My gut said no pretty quickly, yet I was unable to trust myself.
I started asking for opinions from my support network to see if they agreed with my thinking. And when I didn’t get the validation I was seeking, I got more knotted up.
I needed there to be a logical, quantifiable reason to say no. I wasn’t willing to take my gut response at face value.
And then there was the money thing. As in, I need this money, so surely my gut is wrong when it tells me I don’t want to do this.
I also noticed that this is how decision-making (especially work-related decisions) tends to be for me. Gut-wrenchingly painful.
