why to trust your gut...

  have you ever had a gut feeling about something that you couldn't seem to shake, nagging at your insides almost to the point of pure anxiety..i have had some slight aha moments where I was like "i knew it" but nothing like what I experienced this past week in relation to our family planned road trip..I think a lot of times we tend to shove our guttural feelings down to the bottom of our barometer not really fully engaging in its presence or taking account that they may actually be trying to communicate with us..we end up making the wrong choices based on our ego, instead of the voice of reason that had been whispered its warning all along..I think as a whole, we have become desensitized and disconnected unable to sincerely plug into the corresponding energies that connects us to its source..we are so over saturated and polluted by the food we eat, the drugs that are taken, the environment that we currently are living in, and the artificial intelligence that has replaced our ability to figure anything out on our own..I have noticed that I have become far more sensitive lately, almost acutely aware of what is happening around me internally and externally..i think because I have been working with the crystal kingdom and going for regular acupuncture and healing treatments, I have become far more in tuned and aware than I ever have been before..we had planned a road trip to Chicago for our annual Christmas gathering to spend time with my brother and his tribe..it is something that we have done almost every holiday season for the last 7 years without any prior instinctual hesitations..this year we even took it a step up and decided to splurge, reserving a hotel room up the street from them making it into a mini vacation..wink wink..I however couldn't shake the feeling days before sundays travel of my gut telling me we cant go..by thurday evening my anxiety was starting to kick in to full force and I basically told my husband that we just cant go without words to explain my reason.. I couldn't describe these feelings or put my finger on it exactly but thankfully I didnt need or have too..Eran just simply relieved my anxiety by listening to me and trusting my intuition..we canceled our reservation at the hotel and made the call to my brother to let him know we weren't coming in as horrible as it was to say..the thing about this is that my sister in law is highly sensitive and has experienced my kookiness first hand and knows I don't mess around when its legit..I received validation that came in the form of a photo and a phone call from my sister in law on the morning that we were supposed to be leaving..she called to let me know my gut was working properly and that our ride in would have been miserable if not dead locked on the freeway traveling from Michigan..listening to my gut and being supported by my husband was the correct decision, along with being relieved of not suffering the potential of a "what could have been" scenario..sometimes, even if it comes at a cost of disappointment, you have a choice to follow your internal radars that are indicators to approaching situations giving your attention to its flags..thankfully we did and enjoyed our staycation instead..peace love faith hope <3
