Hello everybody, welcome back to the show, welcome back to the podcast. New listeners, old listeners, wherever you are in the world, it is so great to have you here back for another episode as we of course break down the psychology of our 20s. How many times have you heard the phrase, just trust your gut, go with your instinct, or when you know you just know?

When we hear those phrases in response to a situation where we really just need advice, we're feeling uncertain, it can make the situation feel even more confusing, especially if you are someone who is naturally anxious, because feelings of anxiety and a gut instinct often feel completely similar and are incredibly hard to differentiate.

Self-doubt, intuition, generalized anxiety, even excitement, they all feel the same. They all operate on the same axis. So how can we ensure that we are making the right choices, that we are choosing the right path, questioning the right things when we can't always tell what to focus on and what to ignore? Well today, that is exactly what we are talking about.

We are going to talk about how to distinguish between intuition and anxiety. And let me tell you, I think it is so important to have this conversation in our 20s because there are so many big life decisions to be made during this decade and so much insecurity and doubt in general. And if we let ourselves be led by fear, by Thinking that an emotion that powerful must be a sign. Fear must be a sign.

I don't think that we give ourselves the lives that we want. And fear in these situations or anxiety cannot be the master of our fate or the master of our destiny or whatever you want to call it. Knowing the difference between my gut instinct and my fear, it has been a process of trial and error for me. I used to be such a back and forth kind of person.

I would constantly need other people's input. I would take a leap of faith and then I would back down because I began to doubt my own instincts and But around three years ago, I think I experienced just this huge mental shift in general across all areas of my life. And around that time, I basically decided that for three months, I was just going to go with whatever thing I decided to do first.

So whether it was what restaurant to pick, what movie to watch, what person to date, I had to be decisive and I had to base it on my first thought and my first decision. And I definitely got things wrong during that period. But I think I came out of it with such a strong inner voice. And there have been so many times where I have really not trusted my inner voice and been disappointed.

And every single time I have been, it's almost been reaffirming to me when, like what that sounds like. When it's an instinct, when it's my intuition and it's so loudly calling me and I ignore it, it feels terrible. But it also just helps me, again, reinforce what that voice means to me and when to listen to it.
