Listen to Your “Uh-Oh”!

DIGEST THIS

by June Carver Drennon

Intuitive messages can come to us in many ways. Sometimes they are so subtle that we hardly notice and then other times they are so obvious that it’s hard to ignore. Interestingly enough, many of us still manage too ignore these messages because we haven’t been taught to listen when our “gut” is telling us to pay attention!

There is a child abuse awareness program taught in many schools that tells children to listen to their uh-oh feelings. The “uh-oh” feeling is a feeling you get when you know that something is just not right. It’s a warning signal that goes off in our brains and body. This technique is used with small children to help them listen to their instincts to know the difference between good touch and bad touch. It sounds so simple but if you think about it, the simplicity is what makes it so profound.

Our instincts are our best early warning system. Many times the answers are inside us. All we need to do is listen to our inner voice, our “gut” feeling and trust that feeling. Of course, sometimes we may make mistakes and that can be a lesson, a chance for growth. Experimentation and trial and error can, and should be, part of the process that may lead us in a direction we may not have considered, but ultimately ends up being a positive experience.

Sometimes we may simply experience misgivings. It is helpful to try to find the source of discomfort, then explore it. Is it a genuine cause for concern, or is it possibly just being uncomfortable with something unfamiliar or different? Many times we are too busy to take the time to consider our feelings and we suppress these feelings. Later, in hindsight, we may realize our inner voice was trying to tell us something, resulting in a missed opportunity. Try to become conscience of the importance of listening to your instincts and give yourself permission to listen and act on feelings instead of always relying on logic.

Occasionally we may get an intuitive feeling and we may not understand what it means. It can be frustrating when we are getting a message without a logical reason. The more we listen to our feelings and instincts the better we will begin to comprehend what they are trying to tell us. Learning to listen will enhance our ability to understand. Also, sometimes the answers may just come slower and unfold as circumstances evolve.

Trust yourself and value what you are feeling as well as what you are thinking. Recognize and be grateful for your sense of logic and judgment, but also learn to listen to your inner voice. Don’t let your thoughts and fears mask this voice. Trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. At least if you do make a mistake it will be your own and not the mistake of someone else.
