What’s The Difference Between Gut

By Gillian Dalgliesh, Innovative Thinker & Clinical Hypnotherapist

There’s been a lot of mention in the media about tapping into our intuition & using our intuition. But what exactly is intuition and how can we recognise, use it and trust it? Also, how can we recognise the differences between gut, anxiety & intuition? I’ve written a synopsis below, but you can find the full article on my website. Gut feeling is generally about how we feel right now. It’s a basic & immediate feeling and is usually a response to something external – an opportunity to adapt to ‘dangers’. It’s a lot like fight, flight or freeze – an instinct born of survival needs. Gut feeling tends to be reactive to other people’s actions or situations. It’s a response that can keep us safe and alive. So it’s about survival or analysis of a situation & protection. Here is an example “I stubbed my toe while going to the loo in the night time. My gut instinct is that it might happen again. So now I am very careful about my step placement moving forward.” Some clients ask me “What’s the difference between gut instinct and anxiety?”. One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a gut instinct and anxiety is by how long your symptoms last. A gut instinct is often a reaction to an immediate situation. Anxiety, on the other hand, might be present regardless of its relevance to your current experience. Take that dark parking garage, for instance. If you experience a desire to run quickly to your car, that might be your gut instinct guiding you away from danger. But if you feel that level of anxiety all day long, well, it’s probably anxiety. Intuition is the exact opposite of gut feeling. The difference between gut instinct and intuition is that gut instinct is not a reliable guide to building innovative processes in creative thinking. Gut feeling is about survival – doing whatever is necessary to keep us safe and alive. It’s very connected with fearful and reactive behaviour. Intuition is a higher level of consciousness – a capacity to sense energies and to create a ripple effect of wise choices for healthy, sustainable change. It isn’t about doing the bare minimum to survive. It’s what I call Mind Magic! A much higher level frequency than gut instinct and is about responsible actions for the sustainable good of the whole, giving you answers about how you need to move forward in a healthy, positive, comprehensive & sustainable way. And the great thing is, that we can all access this, for the common good!!! It’s wonderful in creating the positive, sustainable changes we want in our lives.

Getting Ready To Sell Your Property In The Autumn

With schools about to go back and autumn around the corner this is a popular time to sell property. Preparing to sell your property is key to making sure you give yourself the best chance of attracting buyers, and getting the best price possible for your property. At the end of summer there are always jobs to do to get your property sale ready.

Here are some of ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan’s top tips for selling:

Must Do Jobs

First some essential jobs that will freshen up your property and help get it ready for sale: declutter and even put some items in storage or boxed and put away ready to move; give the property a deep clean, including carpets; replace the bathroom grout if needed; touch up chipped or marked paintwork. Other external jobs such as checking the roof, clearing guttering and checking the external window paintwork are all important before a home report is ordered.

First Impressions

First impressions really do count. We would always advise you to stand back and look at the entrance to your property. It is amazing what a freshly painted front door and some eye-catching planted pots at the door can do. This has the same impact if it is a house or a flat. Gardens should be neat, grass cut, shrubs trimmed, leaves collected, and seasonal planting will give it a splash of colour for viewings.

Staging Your Property

This is so important when selling as we are naturally drawn to attractive, styled homes, although it is nice to keep that balance of styled but still showing the warmth of a home. Allow room for viewers to move around, and give access to a window if there is a nice outlook as we are drawn to this when we enter a room. For those homes that are empty we highly recommend either a company that 43/7 Gardner’s Crescent, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, EH3 8DG will furnish it for your sale, or virtually staging a photo or two, as this helps buyers visualise how the property will look furnished.

Expert Advice With A Personal Touch

All of these small jobs are so worthwhile and the effort will pay off!
