Harnessing Intuition: Trusting Your Inner Voice for Better Choices
Written on
Chapter 1: The Power of Intuition
In recent days, I received an email that brought both excitement and anxiety. After a year of waiting, I finally had the chance to meet with a specialist. While this was a wonderful opportunity, it also triggered a series of events that felt overwhelming.
I found myself on the phone with my boss, requesting an extension for my leave. I needed to arrange for someone to take over my responsibilities during my absence. Financially, I had to move funds around, inform my landlady, and change my flight—all within a tight timeframe. During September, ticket prices soar, and my agent confirmed this reality.
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.”
— Dean Koontz
Despite this whirlwind of activity, I felt an unsettling urge to pause and reconsider my decisions. I brushed it aside, driven by the urgency of the situation. Within hours, I had implemented all the necessary changes and managed to sleep peacefully that night.
Days later, I met with the specialist for a new treatment. The sixth day was critical; it would determine the course of action based on how my body responded. Unfortunately, the assessment did not yield favorable results, and the treatment was halted.
Reflecting on this, I recognized the significance of that initial instinct. I could have retained my original flight plans, preserving my finances, and potentially benefitting further. This scenario isn't unique; I’ve encountered this nagging feeling repeatedly throughout my life. It seems to be a divine gift, and when I ignore it, complications often arise.
As I write this, I commit to heeding this inner voice moving forward. If I cannot dismiss it, I will at least take a step back, allow time to unfold, and observe how the situation develops.
“Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can’t do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they’ve seen it often before.”
— Agatha Christie, Murder at the Vicarage

Chapter 2: Learning from Experience
In the video titled How I Fixed My Gut Health (Using Science), the speaker dives into the science behind gut health and the importance of listening to one’s body. This aligns with the theme of trusting our intuition and the signals our bodies send us.
The next video, Cody Carnes – Firm Foundation (He Won't) (Official Lyric Video), further emphasizes the theme of resilience and trusting oneself, resonating with the journey of self-discovery and the importance of intuition in our lives.
