I am sure most of us have heard a little voice in our head telling us to do something at one time or another.
Some call that little voice instinct. Some choose to call it intuition.
But that voice is there. You cannot deny it. When you are doing something, that little voice will be there to tell you to go ahead or not to do it.
Sometimes, that little voice will be reminding you to do something. Other times, it will inform you of a decison that you are about to make. And there are like a super long list of things that little voice at the back of your head will tell you.
The question is, how often do you listen to this little voice in your head?voice,

lol =D Yeah, i choose to ignore it most of the time, and i often regret my decisions.. lol =D But when i finally listen to it, i got it horribly wrong too.. haha =D
I guess i cant rely on that little voice inside my head, and i have to depend on my own analysis to decide on things.. I just feel that the little voice is sort of interrupting my mindset and thinking to certain things..
That's why, i try to avoid listening to those little voices, as it only means i have more things to consider about.. lol =D

I never really pay attention to see if it is thru my ears or not.
But I know the voice is there.
And the uncanny part is, the voice is always there when you are about to make a very big decision.
Sort of like a thought that you hear when watching TV and the actor is thinking it without speaking it.

Yeah, that is so true. Listening to the little voice is something I try to tell myself to do all the time.
I do not have to agree with it or act upon the advise given by the little voice. But I do try to make the effort to listen to it.
It is more often right than wrong. So, no harm listening to it first before making any decision.

lol if I didnt know what you were saying I would think you had gone cookooo but I think I know what you are saying .It depends though on what the voice was saying.If I thoroughly thought out a situation and came to a decision and then the voice in my head was telling me differently ,I would ignore it .Not because it is in your head does it mean that it is right.Many serial killers have heard voices in their head about how they would be liberating their victims and it didnt always go well.So it depends sometimes you have to trust your intuition .Like if you are about to go out and its telling you not to go,maybe you should listen.

ha ha ha ha ha... I am definitely not referring to those voices that people with psychotic problem listen to.
This voice I am referring to are the voices of reasoning that we sometimes her when trying to make a decision.
We do not always agree with it. But the voice is always there.

I am very instinctual but I used to ignore how I felt and made lots of decisions based on logic. I have learned over the years that it is important to listen to that little voice and to trust how you feel about a situation because it is always right. If you ignore that little voice you do so at your peril because it is the voice of sense and the subconcious trying to guide you through life :)

I usually listen to that little voice. However, if I really want to do something, I'll do it even if it's saying NO STAY AWAY! Some things you just can't help. I've always come out on the crap end when I didn't listen though!

Yes, the voice in the head may not always be right. But out of 10 times, it is right almost 8 of the time.
I guess a good combination of both logic and feel that makes that voice in the head a good advice or not. And of course, a cool head to listen to both the voice and the logic of the situation.

I listen to it always, to be honest. There are a few times I didn't listen, and the results were not so great. It is usually right about not doing something, getting something done now, whether to trust or not trust a situation or person. I would bet that almost everyone hears it from time to time in their head, and makes that choice to follow or ignore the advice it is giving them. As a rule, if my little voice is telling me not to trust something, I don't trust it. It is almost always proven right.

Yeah, I so agree with you rantingqeen.
That voice has been there all the time. And we never really listen to it much.
We then to listen to our own logic more.
And more often than not, that is where we make mistakes. And when hindsight comes, we will always lament that we should have listened to the voice in the head.
It is good to actually sit down and listen to it more often. It is right most of the time.
