In this video I chose some content from page 62 of my book, Go With Your Gut. It matters not what you decide but how you made the decision. Hmm, something to ponder…check out the video here. Trust your Gut. Trust your Soul’s guidance.
What are your thoughts, questions, opinions?
One of the big ways we block our dreams is by getting emotionally attached to an outcome or worse, having an agenda. This is important – watch the video to learn why.
How do you get all wrapped up in your agenda? How does this influence the outcome of your decision?
Let’s chat in the comments!
P.S. Get more answers in my book: Go With your Gut - or with directly with me in Gut Check Coaching.
Let’s illuminate what is right under our nose that frustrates our efforts to move forward in life.
Truth be told…we’re fully culpable and responsible for every thing we experience in our life. I know, that’s a harsh statement but it’s true and it’s very liberating.
Many of us don’t want to take full responsibility for what happens in our lives and if we really looked closely, we’d have to admit we’ve become very comfortable with telling white lies, bold lies, omitting, denying, feeling bitter, vindictive, disingenuous and sometimes down-right mean-spirited.
I’m not saying we can’t be nice or that we don’t possess good qualities but, I am saying that we make it very convenient to ignore our conscience and behave badly toward someone else.
Are you a happy person? If you can do or say anything to someone who would hurt, hinder, insult, or intimidate another person, then you’re not a happy person.
It’s just not possible to be a genuinely happy person and be mean to another.
Someone with a convenient conscience will tell a white lie because they don’t think it matters, but it does. How about the person who knowingly undermines or disparages another for their personal gain? That is convenient conscience as well.
To me, our conscience is directly linked with our Gut, our Soul and when we compromise that we’ve damaged our integrity.
It takes a strong person to resist the temptation to lie, cheat, steal or treat someone badly because they think they won’t get caught or they do it because they have more power or money than the other person.
Ultimately, a clear conscience and taking the high road is the only way to know inner peace and that is sadly highly underrated.
I think of it this way…someone with a clear conscience and integrity wouldn’t cheat at golf even if no one was watching.
The key is to watch yourself. If you’re confused about something ask your conscience.
I was thinking yesterday that if for every decision I made I could say, “Something tells me”, I would be making the best choices.
When we’re trusting our Gut we’ll often say to others, “Something tells me” and the interesting thing is when we say that or someone else says it to us – no one ever debates it or tries to talk us out of it.
How can you argue or debate when someone says that? Instead we just nod or say “Okay”. We instinctively give credibility to that “something”.
So consider making it a goal to act only on the “something tells me…” directives.
Remember, every decision, each choice has Gut guidance but we’re usually too busy planning and scheming to consider listening for it.
What do you think about this whole “something tells me” notion and the credibility we give it?
Did you know that by excavating the fears of your human experience you make more room for your Soul to express effortlessly?
Just as a musician gets lost in playing music, you too, can get lost in your own Soulful experience.
When you’re emanating anything from your Soul you’ll recognize it as the most blissful yet grounded feeling you’ve ever had.
I wish you a very Happy New Year filled with Soulful experiences.

Go With Your Gut
Too often we’re trying to control our world and we’re actually blocking opportunities and people from reaching us.
Be willing to let your life unfold for you rather than you having to think which next steps to take.
There is an inherent gift of grace that is given to anyone who is willing to go with their Gut.
See what I mean in the video:
Have you been in an uncomfortable situation where you willing to wait for the knowingness to come and give you the answer for what to do?
This video has a stick figure drawing that illustrates how our Ego, Heart and Gut work. I have used this stick figure for years now to break things down and bring a better understanding of the Go With your Gut process.
In every coaching session I do, a stick figure is drawn with information listed unique to the individual. People keep theirs for years as a reminder to go with their Gut.
Here’s the video:
Did the stick figure add clarity to the go with your gut process? Where do you find yourself operating most of the time? – head, ego, heart or gut?
P.S. If this was helpful, consider working with me in my “Gut Check Coaching” - we dive deep and many people has seen amazing results.
Okay, here’s a variation of “repetition for emphasis”. Increase your awareness of your Gut and what it’s guiding you to do or not to do, and just as important, when to do it and your life will unfold seamlessly. Become an observer in and of your life.
Today’s video is taken from page 28 of the Go With Your Gut book.
This process can be hard at times.
What do you do when your Gut gives you a “delay”? Are you able to wait? Do you take time and listen?
Are you attached to the outcome – or can you stay separate and wait for a “do” or “don’t”?
This is an important subject and as one of my coaching clients said, “repetition for emphasis”.
People ask me how they can know if it’s their Gut talking and I always say, “It’s going to be in a statement of a do, don’t or a delay.
The delay is a timing thing so just wait it out until you get a do or a don’t. Watch the video to learn about it.
Have you heard these directives recently? Share an example of a do, don’t or a delay that you received.
I know, that’s sounds weird but, it’s true and very liberating. Imagine always knowing what to do in any given situation. Well, you can and you actually do already, you just don’t hear it because you haven’t been taught how to listen for the guidance.
Today’s video blog gives you the truth about confusion and how we often use it as a crutch because we just don’t like our options when trying to make a decision. I use page 42 of my book Go With Your Gut as the lead for the video.
Questions:
Have you ever played the “I’m confused” card because you didn’t like your options with a certain decision? What works better for you?
