Instincts can protect us from harm from "summary" of The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker

Our instincts are powerful tools that have evolved over thousands of years to keep us safe from harm. They are like a sixth sense that can warn us of danger before our conscious mind has even processed the threat. When we listen to our instincts and trust our gut feelings, we are more likely to avoid dangerous situations and protect ourselves from harm. Instincts can manifest themselves in various ways, such as a feeling of unease, a sense of dread, or a gut reaction that something is not right. These feelings are our body's way of alerting us to potential danger, based on subconscious cues that our conscious mind may not have picked up on. By paying attention to these instincts and taking them seriously, we can often avoid risky situations and protect ourselves from harm. In many cases, our instincts can detect danger even when there are no obvious signs or red flags present. This is because our brains are wired to pick up on subtle cues and patterns that may indicate a threat. By tuning into these instincts and being attuned to our surroundings, we can stay one step ahead of potential dangers and keep ourselves safe. However, many people ignore or dismiss their instincts, either because they don't trust them or because they are afraid of seeming paranoid or irrational. This can be a dangerous mistake, as our instincts are often our best defense against harm. By tuning out distractions and focusing on our gut feelings, we can make better decisions and protect ourselves from potential threats.
  1. Our instincts are a valuable gift that can help us navigate the world safely and avoid harm. By listening to our gut feelings and trusting our intuition, we can empower ourselves to make smart choices and protect ourselves from danger. It is important to recognize the power of our instincts and to cultivate a habit of listening to them in order to stay safe in an unpredictable world.
