My gut has both saved me and failed me. Sometimes it's a real toss up choosing between the minds logic and apposing gut feeling.

That makes so much sense. Logic for decisions, gut for people. The heart often knows even when it’s hard. Appreciate your honesty!

@mindstruggle Yes many deny it but heartfelt instinct does exist.

You're not always kind?!? Okay, only 99.987356% of the time. Life is all about learning. Whatever you use to make decisions (gut feeling or no), learn from them and grow from it. Don't overthink this, ms. You're pretty doggone amazing!

If you don't listen to your gut feeling , you get ill simple as that , but pain can make you ignore it .
You never get that fully right .
In religious terms that's whole point of faith

I’ve learned to trust my gut but it’s also wrong a lot. Research is the best thing for me.

I think my mind is like luxury travel trailer.
I can fill it with beautiful things, but if I park in a shitty place for too long it's not very comfortable. Gotta keep it moving.
And I always listen to my gut because it always speaks first. But I wait to hear from my brain and my conscience before I do anything more than just react - because that's where my higher self lives.

That’s a really vivid and wise way to put it!
Also, I love that luxury travel trailer analogy. It’s so true, the environment we stay in shapes how comfortable and clear we feel. Keeping it moving is key.

A lot. More than not. Sometimes it's anxiety but I still listen. And when it passes I come back to whatever I was afraid of if it was just me to check again.
Usually my gut feeling is right. I have ignored it several times and things didn't go well. Like replying to this post...jkjkjk!

Im not entirely sure how well i listen to it.
In truth, im not sure i even know what a 'gut feeling' is.
But ive learnt that the gut has cells that function very much like synapses do - so its definitely a 'thing'.
Ive also learnt that our body commincates with our brain a shit load. So some of what we think is truly derived from what our body is telling it.
But i get what you mean - its jard to tell the inner trash talk from the truth sometimes.

Totally feel you. Sometimes I wonder what my gut feeling even is! And yeah, that inner noise can be so confusing figuring out what’s real takes time. Sometimes I brush it off too, but somehow a lot of things end up pointing back to what my gut was trying to tell me all along. It’s funny how that works.

If it’s negative that’s just the lies we tell ourselves to justify the feeling. Anything positive in life never needed a reason. It just was and that was enough.
