Where there warning signs?
Think back to an incident when things went wrong. You probably solved the issue and moved on. That is what we’re told to do – let go and move on – right?
But that is not the end of the story. It’s just as important to figure out why the problem happened in the first place. There are always warning signs but they are often masterfully hidden. Sometimes we choose not to see them, however, because doing so would force us to react outside our comfort zone and could lead to a confrontation. So we postpone dealing with the problem until it is (we hope) blissfully forgotten.
But the warning signs are important and we have to take them seriously. If we don’t, we are likely to repeat the same mistake all over again. Recognizing the warning signs and acting on them will give you control.
A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

But not all signs are warning signs. How do we know which ones to take seriously? Our instinct – our gut feeling – will tell us what might go wrong and will show us how to react without creating more problems.
If you’re having trouble hearing your gut feeling, try meditation. It will speak to you loud and clear. You can find more about meditation here.
Are you in the middle of a problem? Listen to the warning signs, act now and prevent a hurtful confrontation.
