This Week’s Quick Tip
You know that “gut feeling” you get sometimes? That instinct that kicks in when you have to make a decision?
Well, I’ve got some advice for you: No matter what your gut’s telling you, whether good or bad… always listen to it.
Why? Because your gut has hundreds of millions of neurons that are directly connected to your brain. Meaning your gut is practically a second brain in itself (crazy, right?)!
So the next time something doesn’t feel right, but you just don’t know why? Or the next time you feel like you should go with your gut instinct?
Trust what it’s telling you and follow those instincts. After all, your brain (and your second brain) know what’s best for you!
Here’s your challenge for this week: Spend a few minutes this week paying closer attention to what your body’s telling you to do (or what not to do). Really lean into those gut instincts and trust yourself. Then, when it makes sense, make a small decision based off gut instinct alone.
This Week’s Find The Good Story
This week’s find the good story is from Noah. Hope it inspires you as much as it inspires us!
“I find the good in everything I try. When I was six, my parents got divorced, and it was pretty tough. We still saw our father but not a whole lot.
Fast forward a year, we stopped seeing him as much since he was very irresponsible and was always doing the wrong things. After that, I found the good in smaller things. My mom is a single parent and is the hardest working person I know. She makes sure we have everything we need, and I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me.
I don’t even know how she does it, but my mom really helps me see the good in all the things around me, like all the opportunities and gifts I’ve been given in life.”
