Explain the Difference Between Anxiety and Intuition
That tight feeling before a decision: is it your gut warning you, or just your nerves? Confusing the two leads to bad calls. This explains how each one feels in the body, what sets it off, and gives you practical tests to tell them apart in the moment. Useful next time you can't work out whether to trust the unease or push past it.
