Stop denying and start believing your gut.

Denial has an interesting and insidious side effect. For all the peace of mind, deniers think they get by saying it isn't so, the fall they take when victimized is far, far greater than that of those who accept possibility. Denial is a save-now-pay-later scheme, a contract written entirely in small print, for in the long run, the denying person knows the truth on some level, and it causes a constant low-grade anxiety. Millions of people suffer the anxiety, and denial keeps them from taking action that could reduce the risks (and the worry).

From Gavin de Becker's book, "The Gift of Fear"
One day, a bad feeling came out of the blue. Strikes you without warning. Something without warning bears on you mind. What will you do? I bet you're going to deny it and says "nothing bad is gonna happen, everything will be just fine". Yes, I do it too.

We, normally, tend to calm ourselves. Trying hard to ease away the heavy weight on our mind. While we actually knows for sure, that something bad is going to happen.

Well, sometimes we're just afraid of the fact that we know some badness is coming towards us. While if we just try to believe our own intuition, our own gut, we may reduce the big pain we're about to take. We'll be more prepared facing whatever it's about to come.

Putting a little trust, faith and belief in ourselves doesn't hurt. Start listening to your own gut, and this time, everything really gonna be OK.
