Trusting My Intuition

This morning when we left for work it was -3 degrees. Doc has me so bundled up in a coat and scarves I can barely move. She didn’t even contemplate staying home to work, because well, that’s just Doc, in her mind, you get up and go to work, no matter what. I told her it was so cold that it’s snowing in New Orleans and all she said was ‘ what does that have to do with us?” So off went.

We were the first one’s here at 6am, so it was quiet. After getting situated in the office, she got the coffee ready for our 9am Stress Management group and made sure the room was warm for the patients. .We both worry about some of our patient’s that struggle during this cold snap and want to make sure they have a warm and welcoming place to come to.

Today in group, we are going to finish talking about the intuitive part of the brain. Yup, you don’t need to hire a psychic to tell you what to do, you have that ability right inside several regions of your brain if you just pay attention. Since we are wired to recognize patterns, as we learn to pay more attention to those “gut feelings,” listening to our intuition can help us to make better decisions and keep us safe.

Knowing all of that, I was surprised when I told Doc that my intuition was telling me that we need to go home and get under some blankets on the couch and she said “no, nice try, now get back to work.”
