There are days when things don’t work out the way they should. Like perhaps, the coffee or toast was burnt or it’s a cloudy gloomy day. Someone you communicate with doesn’t reciprocate the way you hope for. Or even just some unlucky event happened and you are just not getting what you want.
You will be in a state of longing and will be more likely to rush for something. You need to be reassured, you want to be validated. You want to be right for that moment. And when you try to fill that gap with your instincts, you are at a high risk of coming up short.
Instincts are important when you are in a dangerous place. Like if you are in a wild jungle and you hear strange noises. Or you are driving a car at high speed and you see an unexpected crossing. In those cases your instincts will tend to do the right thing based on your accumulated experience. It’s when you try to make a non life death immediate decision that this doesn’t have as much reliability.
Things happen that we don’t want a lot of the time. It’s good to be able to take a breather and accept things the way they are. Take a rain check if you need to. Don’t rush into the next thing to try to make things work. Unless it’s a purely mechanical task, you are heading to highly risky wrong instinct territory.
