Have you ever stopped to wonder why you think and act differently from others? Why your view of the world seems one-of-a-kind?

The answer lies within our intuition types. Come join me on a journey of self-discovery to see how understanding my intuition type has broadened my viewpoint. This journey not only deepened my self-understanding but also revealed the beauty of diversity and the value of varied perspectives.

My Journey to Uncover My Intuition Type

My quest to discover my intuitive gifts began with my first Reiki course, which opened my eyes to spirituality, intuition, and various healing techniques. This sparked a curiosity that fueled my journey towards self-discovery.

Uncovering my intuitive gifts was an unconventional journey. Unlike my peers, who had vibrant visualizations during Reiki sessions, I struggled to generate mental images. This divergence from the norm left me questioning why my inner visions remained elusive.

However, my intuitive journey was far from over. My discovery of the diverse intuitive senses – feeling, knowing, and hearing – was the key to understanding my unique intuition.

Discovering My Intuitive Gifts

As a massage therapist, clients were often amazed by my ability to locate their discomfort without any verbal cues. I came to understand that my intuitive gift was feeling – the ability to interpret sensations in their bodies through my hands or by resonating with their pain. This realization profoundly influenced my approach to Intuitive Healing Sessions.

The pivot in my journey occurred when I began studying Human Design and discovered that my authority was self-projected. This led me to embrace making decisions by talking through them, tapping into my intuitive gift of hearing.

Listening to my inner voice became a powerful tool, leading me towards decisions that resonated with my true self. The combination of feeling, knowing, and hearing formed the foundation of my intuition, dispelling the belief that intuition is a one-size-fits-all phenomenon.

Acknowledging Our Diverse Intuitive Gifts

Through the acknowledgment and understanding of the diversity of our intuitive gifts, I have been able to unearth the profound richness and individuality that encompasses our individual paths. My personal journey stands as a testament to the often overlooked idea that intuition is not solely about the power of visualization, but is instead a unique and personal blend of all our senses working together in harmony.

It is vital that we take the time to celebrate and appreciate the diversity that shapes and forms our individual intuitive journeys. By acknowledging our unique intuitive gifts, we are not only widening our perspectives and improving our understanding of the world around us, but we are also deepening our knowledge of our own selves. Recognizing and understanding our intuition allows us to more fully participate in life, fostering a deeper connection with ourselves and others. This is a journey of self-discovery and growth that we all can embark on.

The Beauty of Understanding Your Intuition Type

In conclusion, understanding your intuition type is a journey of self-discovery that reveals the beauty of our uniqueness and varied perspectives. It is not just about tapping into the power of visualization but also acknowledging your unique blend of senses. This journey enhances your understanding of yourself and the world around you, deepens your connection with others, and enriches your participation in life.

Remember, there is no right or wrong intuition type. Each one of you has a unique intuitive gift that is waiting to be discovered and embraced. Begin your journey today and celebrate the diversity of your intuitive gifts.

How Many Decisions Will You Make Today?

Did you know that the average adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day? That’s a lot of decision making, and does not even account for the unconscious decisions we also make!

The number of decisions an average person makes in a single day can vary widely depending on various factors such as lifestyle, age, profession, and individual circumstances. The number of decisions we consciously make daily includes all kinds of decisions, ranging from minor choices like what to wear or what to eat, to more significant decisions related to work, personal life, and long-term planning.

Many of our daily decisions are made on a subconscious level, which means we might not even be aware of them. For instance, when performing routine tasks or habits, our brain often makes decisions automatically based on past experiences and learned behaviors.

Making decisions daily from a consciously aware and aligned state, guided by your intuition, can have countless benefits for both your personal and professional life. This approach to decision-making combines self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and an inner sense of direction, leading to a more fulfilling and effective way of navigating life’s choices.

