Well I’m sure we have all had that feeling that somethings going to happen, but what it is, don’t know. But do you listen?

More so now than any other time in my life!It is an awesome thing :))
I really really try to. It’s not always easy. 9 out of 10 times I do, and that one time I don’t I usually wind up regretting it.
They have yet to fail me.
When I stop and think things over I’ll usually go with what makes most sense. However, if I don’t think things over carefully I’ll usually go with my gut instinct which is usually wrong! Lol
Sometimes… I need to listen more :-/
You never really know it is the right thing to do or not, you guess
Absolutely… and often! Of course sometimes they’re wrong, but more often they’re right.
My first instinct is usually right or at least close enough to get the job done. If I stop and think about it or look back to reassess I generally come to the same or similar conclusion anyway so I’ve learned to trust it pretty well.
yep haven’t steered myself wrong yet
Absolutely do! It rarely leads me wrong. I may not be immediately able to put my finger on the problem, but I avoid most pitfalls.
I have to tune mine out lots of the time because my gut’s most consistent message to me is “Eat more chocolate.”
I trust my gut feeling most of the time, I and I cant say I havent lost to much on it..
that’s not for you to know.
My gut tells me I should answer this question and I always have gone by my gut but the really cool part is I have begun to really know before hand that something’s up and my gut radar is correct as opposed to knowing after the fact my gut was right.
@ETpro I have that problem also. :-)
When I do not listen to my gut I always regret it .
Our “gut” reactions are the product of our experiences and our growing understanding about how people and organizations work.
While we may not formally analyse our process at arriving at decisions, “gut” feelings don’t come from some mysterious source.
We may simply not be aware of the fact that we process past learning and current information to arrive at these intuitions or “gut” feelings.
I go with my gut feelings when it comes to my first impression of someone when I meet them for the first time. I’m usually always right about whether the person is likeable or can be trusted. Most of the rest of the time I don’t notice gut feelings at all.
Listen to your gut, but question it. Sometimes your instincts may be telling you something like “just run” but think it through. Always remember consequences.
yes. always – my gut insticnt has waken me up out of my.
I thought this question sounded familiar, so I went with the feeling and found two other questions that you might be interested.
Fact from fiction, truth from diction. Not all the time. in the past it has gotten me into a lot of hot water. Sometimes your gut can get you played out of a lot of money or put into dangerous situations. These days I try to rely more on the logic and facts and go with the gut as the last resort.
I wish I had trusted my gut instincts in the past when it comes to people. I also wish i trusted myself when it comes to situations that I handled badly. :-) usually your gut doesn’t lie. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
Always. I had to learn the hard way. I always lived to regret when I second guessed myself.
