If there\u2019s a flash, we blink. If we\u2019re startled, we jump. If something is hot, we drop it.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we can control our instincts to a certain degree \u2013 but isn\u2019t it interesting how we\u2019ve developed systems that are meant for immediate protection, often before thoughts even reach the brain?<\/p>\n<p>Intuition is a similar phenomenon \u2013 it\u2019s having a sense of a situation before there\u2019s any concrete reason to believe, bypassing conscious reasoning. And often it\u2019s intuition that separates a good life from a great one.<\/p>\n<p>Your body has a way of speaking to you. Before a disc slips out of place, a person may notice their back becomes tired more easily, their body isn\u2019t moving as it once did, things don\u2019t feel right. But time passes, things go untreated and then \u2013 \u201c<em>Ow!<\/em>\u201d \u2013 the pain comes. In many cases hindsight will bring 20\/20 vision. If only you\u2019d listened to that little voice saying things weren\u2019t right. If only you\u2019d trusted your body\u2019s intuition.<\/p>\n<p>The body speaks aloud and we need to listen. If you start feeling fatigued, depressed, bored, agitated \u2013 please, <em>please <\/em>keep in mind that this isn\u2019t how you should be. Too many people accept the body\u2019s messages\u00a0 instead of acting on them. They live with the pain instead of being activated to correct the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Swallowing an allergy pill or an Aspirin will help stop immediate symptoms. But there\u2019s more going on, much deeper and beyond the obvious, that needs to be addressed. Maybe your home has developed mold? Maybe you\u2019ve been overworked and need to take a break? Maybe your body is lacking vital nutrients?<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention to your body\u2019s messages. Even if the words \u201csick as a dog\u201d aren\u2019t spelled across your forehead, your body will communicate when things are good and when they\u2019re going bad. You\u2019ll hear its voice by the way you feel.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to listen. When you feel good, figure out why. How can that feeling continue? When you feel bad, figure out why again. If you cannot understand the problem, visit someone who can help explain. That\u2019s what we doctors are here for, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Message for today: use your physical intuition and listen to what your body is saying.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? How does your body communicate with you? Do you have any stories where your intuition helped stop a problem before it became worse? We\u2019d love to hear from you, so please share your comments.<\/p>\n<p>Until next week!<\/p>\n<p>Take Care<\/p>\n<p>Dr Marcelle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK ABOVE TITLE TO READ MORE.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-270\" title=\"Back Ache\" src=\"https:\/\/awakeningpotentials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Back-Ache-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Back Ache\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Our body acts on instinct.
