I have recently come to understand something quite profound. That is, when trying to navigate your life, and when trying to make decisions that will move you forward in life… you may ask friends, family or even professionals for their own take on something. You may ask for advice or guidance… but it is very important, in the end, to trust in your own intuition.
We are the ones that are living our lives, so no matter how much people try to put themselves in your shoes, they will never be able to completely understand and know what is best for you.
I am a big believer in trusting in your gut and intuition, and I believe this will always lead you in the right direction… even if your own intuitive responses may not seem to make a lot of sense rationally.
Sometimes your own intuitive responses can become clouded by other peoples’ opinions and words. So, it is very important to take some time out to be alone and still, to really get in touch with your own inner guidance system. Meditation is very effective for gaining clarity around what our intuition is saying to us, so I highly encourage this. Journaling can be great for this too.
And then, once you are in touch with this inner guidance, trust in it, take the necessary actions and do not second guess yourself.
We cannot keep looking outside of ourselves for answers to questions, and if anything, this is simply going to confuse us unnecessarily. No one else can tell you what the right move is. There is a big lesson here about trusting in yourself, ultimately.
What about our feelings or heart responses though? What if your feelings are contradicting what your intuition is telling you? I say, in this case, that you should communicate your feelings to see if there is a shift. Or in other words, speak your truth. Often our feelings will shift if we communicate them to someone else. There maybe something that needs to be said… so say it and become empowered. I have recently had experience with this, and after I had communicated my deep feelings to someone, I was able to move forward, and a new clear path emerged. Also, when I did this, my intuition became even stronger and clearer.
I make a pledge, from here on in, that I will always communicate my feelings, because this will always point me in the right direction and move me forward…. And I know that new solutions and pathways will emerge when I do this. And whilst I can still graciously take on advice and guidance from other people in my life, I will always ultimately refer back to my own inner compass in all situations.
