Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I feel completely sure about this decision, which is honestly starting to make me nervous
• I’ve got a strong gut feeling about this, but I’m honestly not sure I can trust it here
• A feeling hits hard and I can’t tell if it’s warning me about something real or just a false alarm firing too loud
• This decision just "feels right" and I want to go with it, but I can’t shake the worry that the good feeling is really about my mood today, not about whether it’s actually a smart call.
• I’ve been sitting on something easy for two weeks telling myself I need one more data point, and the truth is I already know enough
