Anxiety vs intuition

Anxiety and intuition can both show up as a strong pull, a sense that something is wrong, that you should act, or that you need more information before you can relax.

Anxiety often speaks in urgency and repetition. It wants certainty now, offers catastrophic possibilities, and rarely feels satisfied by new evidence.

The volume of a feeling does not tell you whether it is accurate. An important concern can feel urgent, and an anxious prediction can feel calm. Look at the observable facts, the pattern over time, and whether repeated checking is helping you decide or keeping you in the loop.
