Ask yourself, what am I missing about this situation?
What is my gut perceiving that my brain in my head has not yet understood?
Let me give you two examples.
Great.
So suppose you're a leader in your group and someone's presenting a new proposal.
And that proposal sounds great on paper and everyone in the room, they're nodding along.
They like it.
You suddenly get this tightening in your gut.
Popular culture would say, oh, that's a gut feeling.
It's a bad gut feeling.
There's something off about this proposal.
Yes.
You should reject it.
And maybe the proposal is horrible.
I'm not sure.
But
I think it would be premature to say that.
What you should wonder and consider is what if you're getting a gut feeling that's responding not to some inherent risk, but to novelty?
What if this proposal is challenging your way of thinking in a way you've never done before?
Maybe that's a wonderful thing.
