Instincts

The very essence of instinct is that it’s followed independently of reason.
— Charles Darwin

Instincts are our innate knee jerk reaction to a situation without any deliberation on contemplation. It can be described as something as simple as reaching out for food from the kitchen. Or it can be called to be more of an animalistic response to a threatening or dangerous situation. The flee or fight reaction.Now coming to the prompt for today. Do I trust my instincts?

Yes, yes and a definite yes. I trust both my instincts and intuitions though they are coming from two different places. Sometimes my instincts have helped me tremendously. Other times, if I was dumb enough to ignore my instincts, I have suffered. In turn my intuition has very rarely failed me in most situations. So I combine my instincts and intuition to tackle the challenging situations that life often tends to throw my way.
