E874 Has God Done This to You Too? Listening to Your Gut

Tactical Living

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, we share a deeply personal story that can only be described as divine intervention. When Ashlie was experiencing a heavy heart, she felt an overwhelming prompting to stop somewhere, which led her to an unexpected encounter with friends performing worship music. This moment not only lifted her spirits but also reinforced the importance of listening to our gut instincts—or a higher power—when we feel prompted. We’ll dive into the science behind why these feelings often steer us in the right direction, especially for first responders, whose intuition can be a critical guide in both their personal and professional lives.

The Power of Gut Instincts:

Our gut instincts are often rooted in subconscious experiences and knowledge. We’ll explore how these internal cues are formed by years of experience and can lead us to make decisions that feel right, even when we can’t explain them rationally.

Five Scientific Reasons Why Listening to Your Gut (Amazon Affiliate) Is Often the Right Call:

Intuition is Based on Experience:

For first responders, your gut instincts often come from years of training and experience. Your brain picks up subtle cues from situations that help you make decisions quickly, even if you don’t consciously recognize them.

Your Brain Processes Information Faster Than You Realize:

The brain is constantly processing information, even when you’re not aware of it. This rapid processing helps you make snap judgments, which often feel like gut reactions. These judgments can be life-saving in high-stress situations.

Your Body’s Stress Response:

Stress hormones like adrenaline can heighten your awareness, making you more attuned to your surroundings. This heightened state can lead to a clearer sense of what action to take, making gut instincts stronger and more accurate in moments of pressure.

Connection to a Higher Power or Purpose:

Many believe that when we are in tune with our higher power, we are more open to receiving guidance. For those with spiritual beliefs, trusting your gut can feel like following a divine prompt. We’ll discuss how faith can provide clarity and peace in moments of uncertainty.

Gut Feelings Activate Your Emotional Brain:

Gut reactions are tied to the emotional centers of the brain, like the amygdala, which processes fear and survival instincts. This connection means that your gut can be especially accurate when navigating dangerous or high-stress environments, as your body and brain are primed to protect you.

Why First Responders Need to Trust Their Instincts:

In high-pressure situations, there isn’t always time to logically analyze every decision. We’ll explore why it’s essential for first responders to trust their instincts when quick decisions can be a matter of life and death.

Finding Balance Between Intuition and Logic:

While gut instincts are powerful, it’s important to know when to balance intuition with logical thinking. We’ll discuss how to discern when your gut is guiding you correctly and when it’s necessary to take a step back and evaluate the situation more thoroughly.

Following Your Gut in Personal Life:

Beyond the professional realm, learning to trust your gut in your personal life—like Ashlie’s story of divine intervention—can lead to moments of profound connection and guidance. We’ll explore how to cultivate a stronger relationship with your instincts and higher power in everyday life.
