Gut
instincts are the physical reaction you have to both the internal and external
stimuli around you. Gut instincts can often be tampered by emotions such as fear
and prejudice. When you experience an overwhelming gut instinct, your being is
carrying out a primal response to intuitive information. The ultimate purpose of your gut
instinct is to protect you. As your gut instinct is the most
ancient and primal “sixth sense” you have, it is the one you can rely upon the
most.
Put simply, your body is like the television screen on which your subconscious (the radio waves) transmits its information. When you can learn to read your body, you can learn to accurately tune in to your gut instinct. Our primal impulses don’t just disappear. By honoring the wisdom of this and its impact on the body to produce your gut instinct, you can save yourself much suffering. When it comes to your gut instincts, never ignore the ones below:
“I need help” Your gut instinct doesn’t only warn you of
danger. It also helps to preserve your emotional wellbeing. If you receive a
strong sensation that you need help (whether physically, emotionally, mentally
or spiritually), seek it out. Don’t linger.
“I need to help them” At some point in our
lives, the overwhelming desire to help someone will arise. There may not be any
rational reason why. The other person may appear to be perfectly fine on the
surface. But don’t let appearances deceive you. Have a conversation with the
person. Ask them how they are. This might make you feel vulnerable or
uncomfortable, but you will at the very least make the person feel special, and
at the most potentially save their lives.
“I’m in
danger” Remember
that your gut instincts reflect what your subconscious mind already knows.
Although you may not be able to pinpoint what exactly the danger is, please
listen to this inner warning. It could be the difference between life and
death.
“Something
feels off in my body” Your
gut instinct rarely lies about the state of your health. If a sudden strong and
clear desire arises to see a medical professional, do it. Get a full health
assessment, and even if nothing comes up, feel proud of yourself for practicing
self-care.
“They’re in danger” You might sound like a lunatic. You
might feel embarrassed or perplexed. If you genuinely feel that someone is in
danger, tell them. You have nothing to lose. You might just prevent the person
from making a big mistake or endangering themselves.
“This is
it” Often
when a good thing in your life comes along your gut instinct will immediately
notify you. If you receive a strong and clear feeling that practically screams
“yes” don’t ignore it. This is one of the most important reasons why it’s
essential to listen to your gut instinct. It could make all the difference for
you in your life.
“This isn’t
the right choice” If
you get a strong and clear feeling that what you’re doing isn’t right, pay attention. Even if
there is no moral or logical reason why you should be feeling that way, take
heed.
“Never discredit your gut instinct. You’re not being paranoid. Your body
can pick up vibrations, some better than other, and if something deep inside
you says something’s not right about a person or situation, trust it and keep
it pushing.” (Anonymous)[i]
