If it's a fear, you can usually identify it and face it, and then it will fade.

If it's intuition - the "don't do this" doubt - the feeling won't fade.

"the more important a project is to your souls evolution the more you'll resist it"

[johanneshalberstadt]

I find that the Steven Pressfield quote contradicts what was said before.

Intuition is calm, sure/matter of fact, clear. Most often, your body doesn't react. Its like an inner knowing.

Fear can be overly analytical, you go back and forth about the situation/person/idea.

The quote explains what she says; that the feeling of "fear" is inevitable even when it is the right thing - fear is not always negative.

Marie, I gotta tell ya, I am so thankful for what you do. I have been an indecisive person all my life. Big decisions, little ones, it doesn't matter. I just turn to others to make them for me. Then I realized that the root of indecisiveness is both a lack in confidence and fear.

Really chewing on that for a while, I came to this video of yours and I applied it. And Marie, your tip, to ask yourself that question about whether the decision feels expansive or contracting, made every single decision so much easier to make. I started applying it today and I flew through decision after decision. That question really cuts to the core and lets me weed out all of those pesky thoughts in my head about what I 'should' feel, what others expect of me or what I think they want from me and even the comparison trap of what others are doing, and hones directly in on what I want and feel.

I can't thank you enough for what you do. I've been enjoying and benefiting from your tips for a good long while now but this one takes the cake for me, saving me so much stress, hassle and, as I make one decision after another, it leads me to a more built up level of confidence (as you stated would happen). So thank you! I really needed this.

I’m literally way more confused about the difference now than before I watched this video...

[Dani-lchq]

OMG it's called Intuition :-D I was recently worrying about how I do not listen to mý fears and do things anyway.... which I thought was supposed to be a good thing.... but I realized bad things always happen then.... I thought about it further and came to the conclusion that I wrote down in my diary: If your excitment is bigger than your fear you're on the right track. If your fear is bigger, don't do it!
I realized the thin line between these two!
Thank you for naming it to the person who asked the question! ;) And thank you, Marie for the video! Great advice!! :)

that quote is contradicting to your message...

[Shavlinder]

I cannot thank you enough for the "expansive vs. contracted" comparison!! I got real clarity about what my next step should be based on this comparison and I'm now super excited about the direction it is going to take me in.

[amoniwatson]

Thank you for this simplicity thank you immensely. The decision that made me watch this video scares the crap out of me but still feels expansive. I'm starting to realize how many layers my fear has, but I think this decision will help me clear them. Core fears can definitely have a grip on you but once you address them its like you unlock a new level of yourself

[Monicalia]

I actually really needed to hear this. I have this thing I thought I had to do, but everytime I thought about it, I felt this weird pain in my chest or in my stomach and I'm not actually excited about it. I thought I'm just afraid and that would mean resistance, but with your explanation, I think it's intuition trying to tell me not to do it. Thanks!

[adriannisifonte]

I feel contracted when something I don't want it's about to happen, that's my intuition
