is it anxiety or intuition?

You've got a big decision to make. But, before you rush to answer from an emotional reaction, notice how a yes vs a no feels in your body.

We often confuse anxiety with our intuition. Here is how to find out whether anxiety or intuition is leading your decision-making.

Firstly, what’s the difference?

Intuition is a deep inner knowing. it focuses on the present and tends to feel neutral, calm, and reasonable.

Anxiety focuses on the past or future. it's a reaction to a perceived threat and carries a nervousness which manifests as physical symptoms.

So, back to your decision.

Ask yourself these questions to decide if it’s a yes or a no.

Does this opportunity align with my long-term goals, values and interests?

Does the thought of it excite me or fill me with dread?

Does the fear of missing out outweigh the fear of diving in?
