5 ways to know the difference between gut instinct and fear - this is Psyche's gift to overthinkers

[@nyxcole9879]

I have been going through it lately with the man I'm living with. Every time I confront him about his behavior, he turns it around on me, I had so much anxiety stuffing all of that down and taking responsibility for all of our conflicts. But when I realized how he was manipulating me there was a release in my chest and it just felt cooly and calmly right. Moral of my story: I wish I would have questioned this relationship I made when I was young and stuck in the fog of trauma.

Marvelous video! As C. G. Jung said: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

[@Betwixt_App]

Yes, that's one of my fave quotes! Actually, I included it in my book but (if I remember correctly) I couldn't find a reliable reference so it may be apocryphal, but it certainly sums up his message succinctly.

the decluttering idea is brilliant! i have always been a person who jumps in with both feet, on instinct. However when faced with a really difficult decision when i was 25, i took 2 weeks away from everyone to analyse. wrote the lists, did the pros and cons. then that inner voice said, don't be daft, you know what you need. and i followed that instinct despite the large social consequences. it led to my dark night of the soul, which i would probably have done my best to avoid in my other life. i am the authentic me now because of that. I have found that living more in the moment, asking 'what do i feel right now?' is one way to remain in touch with who i am. thank you as always for fascination in stories and life.

This is such a great anecdote and example! I think that, when I’ve jumped into things impulsively, they’ve mainly worked out for the best. But it took me so, so long to trust it!

Brilliant! Thank you for the kind and thoughtful insight. It gonged my longing for innerstanding

[@Betwixt_App]

“Innerstanding”!! I haven’t come across that before. It’s perfect!

Does the gut feeling show up for every decision?? Sometimes I feel like my gut is "quiet" and doesn't have an opinion either way. Feels a little unmooring.

[@Betwixt_App]

Oh, that’s _such_ a good question. I’ve honestly never considered it, but I’d say no it doesn’t always show up. I can only understand gut instinct as a message from the unconscious mind (there may be more to it - as in a bigger, higher spiritual element - but if so, I’m not at the stage of grasping this yet). So, assuming it’s the unconscious speaking from the breadth of our personal experience and inherited wisdom, it’s surely safe to assume it won’t always have the answers (or an answer). That said, we can (and do) numb our intuition very effectively, so it would be hard to say in any particular situation whether the gut is quiet because it doesn’t know or if we’re simply unable to hear it.

Why does she speak so fast and rushing? 😢

[@Betwixt_App]

Hi! I speak fast because I’m a fast talker and can’t stand it when people talk slowly. You can change the speed of playback if you want to slow it down, though!

Symbolism is about symbols meaning specific things to specific people. Symbology is about using symbols to aid in understanding for yourself. 🙏🏻🤍👏🏼
