Do you trust your instinct?

Instinct is a complex, unlearned, adaptive response to some situations or experience. There's a varied complex explanation of the word "instinct" so, I would likely want to talk about a more specific discussion of our "inner instinct" or gut feeling. Because, I believe that we are guided by spirit not just by our rationality and animal instinct. Sometimes, I do rely and trust on my inner instinct. Especially when I am in doubts or when I feel so uneasy. I go with my inner instinct. Oftentimes my instinct was right! How about you, do you believe that you have an inner instinct? If you do, how often you rely on it in making decisions? Does it end up right or wrong?

I do! ANd when i don't i suffer. Well it is not a belief. My intutions ring a bell before an incident/event happen and when i ignore it i obviously curse myself for have not noticed it. I think i mind alsways tells gives an intution and it us who accept or ignore it. Most of the decisions i take are based on my intutions and instincts. So i believe in both and it has worked for me :)

I really depend on my instincts. Most of the time I think it gets me right results also. Though it has failed me in quite a few occasions. But that does not stop me from following it. And I feel more you trust on it, better it gets.

It's great that you listen your instinct and somehow helps you in making the right decisions. It's a matter experience and learning what your instinct tells you to do. It's only in making mistakes we've learned. So don't blame yourself too much, If you ignore your instinct. Have a great day!

instinct is something that comes to u when u have already analysed the situation well in ur mind...it is not something that is metaphysical...its purely the respose of ur calculative brain which has been well worked off....i mostly follow my instincts because it helps me, it may not be the same case wid others because u have to develop this by having a better logical thinking process...and as the mind and body coordinations gets better ur inner instincts get better...and yeild positive results!:)

Well, you have your own thoughts and views on the matter. Since our experience differ from each from us. I have also some friends who look inner instinct in a logical way. I respect with them, same as yours. Though there are things that's not been calculated nor recorded. It just happened and cannot be explained. That in order to find the answer and solution you have to take a look the other side of the ground.
