Instincts

We were all born with instincts. It's just that as we grew up, we were taught to ignore them and go with what we had learnt. Now I've learnt that ignoring your instincts is a bad idea. Because many times, I had found that that little twinge of uncertainty was basically your instinct telling you that you're making a mistake. My best stories are the ones where I basically followed my gut feeling. But after years of ignoring our instincts, how do we actually learn to trust them again??
