Gut Feeling: Tummy Ache


When’s the last time you followed your instinct despite not being sure it was the right thing to do? Did it end up being the right call?

The Daily Prompt.


I have a gut feeling about gut feeling.

If it’s right, it’s instinct.

If it’s wrong, you over-thought it.

I’d say, it’s more about doing the first thing that comes to mind—naturally.

And your gut, not mine, says that’s oh so wrong.

PS: Don’t do gut reactions on an upset stomach. Tummies lie too. And back them with data, if you can.
