Go With Your Gut?

Gut Feelings...are they real or do we have gas?

I'd like to think I'm a smart cookie and for years I have used "gut feelings" when making important decisions like whether or not to buy something, meeting a guy, or working on an assignment. How many of you actually go with gut feelings? Are they really accurate? Why do we have them?

Recently, I not only had a huge GUT FEELING, I have the proverbial "slap in the face - wake me up - fall out of the bed" experience. I am one of those rare birds who uses both sides of her brain (stop laughing) my creative and analytical sides. Often there are times where the two cannot seem to meet half way and one MUST take over. Usually my creative side puts up a good fight! Analytical won...again. Could my analytical side be the one keeping me from love? After all, isn't love creative?

I did go with my gut and it lead nowhere but this blog post. I strongly believe everything happens for a reason and there are no coincidences. Life is all about learning lessons and experiencing new and great things. Sometimes logic has to take a back seat to creativity. This time I think I'll just wait it out and take a gas pill. I must admit, this gut feeling was insane (no logic whatsoever) yet I feel like it's not over yet. Maybe I should start making my last meal at 3pm instead of 4.

  1. Hmmm...I'm with you. Gut feelings are not always reliable. Dang, and we thought we had it figured out on how to get answers. Ha! Life continues to play tricks on us. I have learned to make the best decision I am capable of at the moment and the results are either what I hoped for, or they create an opportunity to learn and become a bigger and better person. I stopped beating myself up over mistakes. Not worth the burden! As long as I learn from my mistakes, that is a part of living! : )

    1. Great point...as long as we learn from our mistakes is key. I still don't get why this whole experience happened in the first place if it went nowhere.
