wanted and basically there was no reason on paper for me to say no. But something inside of me was screaming ‘don’t take it’.
Then the hiring manager was really late for a couple of our calls to tie up the finer details, like really late and it bothered me, so I mentioned it to him. He didn’t take well to the feedback and was pretty arrogant, dismissing it as ‘needing to prioritise’ and ‘only being a few of minutes late, it’s not really an issue’ (try 40 minutes!) I thanked my intuition for allowing me to see before I signed on the dotted line that I would not have been able to work with him.
Our senses pick things up that we cannot logically understand but that feeling of doubt in your tummy is the one guiding you to what is right for you and you should always listen to it. Even if you don’t understand why at the time. 💛
