Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. In our last episode, we talked about second-guessing yourself — when you start doubting your own decisions.

Today’s expression moves in the opposite direction. It’s “trust your gut.” One more time: “trust your gut.”

Listen to this: She had a feeling something wasn’t right. There was no clear reason, no strong evidence — just a quiet sense inside. Instead of ignoring it, she decided to trust her gut.

So what does “trust your gut” mean? To “trust your gut” means to trust your instincts — your natural feeling about a situation, even if you can’t fully explain it.

It’s that inner voice that guides you. Let’s listen to some examples.

Sometimes, when meeting someone for the first time, you get a certain feeling. You may not know why, but you can choose to trust your gut.

When making decisions, people often have both logic and instinct. And sometimes, your instinct is worth listening to.

After second-guessing yourself, it can feel difficult to trust your own judgment again. But learning to trust your gut is part of rebuilding confidence.

Of course, instincts are not always perfect. But they are often shaped by experience —
 things you notice without realizing.

 Now it’s your turn: Do you usually trust your gut, or do you tend to question it?

Thanks for listening to Daily English. Listen closely to that quiet voice inside you,
and see you tomorrow.
