LEARNING TO ”TRUST YOUR GUT” First of all, what does “trusting your gut” actually mean, and secondly why should we do it? Your “gut instinct” is your basic intuition, a state of immediate understanding or reaction to something without any cues, influence or reasoning. There’s no need to “think it over” or get another opinion – you just know. Trusting your intuition is actually the ultimate act of trusting yourself. It’s the most reliable source of knowledge and guidance that you can ever have, which is why it is so important to follow it and not be seduced away from it by other people’s opinions or over-analysis. When you realise that just about everything outside you has some sort of agenda, either conscious or unconscious, then you will start to look more into your inner self for guidance, and this is when you take the power back into your life.

In my Real Estate career I have seen hundreds of instances where – usually young couples – fall in love with a property and then bring along the parents or the “helpful friend” to promote their decision. It
other people squash your dreams, or influence you. Always, always follow your intuition, because it’s pure, it’s unbiased and it knows you better than anyone. This applies to all aspects of your life – your relationships, your friendships, your business dealings – the lot. If you don’t completely trust yourself you will become a puppet for everyone else’s motives and this is not where self-expression, freedom and happiness live. Back yourself, back your own judgement and you will find all of the above and more – and in the process become 100% authentic. by
