Transform Your Life With the Power of Your Intuition
Your intuition expresses the honest feelings of your true self and is the source of your inspiration, self-protective fear and creativity. By listening to your inner voice, you can gain insight into what makes you happy, unhappy and at risk and gain the power to transform your life into one that is more vibrant and fulfilling.
Unfortunately, most of us don't listen to our inner voices because we're too busy juggling all of the responsibilities and demands of our daily lives.
The good news is that regardless of how busy your life may be, there are ways to filter out distractions so you can hear your inner voice. As you reconnect with your deeper self, you can use that voice to guide you to the things that will bring more joy, progress, and peace into your life.
Your intuition is a muscle and will get stronger with regular practice. Before long, you are listening to your inner voice will become second nature. To get started, filter out daily life's noise, and tune into our intuition, we need to hear what it has to say.
How to get in touch with your intuition
Set aside dedicated time for self-reflection. Many clients tell me they "just don't have time". Self-reflection is an essential part of personal development and is something we regret not making time for but never regret the time we spent on it. I often say “It’s important to take the time to think a thought through to it’s completion.”
Self-reflection is as simple as thinking about the things in your life that are going well and that make you happy and the things that you're dissatisfied with. Reflect on how you truly feel about the direction your life is taking. It is essential to be honest, and open with yourself as you reflect on your life. Ignore any critical voices from the past and avoid letting society tell you how to live your life; the loud objective voice that may interrupt your train of thought is your ego.
Seek a place and time for your moments of self-reflection where you can be alone and uninterrupted for at least 30-minutes. You may need something to help you regulate like a fidget or something mindless that keeps your body in some sort of motion. Knitting, walking- anything you can do “mindlessly” can allow you to hear your intuition. This is free mind time, not executive function mind time.
You can also choose a place where you can fully relax and be alone with your thoughts, such as lying on your bed, sitting on the sofa or reclining in the bath. I take my dogs for a walk on a quiet trail that is open with a view without my headphones and listen to the thoughts running through my head.
Either during or immediately after, write down any thoughts or impressions that emerge during your self-reflection. The more you practice, the more precise the intuitive thoughts will be; it's helpful to record your insights for reflection at a later date or to explore the thought pattern further.
Keeping lists, journalling, or even sharing your insights with a friend or life coach can help you identify the areas of your life that you want to change to bring more happiness and joy to your everyday life.
As you experience the joy of hearing your intuition learn to trust it and take careful and thoughtful action on your discoveries. Nobody is expecting you to make drastic changes to your life, start small but make time each day to do something that brings you joy. Each tiny step is a step towards living your dream life.
Just as you seek to add more things to your day-to-day that brings you joy, try to restrict or remove habits that do not. With time your intuition may guide you toward a new career, end relationships or relocate. Trust your intuition has the best intentions for you, and accept with grace that letting go of the people and things that drain your energy prevents you from being truly happy.
With time and regular practice, listening to your intuition will guide you to live a life with much joy and happiness.
