Do You Trust Your Instincts?

That is the writing prompt of the day.

I don’t think I’m trusting them as much as I should.

I tend to doubt my instincts thanks to my mentally ill brain.

I have, on more than one occasion, kicked myself in the arse for not trusting what my gut tells me. I always want to see the good in people. But that has burned me a few times in the past.

So then the doubt kicks in. Is my gut right? Is this a false negative? Or a false positive? Should I really trust what my gut is telling me, or is it my brain interfering?

That is my struggle. But more often than not, my instincts are right.

It’s a matter of trust. I need to start trusting what my instincts are telling me.

Trust, that’s a whole other issue, lol.

There are times I can’t trust my brain, so attempting to trust my instincts creates some inner turmoil.

I need to stop thinking that I need to react immediately and take the time to think about what I am doing in making the decision when it is time.

Flight or freeze really creates issues in my world. I need to find a happy medium to get back in the green zone.

It will take some time, but I think that slowing down and not immediately reacting (unless it’s necessary) will help me out.

Fingers crossed. Let’s see how it goes!
