What you should know
Your gut feeling originates from the automatic assessment of your information and experiences over time, while your unconscious mind gives you a strong emotional reason to trust your gut.
Sometimes this first assessment is wrong since your concerns, biases, or worries can affect your gut feeling, especially when you're under stress.
When dealing with a problem that seems unclear or complicated, executives often rely on their gut feelings. They trust their gut and look at how things have gone in the past in comparable situations.
People can be very intuitive in some parts of their lives, like when they can tell when someone has a natural flair for something. But they can also be very bad at feeling tension between two people.
Good intuition doesn't make you feel stressed or anxious. A real instinct may seem like calm clarity, like you are comfortable and centred.
Do Something Now
- Start small: Compare what's happening now to what you've been through before, make small choices, and pay attention to the outcomes.
- Mind and body: Pay attention to your body with all of your senses and see how it reacts to different things.
- Talk to a therapist. A health professional may be able to help you get better at trusting your gut.
