When you know, you know

In some cases, it is normalized to go with your gut feeling. Like when you are buying a house. In that scenario it is perfectly fine to say things like: 'I walked in and it immediately felt like home' or 'We just knew this was our house'. I am wondering if this is because it is a big decision and with big decisions we tend to listen more to our feelings then in other cases. Or maybe we are just not aware of it when making small decision like picking dinner.

In an environment that is very focussed on the rational part, it is sometimes difficult to stay with your choices. How many times do you get asked why on your decision? When it is about what you are having for dinner maybe not so much, but when it comes to more life changing decision, it happens a lot. The answer: 'It just feels right' is not always enough for the audience, but it doesn't mean it is not enough for you. I believe that if you know something is right for you, without being able to explain it from a rational point of view, you can trust that inner knowledge.

To feel that trust and to continue to feel that, even though there is no rational explanation for your decision, or you cannot back it up with facts for anyone that asks, is the hardest part. The more experience you gather with trusting yourself with making decisions that are not all, or not entirely, a result of a clear pro and con list, will help you to stay strong and not start doubting your own knowledge.

I mean, it is okay to question yourself on your decision. Is it truly my inner knowledge, my gut feeling? Or is my gut feeling in this case fear, or nervousness? When you are able to be honest to yourself, you can filter these out and know if your choice is the one that is best for you, even if it feels scary sometimes. The more I am in tune and connected to my inner knowledge, the more I can feel and trust what to do, what is best for me, even when picking dinner.

How is that for you? Are you strongly connected to your inner knowledge? And do you base decisions on it? Or don't you? Or maybe you have lost sight of you inner knowledge a long time ago and have no idea how it feels, how to get connected again. If you are questioning yourself 'How did I get here?' because you are not feeling happy where you are and looking back it has all been logic, but maybe it shouldn't have. Trust me, you are not the only one and if you want to get back to that feeling of just knowing what to do without making any list, I can help you get back in tough. You might have lost connection, but you have never lost your inner voice.

With love,
