Listen To Your Body

What I didn't realize until much later is that I actually had a very good connection with my inner GPS, my inner guidance system. And I used to think that it was, I've studied body language, so I'm just reading people, or I've studied NLP or psychology, I'm reading people. I was reading people in a whole other way. And it became clear to me one day when, as an editor, I'm very good at spotting typos. And I remember standing in the doorway of a client whose book I was writing. We'd just come into the room and I looked at his screen and said, 'There's a typo there.' And he said, 'How do you do that? How do you know that? You're on the other side of the room.' And I thought about it, and I used an NLP technique to discover how do I do that, and I realized that what's going on is that my eyes are seeing a pattern that is not correct. And it's as if my brain, in speeded-up time, goes inside, what's wrong? What's not correct? And I have a feeling in my tummy that tells me something's out, something's not right. And so this ability, and it is something that I've learned, is an amazing sixth sense. I know when someone isn't telling the truth. I know when they're not being authentic. I know when something isn't right. And I know it because I have what I call a typo in my tummy. So I've learned to recognize this quiet voice or feeling in my gut that says, 'Pay attention. Pay attention.' So yeah, my typo in my tummy is my inner guidance.
