TRUSTING OUR INSTINCTS

Instinct is a natural tendency to behave in a particular way that people and animals are born with and that they obey without knowing why. Most often, it is not the "knowing" that is the case. It is the "trusting". Trusting that we know what is true, and then trusting that we have enough courage to take action on what we know.

So here comes the question, "should we trust our instincts?” It is not always easy to trust your instincts but sometimes it is worth trusting it. Have you ever blamed yourself for not trusting your instincts? Of cause you have, and this is the reason why I had to write this article. I have trust issues when it comes to "my instincts” and like, it happens to me a lot of time and here is the reason why it does, "TWO SIDED PARTS OF ME”.

I often doubt myself and sometimes I wonder, "what if I am wrong? What if something better does not come along? What if it is not the right time? What if...?". Let's say, my instincts tell me, "You have to pass this way" and I just can't do it unless I pass it to the other part of me (it's complicated, I know). So like, "I" and the "other part of me" start the discussion of "you have to pass this way". I always feel like I have a mini-me inside of me (it’s not like I'm a movie addict or something!). All I am trying to say is that, I do not trust my instincts without reasoning and its a risk I always take because sometimes I end up regretting why I wasted my time reasoning instead of just trusting it and do what is to be done.

So what do you do? Here is the thing, we always know what is going on with us, but fear has the opportunity to creep in when we second-guess ourselves. So, I finally got a solution to my "trusting issues" and which is, i am not supposed to fear or reason my instincts often and instead I just have to trust it (trusting worth more than the pain of regrets).

Do you know what's really stopping us from trusting our instincts or ourselves? Here is the answer to that, we've made wrong decisions in the past and some of our decisions have caused us pain or misfortune and we are afraid of our judgment and obviously don't know what the outcome will be. So here is the thing, start with yourself. Build the kind of trust that you would want in a good friend. Make a decision, stick to it and see what happens.

In either case, it starts with us. Are we willing to trust our instincts and just let the nature do its work without questioning (which is not a bad thing) though sometimes leads to regrets but in most cases we have to focus on positivity. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS AND A LITTLE BIT OF SURRENDER.
