Trust you instincts

4. Trust you instincts

This is very similar if not the same as number 1: If it feels wrong, don't do it. We all have the gift of intuition. We don't all nurture our ability and those who do may not  commit to trusting it. Like anything else that we would like to perfect, it takes practice.  The next time your head is instructing your next move, take a moment to ask you gut. See if you get a "feeling."

 A fun exercise to try when you want to confirm what your instincts or "heart" may be telling you only takes a minute. Stand with your arms comfortably at your side and close your eyes. Ask yourself the question and notice if your body leans slightly forward or backward. A forward lean means, yes, that is what you really want to do. A backward lean means you may not want that decision deep down.  For example: "I want to meet Susie for lunch?" See what your body tells you. Or... "I want to shop for a puppy." It's fun to experiment with this when you are not sure what you really want.  See if it rings true for you! But as always, in the final analysis, trust your instincts. They won't let you down.
