 Hey, Psych2goers, welcome back to our channel. Have you ever had a feeling in the pit of your stomach as if something was off? Something just didn't feel right. This is known as a gut feeling. Our gut feelings often relate back to our survival instincts and primal wisdom. But how can you tell if you're overthinking or if that strong feeling of yours is correct? Well, here are six signs that your gut feelings are correct. Number one, dreams. Do you often feel your dreams are trying to tell you something? Many psychologists analyze dreams. Sigmund Freud, the founder of Psychoanalysis, believed that unconscious thoughts and forces constructed a wish, which was then expressed or represented in a dream. Many believe there are symbols and hidden meanings from our subconscious minds in our dreams. So if you notice that strong intuitive feeling of yours is showing itself in your dreams, it's best not to ignore it. It may be that your subconscious mind is trying to tell you something important. Number two, you feel you need time to think. If you feel you need a moment to sit in silence and think through a strong feeling of yours, do so. When we feel overwhelmed with an intuitive feeling we can't shake, odds are our body is trying to tell us, this is real, trust me. Number three, you feel you're in danger. Our primal instincts are more often right than wrong. When you can't help but feel you're in danger, you should never ignore it. It's best to leave a situation that makes you feel this way and listen to your gut feeling. Number four, trust muscle memory. Are you quite skillful at a certain sport, hobby or art? When it comes time to perform your skill, it's often best to trust your muscle memory as opposed to overthinking. Trust your instinct. A study by the University of Chicago found that while novice golfers did better when they thought carefully about their putts, the performance of more experienced golfers got much worse when they reflected on what they were doing. So sometimes it's simply better to trust yourself. Number five, your body is trying to tell you something. Do you feel panicky? Are you short of breath? Has that feeling in the pit of your stomach moved on to a literal concerning feeling in your stomach? Like seriously, you may need to see a doctor for this pain. Well, when your body is physically telling you something isn't right, it is best to trust it. Our heart rate often increases when we sense danger. Our breathing can click in. There are ways in which our body responds to danger. So it's best to trust your mind and body. And number six, you have a clear desire and feel this is right. Do you have a passion you can't stop thinking about? A strong desire to follow a certain career or apply for a certain job? It's a good thing to follow what makes us happy and fulfilled. So if your body is clearly telling you this is what you want in life, despite what others say, listen to your passions. Listen to that gut feeling. Whether it's the quick beat of your heart or your unconscious mind telling you something, it's still you. So you're not just hearing from your gut, you're really just hearing from yourself. It's time to listen. Speaking of which, my tummy is rumbling for some cornbread cakes. Definitely, time to listen to this gut feeling. So what type of gut feelings do you often get?
