Recently someone asked, “Why is it so difficult to follow my gut?” No other information was provided with the question, and here’s what I answered.

Your “gut” is actually the wrong place to look for intuition, contrary to popular belief. Your gut will tell you things like, “I’m scared.” That’s good information, and important to know. But it’s not the same as intuition, or inner knowing, which is what I suspect you’re really asking about.
