Aware of your heartbeat? If yes, study says YOU can trust your gut!

Trust your gut, says Nat Geo, if you are aware of your heartbeat. Yes, you read that right.

People who are aware of their heart beats do better when making “gut” assessments, say scientists from the University of Cambridge.

It makes sense, if you think about it.  Your subconscious brain may be picking up on danger signs that you are not consciously aware of, which cause your body to react.  If you are good at catching an escalating heart beat, you are picking up on a subconscious clue from your body.

I can tell you without a doubt, I am very aware of my heart rate and when it climbs, so this makes sense to me.  The simplest things can set mine off–simply watching a video of someone sending subtle threatening red flags to others (where I am in no danger) sends mine racing!

My answer will appear in the comments in the coming days.

Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan

/in /by

This weekend NBC showcased a documentary on the Kerrigan-Harding olympic story from twenty years ago. They retold the story of what happened, and let both girls tell their stories.

Harding has always stood steadfast in denial regarding any involvement in planning the attacks.

When you watch Kerrigan talk, you see a woman who is actually quite shy and reserved, but who handled a very tragic situation with grace. She is even willing today to give Tonya her space saying that she was a strong competitor back then.

NBC exposed one lie told by Harding by playing two different clips of her saying two different things about her bodyguard, did you catch it?

It hints as Harding’s character. She’s willing to bend the story wherever it suits her.

As for what I believe, I can tell you unequivocally, I do not trust nor do I believe Tonya Harding whatsoever.

I can’t imagine what Nancy Kerrigan had to go through in that ordeal and how it has left life-long scars.
