How do you arrive at your decisions? Do you listen to your mind or heart? Maybe a gut feeling motivates you. Also known as your intuition. What is intuition? Intuition is often described as a primal feeling, sixth sense, inner sense, inner voice, instinct, or a voice of a higher being. Possibly you initiate knee jerk reactions and need to slow your decision process. Becoming more in tune with one self is possible.
Each day we are making decisions. What to wear, where to eat, evaluation of your job, large purchases, choosing whom to have or not have in your life. The list continues. Intuitive decision-making is said to require more than common sense. When making an intuitive choice we are receiving the information and ideas from an unknown source. Difficult to pinpoint, we have all experienced some type of message whether to do or not do something. There is also an uncertainty whether intuitive decision-making is beneficial. Are you feeling you could think through things a bit better? Here are a few recommendations on how to connect with your inner self.
Taking time to do the following may allow you to see, experience, and perceive decision-making in a positive fashion. Therefore, you may feel better about your overall choices.
Find Quiet Time
Taking an adult time-out is helpful and healthy. Sit quietly, jog, do yoga, hike, or bike. Isolate your mind and body. Silence is key. You will be able to think and analyze in peace.
Be Accepting
Open your mind and heart to what you receive. Abolish the ego and stop thinking you have it figured out. None of us do. Be open to creating a new path for yourself. You may recognize you have endless possibilities.
Be Innovative
Get into a groove. Taking up a new hobby can allow you to become creative. Our mind is alert when we are creative. Creativity inspires us to look deeper into our souls. This may allow incredible intuitive guidance.
Question Yourself
Be bold and ask yourself honest questions. Be truthful with yourself. You will gain insight and clarity. Each of us has the skill set and it is about utilizing them to affect changes. You can trust yourself.
Journal Your Thoughts
Writing your thoughts, ideas, and feelings allows us to physically see what we need to do in our lives. When we write there is truth. Incredible insight can flourish when you see your thoughts in black and white.
Any and all things worthwhile require work and patience. Intuition cannot be forced. Feed your brain with information and then allow the rest to happen. Out of the blue you may experience an “Aha” moment. However, if your intuition prompts you to act quickly… go for it! Soften, settle, and relax. The rest will take its course.
