Do I trust MY Instincts?

Yes I do trust my instincts. I have seen and felt things from as early as I can remember, like when I was a very young child a few years old.

I honestly believe all or most people can feel it, but we are trained or taught to ignore the feelings and follow the crowd. People do not realize that the crowd or collective is being trained to follow leaders who have no care for you as an individual or collectively.

I have way too many stories to list about times and situations when I knew to say no, walk away, leave immediately but had no concrete proof as to why, only to be told later that I missed something very bad happened after I left.

When I was younger, I thought that my sense of feeling things around me was a bad luck of sorts. I thought maybe it was following me. Now as an adult I realize I am just super perceptive to the air and shifts in it.

I’ve always been knowledgeable about body language reading people’s unconscious speech.

There are many times that people tell me that I need to do x,y, or z. My gut feeling screams NO!!!

I tell people No Thank You and then I move on.

I used to be asked why I do what I do and as a younger woman I may have said, I’m not sure why, I just know it’s no. Now I offer no explanation, but no and I move on if too many questions are asked.

Three Jobs I’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter:

The first one is naturopathic physician. I’d love to help people be healthy. I am a registered nurse. We do not have healthcare in the United States of America. We have what I consider to be sick care. Mediocre sick care at best. Very EXPENSIVE mediocre sick care. I believe in teaching people how to be healthy and maintain health and care for the ONE and only body they’ve been blessed to have. I do not like medical care which consist of covering symptoms with different drugs. This is NOT sustainable and in my humble opinion causes more health problems and issues.

The second job I would pursue if money didn’t matter is running a small nursery selling houseplants. I LOVE plants and have too many in my small home. I used to rescue plants, which replaced my rescuing cats and dogs who needed homes. I do not think I’m that great of a plant keeper, but I LOVE plants and love experimenting with different propagation methods. I’m currently working on propagating and replanting my scrawny fittonia plants.

The third job I would consider pursuing if money didn’t matter is a business helping find suitable home health caregivers for people who need anything from a part time respite care relief to full time caregivers in their homes. I have an innate ability to read people in person, psychology background and listen well and believe I could choose wonderful caregivers to help others not just people who are looking for an easy paycheck and little work. I’m also interested in helping new mom’s with organizing their homes, meals, aftercare after birth, those have been the hardest things for me, ESPECIALLY considering I was on bedrest with most of my kiddos at some point. I had difficult pregnancies with some preterm labor.

Those are the “three” jobs I would consider if money didn’t matter.
