How Reliable Is Your Gut Feeling?

As human as we are, we all have that voice in our head that talks to us in one way or another. I have it and you have it but then, we all experience it differently. I like to believe to be able to fully listen to your inner voice, you need to be able to set into the mood and listen to it. You need to move away from normal you to a deeper you.

I don’t know about men but I have come to understand that we women have very strong instincts. I’ve felt and seen it with other women and with myself and so I know what I’m taking about. I would like to believe that men also have these instincts but there’s no doubt tha women have killer instincts.

Sometimes I feel these kinds of things don’t just happen. It happens with time and when you start feeling it, you need to groom it to some extent. I don’t really know how I did it but I have killer instincts when it comes to everything around me. Once I don’t feel right about something, I just know something is wrong. And the funny part about all this is that I don’t even try hard to find it, things just play out.

I’d like to believe every experiences this differently but for me, I know how mine plays out. I mean, my instincts come to play in almost everything in my life but if there’s one aspect that I know to trust my instincts a 100 percent, it is when things don’t feel right. For example, when someone lies to me about something no matter how small or big. I’m the kind of person who wouldn’t bother digging into your life or the things you say because I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until you give me a reason to believe otherwise.

Once someone lies to me, I give you 10 hours and things start rolling out like to movie. Everything just unfolds in my face with little to no effort from my end. And given the I’m a very confrontational person, I would most definitely confront you about it and you wouldn’t be able to tell more lies. This is why I tell my friends there’s always some kind of drama going on in my life in one way or the other.

Sometimes even if someone lies to my friends or people close to me, I know the truth even before I find out that they have been lied to. As weird as this all sounds, I’ve learnt to live my life normally and watch how things play out. And because I know this thing about my instincts, I always warn people who don’t know me very well about lying to me especially we are going to have a very good relationship be it friendship, a working relationship or what have you. Because lying to me is like trying to shame yourself in public because eventually, everyone will find out you’re a liar in a very grand way.

Aside this whole investigative part of my instincts, I tend to always feel it in me when things don’t feel right. I know what shows to be at, what places I’m not invited and places I should stay away from. Honestly, my instincts is like a guardian angel to me because it really does protect me in so many ways. If you’re unable to feel your instincts or listen to it, I’d say you should give yourself sometime , move away from all the noise around you start to listen to your body. It is only then that you would be able to fully listen to your inner self .
