Your "Gut" feeling.

Izable2011

Do you trust yours, or do you think it is silly to do so?

I personally think it depends on any given situation. I can't go soley on my gut feeling all the time. Is there ever a time where you can truly trust it?

Depends on the situation and my actual knowledge of it. There's a difference between trusting your gut regarding something you're already relatively familiar with and trusting your gut blindly without any other information.

I don't always go with my gut feeling, but it's an eerie feeling how often it's accurate.

^^ Yeah that.

I met DH on Dec 16, 1988. I went home from college for Christmas and he came over to my parents' to take me out for NYE. We'd had 1 date prior to hat. I just knew in my gut that he was the one. I'd never felt that way about anyone I'd dated before.

I could also tell most of the time when the kids were getting into something they shouldn't. I called it my "mommy radar".

Other times I've just known things would end up a certain way or that a decision was a good or bad one before it was even made.

It's also frustrating when you don't go with your gut feeling and wish you had!

Agreed! I hate that!

If anyone wants me to get philosophical/theological on this, I could discuss St. Ignatius' explanation of "internal movements of spirit".

Hehe this reminds me of the Little Mermaid. Sebastian's full name was Horatio Thelonius Ignatius Crustatious Sebastian.

You need to get out more.

I would agree with this.

How come after all the times I've seen this movie, I didn't know that was his full name? Ha!

I always trust my instincts.

I think I remember reading once that men are better off going with their first instinct but women make better decisions if they stop and consider all options. Or I have that backwards... can't quite recall.

I can be very indecisive when I have options. It's usually best for me to keep things simple. I try to carefully think things through but if I get impatient or take too long I'll just go with my gut.

I always follow my gut if I'm packing and am not sure if I will need X, or even what I'm taking in my purse. Half the time I need what I was debating about, but every time I've said, nah I won't need X, I do.
