Trusting Your Gut: Boosting Intuition in Recovery with Dr. Adina Silvestri

Steve Jobs said: don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice and, most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Ever felt like your gut was trying to tell you something, but you just couldn't figure out what? In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Dr. Adina Silvestri dives into the fascinating world of intuition and how it plays a crucial role in the recovery process. She kicks things off by explaining what intuition really is – that inner voice or gut feeling that guides us without the need for logical reasoning.
But here's the catch: many of us have lost touch with this inner guide, often due to growing up in environments that didn't validate our feelings. So, how do we get it back? Dr. Silvestri offers five practical strategies to help you reconnect with your intuition. First up is mindfulness. By staying present and aware of your thoughts and emotions, you can start to hear that inner voice more clearly.
Next, she talks about the importance of listening to your body. Simple things like hunger, anger, loneliness, and tiredness (remember HALT?) can cloud your judgment and intuition. Then there's the power of asking for support. Sometimes, sharing your feelings with others can help you understand them better and trust your gut more. Journaling is another powerful tool. Writing down your thoughts can unlock creativity and spirituality, helping you tune into your intuition. Finally, Dr.
Silvestri encourages you to follow those small intuitive nudges – like taking a different route home or striking up a conversation with a stranger. Throughout the episode, she shares personal stories and backs up her advice with scientific studies and quotes from famous thinkers like Steve Jobs. By the end of the episode, you'll have a toolkit full of strategies to help you trust your gut and make better decisions in your recovery journey.
