Mini Motivation #32 - Trust yourself
You have a good feeling about something. Then, you decided to go against those feelings, trying to justify them. After that, that something turn out to be really good, and you regretted that you failed to act.
Ever had that happen to you? I know I have.
Oh, and how about when you do act on those good feelings, and it turned out to be the right thing?
Yup, that happens too.
That good feeling, is your unconscious mind trying to tell you something. You see, while your conscious mind can only focus between 5 to 9 things at one time (some would argue it's like 3!), your unconscious mind filters none of the information around you.
That explains why it can give you those good, or gut, feelings. It's essentially a computer with a million sensors, processing those info to help you make better decisions.
So the next time you're standing on the ledge, trying to figure out if you want to go ahead and try something new, or to hold back and be cautious, calm your thoughts, put your palm to your stomach, and ask yourself,
What does my good feeling say?
Could you be wrong? Sure, but since your conscious mind has already factored in both pros and cons, and you're 50-50 on it. Just let that good feeling push you into action.
After all, if you can't trust yourself, why can you trust, huh?
Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads.
From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.
Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.

That is true, people are afraid to trust their feeling and take responsibility- instead they are trying to look for advises around them.
Easy for others to give advice, because they don't have to live with your consequences. :)
"You have a good feeling about something. Then, you decided to go against those feelings, trying to justify them. After that, that something turn out to be really good, and you regretted that you failed to act."
I 100% agree with you. Thank you!
It is really the dilemma between Intuition and logic. Being over Doing and trusting the process. On my profile I have an article called "Trusting the process" which adds on to your post here quite harmoniously.
Shifting from logic Intuition is pretty much like learning walking again.
Yeah. The intuition vs logic battle is as old as time. Even knowing the right time to act is not easy. I like to think that we're not smart enough to have all the answers, so better to just be guided by the process, and be in the flow.
Exactly! Thinking itself is an act of Separation, an act of Doing. Whenever we try to give meaning to something, we are inevitably giving it a reality it does not deserve and shut close from the miracle.
Really? I love this..
