I have an interesting topic today that I think many can relate to. We often find ourselves asking others for advice on what we should do in situations without asking our own selves.
But there’s power in making your own choices and decisions and owning those. We all have an inner intuition that guides us throughout life like an instinct. But unfortunately that gets hijacked by our own internal dialogue and those of others.
When confronted with a problem we often start thinking about it left and right. We then ask others for their opinions which adds to the voices in our heads. Before you know it we have the voices/thoughts of others swimming in our minds with our own. You can see how that leads to some poorly made decisions.
I challenge you to look inward when you’re trying to decide what to do. And own the choices you make. If you make a mistake, own it and grow from it. You’ll then fine-tune your intuition. If you’re trying to figure out the best way to silence the chatter of your mind and tap into your intuition I offer this exercise:
Go to a quiet, calm, relaxed place. Sit there with your spine upright and close your eyes. Start to then focus on what you hear. Move on to what you feel physically. Just focus on your senses and what they are telling you. Then move on to your breath. Just put all your attention on how your breath flows. After awhile you’ll find yourself relaxing a bit and thoughts will be zapping in and our of your head. Just observe them without any judgement…
After a little bit of time in this state of just observing and breathing you’ll be in a meditative state. This is where you have a clear channel to your soul’s guidance aka your intuition. When you’re in this quiet, relaxed state and have less thoughts you can then focus on your question. Think about what your problem is or what you want guidance on. Then just observe the thoughts that start arising without judgment. Whatever thoughts come up just make a mental note without judging them.
When you awake, write down whatever thoughts came up when you thought about the guidance you wished to receive. Do this exercise everyday for a couple of days to a week and then look at your notes. What keeps coming up? Is there a pattern?
You will find there will be a little pattern each day that seems to be cohesive. This is your intuition. This is the voice inside of you that keeps on saying the same thing and trying to point you in the best direction. Try this out next time you really want to know what is the best answer to your problem or when you’re in need of guidance.
Sending you positive wavelengths,
