Do you trust yourself?

October 8, 2013 by Paddy Spruce

Strange question. Who is the ‘I’ in this question. It seem that we have at least two people in there. One conscious and one sub conscious. Do you ever feel that you don’t trust someone but don’t know why? The conscious you has no reason to not trust this person, having just met them. The conscious you might need some time. The subconscious is lightning fast and doesn’t need time. So do you trust yourself? The two ‘yous’ need to work together. Trust the subconscious when it offers a warning. Ignore it at your peril. Say ‘thanks for the warning’ and then get more information. Tread carefully. Same if you like or trust someone instantly. “Thanks for the help”. Tread carefully. Advertising and marketing is becoming more  sophisticated  and understands how the subconscious works. So…. trust yourself . Listen to both the subconscious which sometimes speaks in feelings. “I feel uncomfortable but don’t know why”. Take this as a warning and get more information to bring your conscious brain into the picture. You have both abilities. Use them both. Trust yourself. It’s all you.
