Trust - Trust Your Gut, Trust the Feeling,by Donna Miller
May 01, 2025
A few years back I was out hiking with a friend up Sun peaks mountain. It was a super hot day. They called that day a heat dome. I had never heard of that term before. It was 51 + Celsius. We knew we had to get off the mountain as we were almost out of water. Winding our way down we came to a fork in the trail. Thinking "do we take the one that looked way shorter , or do we stick to the longer path we came up"? It was so hot I could barely think straight. I stood quietly for a moment, then in a instant I felt the fluttering of butterflies in my stomach. and that was my sign. I knew the correct way. We took the the untraveled path, it was a bit shorter, a little more of a challenge, but we made it just as our water ran out.
We hear this word a lot through all stages in our life. Trust me, I trust you, trust the process, trust all is well. Only once trust is broken, doubt steps in. But is it broken? Or is it a strong lesson to learn. When we give away our trust to someone else, it can take a lot of responsibility for them to hold our trust (ones trust).
It's like giving your health away. Letting someone take care of your wellness. Dictating what we are eating, how much we sleep, our social interaction, and physical wellbeing.
Trust is the feeling that comes from your core, your gut feeling. The feeling comes first, then the thought of emotion afterwards. Am I, or am I not trusting this situation? What does your body say? In most cases your body will scream at you. Not all of us listen to this, not all of the time. But your gut feelings are right, 100% of the time. Trust is a powerful emotion; one we need to treasure, and stop giving away.
When feeling unsure about decisions, ask your Divine team to assist and be clear on the feeling of trust. Make sure its not an indigestive stomach and you are following your gut, and the emotion of trust can be felt clearly. Ask your Divine team to give you another sign so doubt won't be present. Your gut will be speaking to your knowing. Butterflies are a sure sign of knowing you're on the right path.
Trust will come organically.
