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

• I’m about to make a real decision based on a gut sense that this kind of thing happens "all the time," and I’ve just realized I have no idea how often it actually happens
• 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 got a strong gut feeling about this, but I’m honestly not sure I can trust it here
• This decision feels like it has to happen right now or I’ll burst, and I can’t tell if it’s genuinely urgent or just the sting of the moment screaming the loudest
• I’m running endless mental simulations of how this big choice will feel and convincing myself I already know
