Rule# 9
Listen to myself more!
I have always had a knack for listening to others, trying to look into their words as an outsider. I too always need another's opinion wether it be just a little reassuring remark that yes my outfit (that I would be wearing out regardless of what was said anyway) did look alright and no "you don't look fat in it". I think everyone will agree with me that it is human nature, we need someone behind us supporting our decisions to feel better about our choices. Sometimes I need to reevaluate my way of thinking and get an outside opinion, I ask "am I being ridiculous? Would you react this way? I am just taking it too seriously?" often enough I am just taking it too seriously and reading too deep into things. what can I say I am an overthinker! better than being and under I guess.
So my new rule comes into play in the sense of when I have a gut feeling, follow it. So far it's been 100%! Not in the sense of needing other opinions and help for things because sometimes we don't get a clear cut feeling. I am going to start listening to my initial feelings instead of trying to push things because they should be a good thing even if I don't understand why they aren't. If you don't feel it, you don't feel it!
