Trust Your Gut Instincts If You’re Serious About Growing Your Business and Life!

Do you know your way to attracting all kinds of good fortune into your life? No, it’s really not about your marketing, although good marketing is important. It absolutely has something to do with your mindset, although that’s not the full answer either. What’s MORE powerful than marketing and mindset? Your instincts. Are your trusting yours?

It’s important that you do because your gut instincts are always giving you directions regarding your next steps. In fact, if you hit the pause button right now and got really still within yourself and asked to be guided to your next steps you would get an answer. I’m sure of it.

But sometimes I know it feels like you’re not getting nudges, answers, information or any other form of divine intelligence that shows you the way. Why does this happen and what can you do?

Here’s a look at gut instincts and tips for hearing yours.

Gut Instincts: What are they?

I think of gut instincts as your intuition and how you sense yours is unique to you. Some of us feel things, others know things. Some of you may even see or hear things. However your instincts “speak” to you is perfect for you!

The key to remember is your intuition or gut speaks to you through your body. Your intuition is something you feel inside yourself. It may come as a voice that feels like it’s whispering in your ear, or it may even be similar to a thought you’re thinking but with one distinct difference: that thought is often quick, simple and rather quiet. In other words, your intuition does not make your mind race.

I access my intuition through my body and it rises through me as a “knowing”. Other times I may hear things and know immediately it’s my gut speaking to me.

How do you access your gut instincts?

A great way is to ask questions! For example, if you’re curious about the next step you could take in your business all you have to do is ask for the next steps to be revealed to you!

Once you ask your job is to listen or feel for the answer. That means you’ve got to get quiet.

Your gut speaks to you in whispers so you’ve got to pay attention! If you’re busy running around, always doing, doing, doing, you’re going to have a hard time picking up on what your instincts are trying to tell you.

So, take a time out, get quiet within yourself and listen. You can also journal, if that helps.

Then what?

So, you asked the question and now you’re ready to hear and receive an answer. But are you?

Often times when we ask for guidance we don’t hear the message right away. I personally don’t think this is because it isn’t given, I think it’s because we’re not able to hear it or we’re not trusting what we hear.

In a perfect situation (and I know that’s a stretch) you would ask your question, get quiet and listen and receive your answer. If that actually occurs your next step would be to take action on what your gut is nudging you to do!

And that’s where it gets challenging!

Here’s why:

Your gut instincts/intuition is your direct link to divine intelligence/The Universe/God…

And because of that this information you’re receiving is always…ALWAYS…for your highest good.

But that doesn’t mean it’s going to be EASY and that is why it is so often hard for us to hear our gut instincts because we know when we hear what our gut’s been trying to tell us we’re going to have to make some changes…and that’s something many of us don’t want to do.

This works in many different ways. Here are a few examples to help you understand what I’m saying.

• You want to grow your business so you ask your intuition for your next steps and the answer is “get your food under control”. (This really happened to a good friend of mine!)

• You declare you’re ready to thrive and ask to be shown what steps support that and immediately get a nudge to hire a new coach, even though you have no idea how you’re going to afford it.

• You want to land a big account and keep asking for the way to be revealed to you and you keep hearing you need to leave your spouse.

OK, I know these are all very dramatic examples but they illustrate why it can be so hard to listen to and trust your instincts! After all, what does getting food under control have to do with growing your business?

You see, logically these answers may not make sense, but on a much deeper level they make perfect sense. But in order to see why they make so much sense you’ve got to be willing to take action on them and this is hard for a lot of us.

(BTW, my friend who got the nudge to get his food under control listened, lost 97 pounds and is now thriving in his business! Magical, don’t you think?)

The road to abundance:

Why listen to your instincts? Because they are always pointing you toward your highest good and away from things that no longer serve you. Your instincts will lead the way to more life, more abundance, more fun, more happiness.

But here’s the thing: it’s not always easy to listen to and trust your own instincts so be sure to surround yourself with people that will acknowledge your wisdom for being sound, or provide a sounding board for you to sort through the information you’re receiving.

Trusting your own instincts is the ultimate way for you to take personal responsibility for your success.
