Why your intuition is key to improving physical and emotional health

Why your intuition is key to improving physical and emotional health

In accommodation, we are trained to follow our intuition. In pediatrics, this means learning how to identify a sick child. Of course, we learn what to look for in physical examinations, laboratories, and protocols, but we also learn to listen to our instincts. When our intuition tells us that we have a sick child, we don't think much; we start working. As a pediatrician in busy offices, we often rely on the mother's intuition. When the mother tells us that her child is "out," we listen.

But what's up? 

This intuition is not thought and analysis. It's the kind of deeper "knowledge" that comes from elsewhere. I never thought about what it was until recently. 

As a society, we are very rational. Analysis and reflection Our minds are seen as the leaders and the managers, and the rest of the body is just a kind of "there." Physicians and scientists tend to focus on facts, analysis, randomized controlled studies, and evidence-based medicine. All these things are amazing and very valuable, but we lack important information when we rely exclusively on the brain. 

There is growing research on complex neurotransmitters in the heart and intestinal areas. The increased nutrition of the brain from these neural networks explains the sensation of intestinal instinct. Research suggests that the gut and heart actually contribute to processes such as decision-making.

But are we listening? 

For the most part, I would say the answer is "no." We tend to discard our inner knowledge and do what our brain tells us to do. How can we tune in and see if our minds are leading the show without input? Check with yourself. You may want to listen more deeply if you feel dissatisfied, anxious, stressed, or have a general feeling of distress or stress. 

Emotions and feelings are information and reactions in your mind. I consider their symptoms. You cannot make a treatment plan for the underlying feeling of incapacity until you know why. Treating a patient’s fever without simultaneously exploring and identifying underlying causes can lead to catastrophic clinical outcomes. The same can be said for our physical and emotional health and well-being when we ignore messages from our bodies. 

But it’s conditional. We all know the symptoms. It’s a knot in the stomach or in the chest. It is a boring headache after a long day, a feeling of admiration, exhaustion, or exhaustion. We deal with these gnawing symptoms through things like food, beverages, and social media. We are trained to ignore, bypass, or anesthetize these entrances. When we do, we create chronic stress in our body with all the hormonal sequences that can harm our health when they are not controlled.

Here’s how I see the balance of the brain, heart, and intestines and how you can harness them to develop your inner wisdom. The heart is a compass in you. It knows what you want. Like the expression "the desire of your heart," it can help you define GPS, purpose, and "why." No matter how many lists of pros and cons you make, your rational mind doesn’t really know what you want. Once your heart determines your destination, the mind can work to reach you. She will use her expertise to plan, try, and repeat. one step at a time. When you make the wrong decision and deviate from the predetermined path, your instinct will provide you with information (if you are wise enough to listen) and get you back on track. 

So why do we feel dissatisfied? We lean so hard and just listen to our minds. The brain is just a piece of a brilliantly coordinated system. Put your beautiful mind at the service of your heart’s desires, and let your instinct keep you on the right track. You just know what’s good for you; the answer is in your heart, not in your head. 

So be calm, leave your thoughts behind, and listen to your heart and instinct. Your physical and emotional health and well-being will thank you.
