Do you trust your instincts?

View all responses

Yes, I trust my instincts. Throughout my life, I attempted to make decisions against my immediate instincts, and many times, those decisions proved to be wrong, leading to missed opportunities and unwanted outcomes. This struggle between logic and intuition created a constant inner conflict, and I often found myself overanalyzing situations rather than embracing my gut feelings.

Unfortunately, it took me many years to acknowledge and trust my instincts fully. Now, I go by my instincts instead of second-guessing them, allowing myself to navigate life’s complexities with a newfound clarity.

Although this journey toward self-trust has been enlightening, I can’t help but reflect on the fact that I am now in my senior years, and the days of making major decisions are over. Nonetheless, I have learned that even in this stage of life, embracing my instincts continues to guide me, providing a sense of peace and certainty in a world that often feels overwhelming.
