Episode 185: Listen to Your Energy: Trusting Intuition Over Logic in Decision-Making
Manage episode 411218220 series 2807882
Ever felt like doing something ‘crazy’? Something that ‘doesn’t make sense’ or is ‘bad on paper’?
Often when we feel like that the energy that’s driving the decision can be just too hard to ignore, and impossible to logic our way out of.
And as introverts, learning to trust ourselves when making big changes is vital.
This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m sharing some different ways our energy guides us in life, and also how we can avoid getting ‘led astray’ by shoulds and other people’s opinions.
And I’m also sharing a big decision I’ve made recently about this podcast - tune in to learn what, and hear me share the process of listening to my energy and my thoughts, then deciding which one to follow!
