Do You Use Your Gut Intuition When Making Decisions? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5765)   ranked 52 out of 30,362 in life11 months ago

Most people have what is called intuition. A lot of times they discard it for lack of faith in their own ability to make a decision on something. The intuition comes from within you and I trust my intuition. Read this and tell me what you think? Do you agree or disagree with what this says? I do agree.

Inside Out

"The decisions 'what to do' and 'which way to go' should not be made; they should be discovered. Life is whole and complete and even when you may be seeing it in part, there is always a right answer 'in the streams of power and wisdom' within. It is that in you that knows beyond your conscious knowing. If you only listen, you will hear the right word, and the directions will easily unfold. This doesn't mean doing nothing, saying Pollyanna-style, 'Oh, it will work out - I will just wait for a leading.' Remember when you plug in to a power source or turn on the light switch, there is no delay in the flow. Be still and know that you are in the flow and then move with it."

--Eric Butterworth



Nothing can be more stressful than trying to make the right decision. Worrying that the wrong choice might very well ruin our lives can leave us both frustrated and frozen with fear. It is during such times as these that we would all do well to remember there is within each of us a guiding force, an infinite power that, when trusted upon, will override bad decisions made and rearrange all false steps to lead to good. We can listen to the still small voice within and respond to whatever nudges or urges it gives us, trusting that even if we have "mis-heard", all will work to our benefit. As Butterworth also said, we can "get plugged in and let this fantastic process work."

May you always be willing to plug in to the spirit within.

My"gut" has never failed. It's that first instinct is usually the best thing. I try to follow it. So far I haven't been sorry. But there have been times when I do the wait and see. Sometimes that's good too. Especially if I don't want to make a decision in the heat of the moment.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5765)   ranked 52 out of 30,362 in life  11 months ago

I do both also. Because as you say you don't want to make a decision in the heat of the moment only to find out that although your instinct said to go with it and later find out if you had waited you would have made a different decision and a better one.

I am an intuitive person myself, actually I am an empath, I use my intuition when it is wise to do so, I do not throw away logic because of it. Sometimes the logical choice has to be taken, the thing is I look for a healthy balance between the two.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5765)   ranked 52 out of 30,362 in life  11 months ago

That is a good thing to do. Because only intuition sometimes can get you in to trouble if you don't way the other factors also.

Hello sunshine
Throughout my life, I have had ups and downs with this innate ability of ours to listen to our intuition.
I have listend to it, also I have not.
And now, at this point in my life, I have very little else to guide me.
It is a blessing and if only it would be used more often, I think a lot of life's mistakes could be avoided or minimised regarding this intuition we have as humans.
Intuition and spirit now tells me that I am heading toward a great light that I have dreamed of all my life.
With this in my mind, heart, and spirit, and to know that I will be able to share laughter and happiness with my Son so far away from me one day, keeps me intuitively living:D
((((sunshine)))))xo Thanks for this great discussion about this very important guide for us in our lives.

Good Morning HairDresser,
The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day. I agree with you. To many people second guess them selves because they are not sure of them selves enough to see that their first thought is the best thought. I am happy to hear that your dream is coming close to being accomplished. We have many blessings in life and this is one of them. To work toward something and see it's accomplishment coming about. I am very happy for you.

And a very Good Day to you Dear Friend sunshinelady..Why how could anyone not be better for reading your name?:D And happy that you are so grateful that the sun is shining and appreciating the beauty of our planet that we are blessed with each day..You are a true inspiration sunshine:D xo(((sunshine)))Thanks friend!

I do my best to always follow my intuition and have too many times in life seen what happens when I don't - I should have. I always think of it as the Spirit inside of me telling me what's right or best to do. But also think that Mother's Intuition is very strong also.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5765)   ranked 52 out of 30,362 in life  11 months ago

That is the thing. I do believe that there is more to it than just being intuition. I believe that is one of the ways that the Spirit does guide us.


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (5702)   ranked 34 out of 30,362 in life  11 months ago

Yep - it's that little voice that too many people just don't listen to that can make all the difference in the world.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ESKARENA1 (12211)   ranked 399 out of 30,362 in life  11 months ago

well yes i have to agree, it is the little voice inside that will never let us down
blessed be

Oh there have been so many times when my intuition told me not to go ahead and I did it anyway. I can't think of one time when it turned out well. My last job was a good example. The interview didn't feel right at all, but I went ahead and took the job. What a shambles that turned out to be and I'm out of there thank goodness. I think when I'm worrying so much about the right choice, is when I know the right one and am resisting - you hit it on the head. whit

Hey everyone, I'm new! Well, anyways I always listen to my gut instinct because sometimes certain things don't feel right and you ignore the feeling and later figure that you should have paid attention to that feeling. When choosing what school to go to, I always felt uneasy even from the beginning at my college and I ended up transferring to a new school! I think intuition isn't always reliable but it should be taken into account when you are presented with all the facts as well, and at that point you can make a decision.

Sometimes, I do use my gut intuition in making a decision. But most of the time I use my intelligence based on my experiences, opinions and advices of others, and deep analization. It is better to think a million times before amking a final decision. Than feel so sorry later on.

I'm a strong believer in gut intuition. The world is what you make it. If you truly believe your gut instincts are right, they will be. If you feel the saying is a fallacy, then they'll be wrong. Its all on you. Hope that helped.

Dear Sunshinelady,

In some situations your gut feeling will come true and you can stand by it. I have told my husband many times when something was happening that this is not right and we'll lose etc and it has happened.
Sometimes the gut inner feeling in you tells you please do not go ahead with this and you'll not get through whatever you do. It would be better for us to stop at that time. If not it will surely end up in a failure. Some times we feel just the opposite.
Have you ever thought about it like that, Sunshinelady?

It has taken me all my life to learn to trust it, but i am finally beginning to see that i have intuition and it doesnt let me down. Slowly, slowly I am starting to make decisions in light of the feelings i get, and guess what? I havent been wrong yet
blessed be


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (5702)   ranked 34 out of 30,362 in life  11 months ago

Your not alone there - it took me many many years, later in life to learn to listen to that small voice inside me.
