Don’t Hesitate: Follow That Inner Knowing

By: Dr. Sue Morter

October 7, 2025

Have you ever felt it? That quiet whisper, that gentle nudge from deep within. It’s a flicker of an idea, a sudden pull toward something new, or a deep knowing that you are meant for more. This internal compass is the voice of your most authentic Self, guiding you toward a life brimming with vibrancy and purpose.

Too often, we push that voice aside. We let doubt creep in, and the fear of the unknown holds us captive. We tell ourselves “not now,” “I’m not ready,” or “what if I fail?” We hesitate. And in that hesitation, we dim the brilliant light that is uniquely ours to shine.

But what if this was the moment you stopped hesitating? What if you decided to finally listen to that inner call and follow where it leads? Imagine stepping into a life where you are fully expressed, where your actions align with your deepest desires, and where you embody the abundant, powerful person you were always meant to be.

The Power of the Nudge

That “nudge” isn’t random. It is the Soul’s navigation system, a signal that awakens every part of your being. It’s the universe pointing you toward growth, connection, and fulfillment. It might show up as:

  • A creative spark: The sudden urge to paint, write that book, or start a new project you’ve been dreaming about.
  • A call to connect: The impulse to reach out to an old friend or have a meaningful conversation with a loved one.
  • A craving for change: The deep-seated feeling that it’s time to leave a job, start a wellness journey, or move to a new city.

These are not just fleeting thoughts; they are invitations. They are opportunities to break free from old patterns and step into a more expansive version of yourself. When you honor these inklings, you send a powerful message to the universe: “I am ready. I am open. I am choosing me.”

Three Ways to Start Answering the Call Today

1. Create Space for Stillness

Your inner voice speaks in whispers, not shouts. To hear it, you must quiet the noise of daily life. This could be as simple as five minutes of silent meditation in the morning, a walk in nature without your phone, or journaling your thoughts before bed. In these moments of stillness, ask yourself: What is my heart trying to tell me? Then, simply listen without judgment.

2. Take One Small, Inspired Action

You don’t have to figure out the entire path forward. Just take the next logical step that feels right. If you feel a nudge to be more creative, don’t worry about becoming a famous artist; just buy a sketchbook and a pencil. If you feel called to improve your health, don’t get overwhelmed by a complex fitness plan; just go for a 15-minute walk today. Small, consistent actions build momentum and create a powerful ripple effect in your life.

3. Celebrate Your Courage

Every time you follow that inner guidance, you are choosing courage over comfort. Acknowledge and celebrate it. Did you finally make that call you were dreading? Did you sign up for that class? Recognize this as a victory. This positive reinforcement trains your mind to trust your instincts more and more, making it easier to follow the next nudge, and the one after that.

This is your time. The world is waiting for you to step out as the vibrant, abundant, and fully-embodied person you are. That subtle inkling is not something to be ignored—it is the very key to unlocking the life you truly love living.

Don’t hesitate. Your most magnificent self is calling. Answer.
