This is one of the biggest questions people bring to a tarot or counselling session:
"How do I know if it’s my gut feeling... or just my mind playing tricks on me?"
Here’s what I’ve observed over the years:
Your gut feeling is calm and clear. Overthinking is noisy and anxious.
That inner nudge - the one that shows up without effort, that doesn't need convincing - that's your gut. It often feels like a quiet whisper or a knowing that lands before logic kicks in.
Overthinking, on the other hand, is layered with doubt, fear, replays, and 'what-ifs'.
I've seen clients walk in completely tangled in their own thoughts. And through a tarot session or a gentle counselling talk, they realise - the answer was always inside them. They just needed help hearing it again.
Sometimes even wearing a grounding crystal, doing a small ritual, or pausing for breath can make the difference between spiraling and sensing.
So the next time you’re stuck, ask yourself:
"Did this answer come from panic or peace?"
Your gut doesn't scream. It speaks - you just have to listen.
