The quirky urge. A funny tingle. That little voice in your head. These are your gut feelings talking. But what are they telling you, and should you listen? Here’s how to make the most of your own innate wisdom.
Most of us have experienced the sense of knowing things before we know them, even if we can’t explain how. You hesitate at a green light and miss getting hit by a speeding truck. You decide on a whim to break your no-blind-dates policy and wind up meeting your life partner. You have a hunch that you should invest in a little online startup and it becomes Google.
If only you could tap into those insights more often, right? Turns out you can, especially if you learn to identify which signals to focus on — whether they’re sweaty palms, a funny feeling in your stomach, or a sudden and inexplicable certainty that something is up.

Lol thanks.
sending love and bright light to Katy P. I'm sorry for what happened to you. I hope things get better for you.
I've taught my daughter and son to follow there gut feelings.
Thank you for good article.
I learned to limit who i help. i was always that person who would stop if someone had an accident, or seemed to be having car trouble ect. Always that person who asked little kids who were all alone if they knew where their mommy was, and did they need help finding her. Then one night i tried to help the wrong person. Ended up carjacked, sexually assaulted, and an emotional wreck. I still haven't been brave enough to get a car and drive (its been 6 months now)
Thanks
Thanks. My instincts and my brain often go into conflict. Now, hopefully, I won't have the issue of trying to decide which part of me is right about certain things. In retrospect, my instincts have been right about a lot of things.....
thanks.
Thanks for the advice, I believe in a mixture of trusting your gut and using sense. I thought "this is it!" when I met my ex because my gut told me it, while my head screamed, "no!" and my mind was right.
Thank you! The gut should be listened to!
