You can use your gut in many different ways, but one thing is for sure, you should never defy it. That's one of my basic principles.
A simple example from earlier today was when I came back after leaving the kids at school and preschool. As I entered the kitchen, my gut told me to check the bags from the US one more time, because that's where the missing Manuka honey lie. I don't know why my intuition was giving me these signals at the time, but I did what my intuition told me to do. And sure enough, at the bottom of one of the bags in another bag lies the honey! Just like that. As I had thought and searched before without getting anywhere. And how appropriate that it turned up just today, as the girls and I are struggling with a sore throat.
You can talk about gut feelings and intuition on other levels as well, such as when your whole person says no even though you are forced to say yes, and the consequences this can have. But it's far too complex to write about here and now. I'll save that for another time.
Thought of the day:
How's your gut feeling? Do you listen to it?
