Lesson 2: Follow what you feel. (Yep…totally stole that lyric from The Colourists.)
We have gut feelings for a reason. I think we should follow them. In a situation that makes you feel anxious? Listen to it. With someone who makes you feel like you’re swooning? Listen to it.
I tend to take this to the extreme. If I’m feeling anxious about a situation, I withdraw and back out. But if I’m feeling good about what I’m doing or who I’m with, I dive in. Head first. I follow my heart and deal with the repercussions later.
So if you’re feeling excited about someone, go for it. If your senses are telling you to bow out, it’s ok to say no. All that matters is that you learn from it. There’s a lesson in every experience. You just have to be brave enough to listen.
