Takeaway

To sum up, time and practice can sharpen your intuition and gut feelings. So give yourself the consideration you deserve. Listening to your feelings and bodily signals can help you practice listening to what your gut tells you and knowing when to trust it.

When you struggle to recognize gut feelings or have difficulty separating them from apprehensive thoughts, a therapist can also be a great resource to help you develop the ability to tell them apart.

Writing in a journal will also help you understand your thought better. We recommend THIS one from Amazon.
