Have you ever been indecisive about what to do in your life?  You have had to make a decision on what to do in your life, and one decision seemed logical in your brain, though you had a strange feeling that it simply wasn’t the right decision?

Our brain uses a combination of logic and emotions to make any kind of decision.  Sometimes we make a decision purely based on logic, and sometimes we make decisions based on our “gut feeling”.  

Going with your gut feeling can cause anxiety and uncertainty, as it does not guarantee a good outcome.  Despite all the hard facts being presented to us at times in our lives, sometimes people simply follow their instinct, their gut feeling, to make decisions. 

In this #UsingEnglishTP podcast episode, Jackie from Ask Jackie will talk to us about her experience going with her gut feeling.
