Give yourself permission to hesitate, retreat or go for it

sketch by Taryn VarnesYou don't have to know why. Just follow your first gut instinct. It's usually your best bet. Even if it drives your hesitation, perception, concern or intrigue unconsciously, it knows you.

I couldn't help but stop on this quote just now, that I've seen before: 

Give yourself permission to immediately walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes. There is no need to explain or make sense of it. Just trust the little inner voice when it talks to you. 

~Sonia Choquette

Yes, exactly. There need not be any guilt or need for explanation. Along these same lines is the current audio book I'm listening to: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, which goes into this concept in great detail. The thing is... I don't need to hear the cutting edge neuroscientific detail. I already believe. I already get it.

The spirit of your feeling or thought—call it psychic if you want—is simplistic in nature. It knows in the blink of a eye.
