Hello there, cerebral brain!\u00a0 It’s me, your abdominal brain.\u00a0 There are some important situations in life when we can work together.\u00a0 \u00a0Actually, we work together daily.<\/p>\n

I send you information all the time.\u00a0 I want you to know what happens in the abdomen where I live and work.<\/p>\n

When I send red flags bubbling up, I hope you listen.<\/p>\n

Example 1:<\/p>\n

You are looking for a new job and may have an offer.<\/p>\n

In this process, you sometimes when you need need more information.<\/p>\n

You don’t have a job offer until you know the day you are expected to report to work, where you are expected to be on the start of your first work day, the name of the person you are to report to, and the amount of money you will be paid.<\/p>\n

Can’t decide whether the job offer is for you?\u00a0 List all the positives about the job.\u00a0 Next, follow that list with a list of all the negatives.\u00a0 If the positives outweigh the negatives, you can begin to feel good about your offer.<\/p>\n

If you don’t…think about what your abdominal brain is trying to tell you.\u00a0 Maybe, for the moment, you need to override your abdominal brain and use your head for a while.\u00a0 Or, maybe you need to listen to your abdominal brain and learn from its wisdom.<\/p>\n

Example 2:<\/p>\n

When you can’t eat or sleep, your abdominal brain is talking to you.\u00a0 \u00a0Something isn’t sitting right for you.<\/p>\n

You may have a stomach bug.<\/p>\n

Or, you may also be hearing from your\u00a0 abdominal brain.\u00a0 What situation is causing physical stress?\u00a0 Is your abdominal brain working with your intuition to tell you\u00a0 it’s time to\u00a0 \u00a0deal with it.<\/p>\n

What decision-making skills do you need to reduce this stress and\u00a0 live a more comfortable life?\u00a0 Your pros-and-cons list can help here.\u00a0 You can also listen to your inner self which tells you what you need to know.<\/p>\n

While you decide what to do, spend some time reducing your stress.\u00a0 As you\u00a0 lower your stress level, you may find yourself in a place where it’s easier to\u00a0 listen to your inner voice and your abdominal brain wisdom.<\/p>\n

When this happens, you make way for a path to appear for you.<\/p>\n

Example 3:<\/p>\n

You encounter a situation or someone who is suffering.<\/p>\n

Your abdominal brain appeals to you to help others.\u00a0 But, then, your cerebral brain or your friends and coworkers try to talk you out of it.<\/p>\n

You experience objections:\u00a0 “I’m in a rush.” “This may be a scam.” “If I give this person money for food, she may just buy drugs with it.”<\/p>\n

Think, for a moment, about a time when you were in need.\u00a0 How lonely was your situation?\u00a0 If someone stepped in to help, did your view of the world change?<\/p>\n

This might be a time to pay your gratitude forward.<\/p>\n

Example 4:<\/p>\n

You are in a situation where a person is talking to you and suddenly your gut does flip flops or you get negative chills or you feel trapped.<\/p>\n

This is not a time to dismiss your abdominal brain message.\u00a0 You are in a situation which is not good for you and your body knows it.\u00a0 \u00a0This is a time to follow your gut.<\/p>\n

Physically, remove yourself from the premises.<\/p>\n

At a party or other group gathering?\u00a0 \u00a0Leave.\u00a0 Now.<\/p>\n

Getting ready to get on an elevator?\u00a0 Back off.\u00a0 Don’t get on the elevator.\u00a0 Go somewhere else instead.<\/p>\n

Walking down a hallway and suddenly realize you are alone in a dark, public place?\u00a0 Get out of there immediately.\u00a0\u00a0Find people.\u00a0 Find lights.<\/p>\n

In all of the above situations, you must make a stand for what your gut\u00a0\u00a0knows.\u00a0 It’s okay.\u00a0 This is one of the things your body is built to do.<\/p>\n
