Intuition is normal and natural. It is often referred to as the sixth sense. The key in living intuitively is to trust the intuitive guidance that you receive. This makes it easier for you to take actions steps aligned with your highest good.
The trust aspect of intuitive living can feel challenging for some, especially during major life transitions. Trust can be learned, however. Here are some tips on how to trust your intuition:
1. Practice makes perfect. Start with the small decisions. Ask your intuitive guidance about what foods to eat or what clothing to wear. Or, perhaps, ask about which route to take for work. Living intuitively is a journey similar to training to be an accomplished athlete. Athletes train certain muscles to do certain jobs. Intuition is similar to athletic training. Intuitive muscles can be trained via exercises or just listening. There is no right or wrong way because each individual will have his or her own journey with intuition. Find what works for you.
2. Ask the divine for more trust. It’s interesting at times how as a human, I can forget to ask for help for directions even when I get lost driving. Ask the divine helpers you work with to bolster self-confidence as it pertains to having more trust in your intuition. Allow the help to arrive. (Of course, you have to trust that the divine will provide the help, but that is a subject for another article, perhaps.)
3. Go with the flow. Sometimes, when things feel cloudy in your life, it simply means to take some time to rest or relax and swim downstream, so to speak. Take even 15-20 minutes per day to rest or be silent or meditate. Put off major decisions until you are clear on what to do. Trust that any decision or circumstance would not have found its way to you, unless one had the ability to navigate through it. Trust in the divine order of the universe.
4. Fake it until you make it. Believe that intuition can be trusted. Program your mind that you are intuitive and can trust this intuition. Again, practice! This belief can be embedded into your subconscious mind over time. What you believe will become reality, according to the universal laws. So, enjoy!
