Trust your gut.
Throughout your life, your intuition will naturally guide you to your unique growth experiences. When you are headed towards a dead end, your intuition will also warn you of that. Being able to trust your guts is priceless.
It means you instinctively know what to do when things are changing, when you may need to make a decision you didn't expect, or when the moment calls for a leap of faith. We all have this basic ability to read our inner "yes" and "no". Here are the most common characteristics of peoples’ basic inner directives.
All about NO:
Intuition, being independent of the ego, can give you a "no" reading about something your mind says should thrill you. Did you just get invited to join a prestigious firm, yet inside your reaction is curiously negative? That’s because the intuition responds to energy, and not logical assumptions. Your intuition is capable of seeing the big picture instantaneously, and knowing joining that prestigious firm is not the best choice.
What are some likely things going on inside? You are curiously unenthusiastic...your body is hanging back and your stomach just tightened. Your breathing just got shallow. Although aware that you are going to disappoint people, you tell your boss you're going to sleep on it.
There are many NO natural body responses. Typically, it feels like a dimming of light and energy, a physical contraction, a sense of something not going anywhere, a lack of connection.
Some people mistake this to be a fear of commitment. If you are about to make a commitment that is right for you, you should be getting a YES from your body.
All about YES:
A "yes" is opposite to NO and you should feel it in your body. A "YES" feels strengthening, lightening, stabilizing, peaceful, energizing, or expansive. A YES direction may be challenging, but it actually simplifies th ingsbecause you feel within yourself it’s the right choice.
The role of synchronicity. I remember once being at the airport in New York in my early twenties, frantic with indecision. I was hanging out with a very attractive musician, and in a few minutes I was either I was going to get on a plane and join his exciting tour, or I was going to get a flight home. Suddenly in the direction of home, a woman with a beautiful baby girl appeared, smiling right at me. I took it as a positive sign of life and headed in her direction. What did I miss? A serious car accident that ended the tour.
“Ask and Ye Shall Receive” is an operating principle in the universe. When you’re torn, ask the world to give you a sign…then follow the basic rules for yes and no indications. How do you know you made the right decision? You’ll feel calmer.
