Do not ignore feelings of discomfort from "summary" of The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker
When we ignore feelings of discomfort, we are essentially dismissing our natural instincts that are designed to keep us safe. These feelings serve as warning signs, alerting us to potential dangers or threats in our environment. By acknowledging and listening to these feelings, we are better equipped to protect ourselves from harm. Discomfort is a powerful signal that should not be overlooked or dismissed. It is our body's way of communicating with us, providing valuable information that we should pay attention to. When we ignore these feelings, we are essentially silencing our internal alarm system that is meant to alert us to potential risks. Instead of rationalizing away feelings of discomfort, we should embrace them as valuable tools in our personal safety toolkit. These feelings are there for a reason, and by listening to them, we can better assess and respond to potentially dangerous situations. Trusting our instincts can often mean the difference between safety and harm. It is important to remember that discomfort is not a sign of weakness or paranoia. It is a natural response to situations that may pose a threat to our well-being. By acknowledging and honoring these feelings, we are taking an active role in our own safety and security. In order to stay safe and protect ourselves, we must be willing to listen to our instincts and honor our feelings of discomfort. By doing so, we are empowering ourselves to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to ensure our own well-being. Ignoring these feelings only serves to weaken our defenses and put us at greater risk.
