    Cultivating Self-Trust: Anxiety vs Intuition

    Your intuition is the inner voice that just knows, without having to reason consciously. It’s the gut feeling, the sense that you know what decision to make or when something (or someone) just doesn’t feel right. It’s not magic, but a product of your unconscious mind processing past information and experience. But sometimes anxiety can feel like a gut feeling, the fear that “something doesn’t feel right” or “I don’t want to do this thing because I’m afraid” can be easily confused for intuition. In this episode, I’ll be diving into how you can discern your intuition from anxiety so you can listen to your needs and make the best decisions you can in the moment.   In this episode, you will learn: The characteristics of anxiety-driven thoughts What exactly your intuition is and what you can use it for 5 practical tips to help you effectively discern between your anxiety and intuition   My 5 Minute Journaling Trick for Anxiety & Overwhelm: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/journal-for-anxiety/    Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/intuition   ——————— Calmly Coping is a self-improvement podcast for high achievers who struggle with high-functioning anxiety to help you feel more calm, balanced, and confident from within. ———————   📝 Take the Free High-Functioning Anxiety Quiz: http://hfaquiz.com   🎓 Learn more about The Calm & Ambitious Membership: https://www.calmandambitious.com/   🖊️ Join the waitlist for my 1:1 services: http://calmlycoping.com/waitlist   💬 Submit a message, question, or suggestion to the podcast: https://calmlycoping.com/message   ——————— Want more?   👩🏽‍💻 Work with me: My mission is to help you decrease your anxiety, declutter your mind, and say hello to a life of calm and balance.  Learn more about my coaching, therapy, and course offerings here: https://becalmwithtati.com/work-with-me   👥 Join the Calmly Coping Group: The free supportive community for high-achievers with high-functioning anxiety.
