Each person on the Earth has a feeling, a gut that he can follow to make sure he takes the good decisions in life and goes the right way. This gut will be developed in time and based on experience, according to results someone had after taking a certain step or decision. And it’s pretty much always a great idea to follow your gut, based on your experience.
What means to trust your gut?
To trust your gut means to listen and follow to your convictions, to your values, to your intuition, and all these are based on what already came into your life before when putting in practice these values and feelings.
Adopting this attitude is by far and most of the times the best attitude, as it will allow you to act accordingly to your beliefs and values and have a life aligned with what you believe, a life that you will love finally.
Logic and feelings? How to listen to both?
What about the logic and the “fight” between logic and feelings? Some people may say that listening to your feelings is a bad idea, as it may equal to listening to your heart and that is not always wise. Still, you need to keep in mind that you have a self-little voice inside you, based on your core values, and that’s the voice you need to live in peace with, listening to its “advices”.
This little “voice” is visible by what we can call some signs around you. So you can see that maybe you are successful in a certain field of activity, based on some type of decisions you took. I heard about someone’s story, saying that he was constantly noticing the 555 number in his life, and he considered it as his number and as a sign two follow in extremely important decisions to take in life. After some time, he tried to find an explanation for this and read an article on Meaning555. Then he understood that there are some “pillars”, as core values in his life, and he needed to follow these in order to find his way.
So how and when are these core values important and when should you follow your gut?
First of all, take this into account when you need to make a quick decision. Listen to your intuition and make sure you take the right step.
Secondly, following your gut is essential when you need to feel that your needs are accomplished and you are at the tight place and in the right moment. In other words, to feel that you find your place.
In addition, trusting your gut is what needs to be done when you’re not sure about something, but in the same time you lack data and you feel confused on what direction to take.
It’s about essential decisions in life and about how to best deal with them, making sure you act according to your values and following your gut.
All in all, we can say that life is full of smaller or bigger experiences and we need to make decisions of different importance degrees at any step.
The idea to keep in mind is that the best way to face these moments and make those decisions is by considering all the advantages and disadvantages, but always based on wisdom life gave you, on feelings and experience.
