Monday Obsession: Intuition

We all have it. It's that inner voice that tells us what to do. Sometimes we ignore it and sometimes we listen to it, but most of the time, that little voice a.k.a your intuition is right.

This morning I missed my normal train because I couldn't decide what to wear... sort of. You see, I have what I call a style intuition; I take a look at my closet the night before and then I instantly know what I should wear. However, when the next morning comes, I go against my style intuition and put something else on--only to realize that I don't like it. And guess what I end up wearing? The original outfit I mocked up in my head! So when I start rushing to my destination, I'm constantly saying, "You need to trust your intuition. YOU NEED TO TRUST YOUR INTUITION!"

Sadly, this isn't the first I've ignored my intuition (style or not). For a while I battled with a strong issue of self-doubt, but I guess most of us have at one point, right? It's taken me years to trust that inner voice of mine and although I think I've come a long way from the prepubescent girl who never trusted her own judgement, I still battle with self-doubt every now and then, i.e today. Anyone the same?

P.S. The suggestions on yesterday's post as to what I should do about my little visitors were funny and helpful! I'm not sure what I want to do, but I'd like to kill them. However, these spiders scare me. I can usually kill spiders because during the last school year, my roommate would not kill the creepy crawlies in our room and I was not about to go to bed with a spider or whatever going for a joy crawl in our room, so I had to MAN up. Hmm. Well. I go back to school in about two weeks so I won't have to see them for another 3 months. Let's hope by then their long gone.

  1. I have the same exact problem. I pick out an outfit the night before and in the morning I never feel like wearing it. It's so frustrating! Glad I'm not alone!

  3. I so understand what you mean, as I am almost like that as well. I can be really indecisive, but guess what, we almost never learn. We are getting better as we grow, as least I'm telling myself that xxxxxx

  4. I try to pick out my outfit the night before too. And I agree ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR FIRST ANSWER or Intuiton. It's correct 99% of the time

  5. Thats such a good looking outfit. I am so indecisive of what I wear its ridiculous, sometimes I'll put an outfit together and think it looks cool and trendy but then I'll be afraid to wear it in public and end up returning a lot of clothes because of that. I really need to work on my confidence.

    and hope you figure out your spider problem.

  6. i do the same thing! i always second guess my intuition and waste so much time in the morning only to go back to my original idea. or worse, i wear something else & hate it all day long.

  7. Little voice inside head...nope, I kick that to the curb when it started telling me to be nice!

    Kidding...almost...

    Maybe you should just always wake up late, then you won't have time to second guess yourself. I'm a genius, score a billion for me. YOU LOOK CUTE! Deal with that little voice, and then there will be no doubt...ha!
