always trust yourself

[Starrlight]

Always trust your instincts. They are messages from your soul. ❤️

Sadly sometimes your instinct can be off especially if your body is super sensitive from anxiety and stress I’ve learned that multiple times and the hard way.

I know what you mean. I am also that way. But I try to search deeply when I am able. When are ever eventually able to quiet the mind a bit pay attention to what types of thoughts and feelings come up. Or try to figure out what your dreams mean.

I would say my gut instinct is always right and never wrong. If something feels off or weird to me I pay attention to that.

I tell my daughter that all the time. Hopefully she listens.

Yes what happened to me around this same time yesterday when I was yelled at is now coming back to me and my heart races I feel unsettled and sad and anxious … I’m deep breathing. I’m taking care of myself… I’m scared it will happen again though, just waiting… I don’t trust … I don’t feel very safe.

Just remember that you are not the cause of the storms. Just ride them out.

My emotions mess with my instinct all the time. Need a level heard to separate emotions from perception which is really what instinct is.

[Starrlight in reply to Blueruth]

I hear ya yeah that makes sense, thanks for the insight.

The answers come from searching our heart and soul. I believe this.

Yes!

I think those of us with anxiety/depression are confused about our instincts. With anxiety the instinct is to flee and yet there is no tiger. I think it's more about learning to trust your heart and not your head (thoughts).

[Starrlight in reply to designguy]

I think you are exactly right- trust the heart makes sense as our intrusive thoughts can get in the way. Thank you!!!

Yes and your soul is full of wisdom.
