🌿 Instinct vs. Intuition ✨
What if your gut wasn’t just instinct — but wisdom?
We often confuse the two, yet they live on different levels of our being.
🌱 Instinct is primal.
It’s your brain taking shortcuts to keep you alive — fight, flight, freeze.
Perfect for the Paleolithic age, not always for modern life.
🌱 Intuition is deeper.
It’s the quiet wisdom built from experience, patterns, and deeper knowing.
Science even shows it lives not just in the brain, but in gut neurons, fascia, and tissues that “remember.”
The key is balance.
Instinct may pull you into fear.
But intuition gently guides you toward truth.
✨ How to Differentiate Them:
Instinct feels urgent, sharp, reactive.
Intuition feels calm, steady, expansive.
Instinct shouts “survive!”
Intuition whispers “align.”
🌌 Reflection Questions
When was the last time I followed instinct out of fear?
When have I trusted intuition — and found peace in the outcome?
How can I pause long enough to hear the quiet voice beneath the noise?
🌿 Everyday Practice
The next time you face a decision, try this:
Place your hand on your belly.
Take three deep breaths.
Ask: “Is this fear… or is this truth?”
Notice the difference.
Because life is not just about survival.
It’s about alignment.
And your intuition — when trusted — is the compass that leads you there.
