WHY OUR GUT IS NOT JUST ABOUT OUR HEALTH Have you ever been in a situation where your “gut feeling” told you one thing, but your rational mind said another? If you went with your brain rather than your intuition, there’s a good chance you ended up regretting your decision. Your intuition is the subconscious leader that many people fail to give proper respect to. But learning to listen to this internal compass could help you make better decisions and live a more fulfilling life. It may also help you get closer to making your dreams come true. Our Gut instinct is often unconscious reasoning, the guidance that compels you to turn left when all signs may be pointing right. It’s often the whisper inside that can lead you to the best results possible, if you will just learn to let go and give it a chance. Trusting it however takes guts and needs patience and understanding. It will take time and it will take practice because sometimes you will do something and have no idea where it will lead you. Intuition has been commonly associated with New Age mysticism or a metaphysical way of thinking, but this is slowly changing as strangely enough our intuition was here long before anyone even gave a word to it, and it will be here long after other fad words expire. Apparently they are now even researching how instinct helps troops make important and quick decisions when going into combat and “There is a growing body of anecdotal evidence, combined with solid research efforts, that suggests intuition is a critical aspect of how we humans interact with our environment and how, ultimately, we make many of our decisions,” according to Ivy Estabrooke of the Office of Naval Research. For us mere mortals however, whether it’s deciding which job to take, which direction to turn when you’re lost, or how to handle a conflict in your family, intuition sometimes knows better than the rational mind. The problem is that many of us have buried that little voice so deeply within, we have a hard time hearing or feeling where it is guiding us. If however you are like a growing number of us that have accepted the inevitable you will now that our intuition is always there we just have to learn to listen to it. Here are a few ideas on how we can listen to our intuition more. 1. Meditation: Spend time in silence, simply listening. 2. Commune with nature: Aim to get at least sometime outside every single day. 3. Creativity: Tap into your internal artist by drawing, writing, painting, or making/listening to music. 4. Learn to listen: In general, listen to friends, families, silence, and yourself. 5. Be body conscious: Learn to appreciate the little signs and signals from your body, when it tells you it’s tired, joyful, in need of love, or getting sick. 6. Let go: Warm up to the idea that you don’t have to control everything. Life is going to happen whether you overthink it or not. Relax. 7. Stay positive: A 2013 study in the journal Psychological Science found that being in a good mood boosted participant’s abilities to make intuitive calls in a word game. So smile! Working on becoming more intuitive requires you to adopt healthier habits and a healthier mindset but it is there are ready for us to tune in whenever we want and more importantly listening to it will not only give us a healthier body it will also help us manifest our dreams into our realitys.
