Do you ever get a feeling or emotion deep in your gut and you can’t explain it? It’s hard to say why we get gut feelings, but many people think that it is a good rule of thumb to follow them.
However, sometimes following these feelings can be dangerous. You should always look at the risk before making a rash decision. After thinking about it, if you feel passionate enough, go for it!
Kellie wants to know how Brian feels about intuition. Find out what he says in today’s lesson about instincts.

Kellie: Hey, Brian? Do you ever have a feeling in your gut tell you to do something?
Brian: Oh, all the time.
Kellie: Oh, really?
Brian: Like, intuition?
Kellie: Yeah!
Brian: Oh, yeah.
Kellie: I don’t get that very often, so I just was curious what you think about that.
Brian: I read a book about gut feelings and trusting your instincts. And it was based off of a lot of studies….
Kellie: Oh!
Brian: …and ever since I read that, it seemed like it was saying you should trust your gut, and I’ve done that from here on out. In Las Vegas I wanted to play one game, a gambling game, and I played one when I felt really good about it, And I won a thousand dollars off of a gut feeling!
Kellie: Wow, that’s crazy.
Brian: Yeah.
Kellie: Recently I had this gut feeling about something, and I just wonder if I should follow that. I don’t want to make a rash decision.
Brian: Well, you have to let your heart and your head be your guide. And if you feel really passionate about this gut decision, I would say go for it. If the risk is worth the reward, that’s my rule of thumb.
Kellie: Well, I think I’m going to go for it.
Brian: Sounds good.

Brian says he follows his intuition most of the time. He read a book about how it’s good to trust one’s instincts. He even won a bunch of money in Las Vegas because he thought the risk of gambling was worth the reward.
Kellie does not feel like she has very good intuition. She had a gut feeling about something recently, but didn’t know whether or not she should follow it. She was scared of making a rash decision, but Brian convinced her to go for it.
Do you have good intuition? When was the last time you had a gut feeling?
