Something just didn't feel right
She couldn't put her finger on exactly why
She just knew
They were hiding something
And she could sense it
Felt it deep in her soul
A hollow empty feeling
It just didn't align
Made her gut churn
She knew this path was not for her
Yet could not explain it to others
She stopped, paused, waited
To see if it would pass
But it persisted, this feeling
This little voice inside her
It was a knowing
Instinct perhaps
And everything inside her
Told her, No, not this way
So she moved away
And took another path
What is Intuition?
The Cambridge Dictionary describes intuition as:
“...an ability to understand or know something immediately based on your feelings rather than facts...”
So, what exactly does that mean?
Intuition is that inner voice that guides you to make the decision that is right for you, rather than the “right decision”, which may be based on someone else’s ideas.
It’s that hunch, that feeling, that “knowing” that helps you decide what course to take or what to choose. It can be hard to define, but just stop and think about a time you made a decision that seemed like a risk at the time and later turned out to be much more beneficial to you than the safer or less trodden path.
Intuition has nothing to do with analytical thinking – it is based more on emotion and feeling. You just “know”, right?
Yet, how often do we really trust our intuition?
I find myself trusting it more and more in these crazy times in which we live.
If something does not feel right, or sit well with me, I stop and look at it - and then decide.
More times than not, my intuition has guided me to make the right decision for me - not anyone else, and many times, in hindsight, it has guided me well.
Do you trust your intuition?
Do you follow your hunch?
Next time you need to make a decision, ask your intuition for guidance - feel it in your gut - take the time to really feel if this path is right for you, not anyone else, just you.
Then walk your walk......