Embrace Your Unique Decision-Making Process

The process of honing your intuition and overcoming self-doubt can take different forms depending on your intuitive strength. Let’s work together to help you
enhance your life by making decisions from a consciously aware and intuitively aligned state. Whether you’re a feeler, prophetic, audient, or visionary, let’s explore how your unique intuitive abilities can guide your decision-making.

🫂 Feelers
For feelers, intuition often comes from a deep sense of bodily awareness. If you are a feeler, try to focus on how your body reacts when you think about your decision. Do you feel tense, relaxed, heavy, or light? These feelings might guide you towards the right decision.

🪄 Prophetics
As a prophetic, you may have a strong sense of “knowing” what the future holds. Spend some quiet time alone and ask yourself what you know about this decision. What potential future are you most excited about? Trust these knowings, even if they are difficult to accept.

👂 Audients
If you are an audient, you may hear your intuition as a small voice or whisper. Listen carefully during moments of silence. What is your inner voice saying about this decision? It might be a sentence, a single word, or even a sound. Trust this voice.

👁 Visionaries
Visionaries often have vivid dreams or mental images that guide their intuition. Before sleeping, ask your intuition to reveal the truth about your decision through a dream. Upon waking, record the dream and look for symbols or themes that might guide your decision.

Discovering the Power Within You

Overcoming self-doubt and trusting your intuition is a journey that requires self-awareness, compassion, and patience. Each individual’s journey will be different, and it’s okay to take the time you need to navigate this path. Remember, your intuition is a powerful guide and ally in your decision-making process. By practicing self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, trusting your instincts, seeking supportive feedback, and embracing mindfulness, you can conquer self-doubt and harness the power of your intuition.

No matter where you are on this journey, trust that you are making progress and moving closer to a place of self-trust and confidence. Remember, every step you take is a step closer to trusting your inner guidance and living a life that’s aligned with your deepest desires. So, keep going, trust your journey, and trust yourself. You are more intuitive and capable than you might think.

Last week you jotted down 2-3 choices you’re facing right now, where you’d love to rely on your inner guidance. Let’s dive into how you can overcome self doubt and trust your inner guidance while making these decisions!

One of the most challenging obstacles we often encounter in our lives is self-doubt. This self-doubt can manifest in various forms and is usually deeply rooted in a lack of confidence in our intuitive gifts and judgement toward our authentic selves.

 ➡️ Choose the decision you're currently struggling with the most. Write down three judgments you've made about that choice. If you're having difficulty, complete this sentence: "I should ____.”

Do you find yourself echoing thoughts like, “I’m not intuitive,” or “My gut intuition isn’t strong enough”? These thoughts often stem from an underlying uncertainty about our inherent abilities and a fear of trusting our own instincts. This uncertainty extends to our decision-making abilities, leading us to question the validity of our decisions, regret past choices, or fear the potential repercussions of making a wrong decision.

At times, these insecurities can escalate to the point where we find ourselves saying things like, “I can’t trust my instincts,” or even worse, “What if my intuition leads me astray?” This lack of trust in our ability to make instinctual decisions can put a damper on our progress and hamper our decision-making abilities.

It’s not uncommon during these moments of self-doubt to feel that others around us have a stronger sense of intuition. This can lead to destructive thoughts like, “I’m not as intuitive as they are,” further exacerbating our insecurities and inhibiting our ability to trust our instincts.

There are many causes that can fuel this self-doubt, some of which are deeply personal. In my own experience, I’ve faced challenges from past failures, the constant need to prove myself, the relentless quest for validation or approval, the fear of judgement, and the unhealthy habit of comparing myself to others.

It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of not believing in oneself or feeling undeserving of good things. These doubts can make even the simplest decisions feel overwhelming, leading to a state of analysis paralysis where we feel stuck, unable to move forward.

However, it’s crucial to remember that these feelings of self-doubt are common. They are part of the human experience and can be overcome. The act of trusting your intuition is essentially a skill that can be honed with practice and patience.

Strategies to Overcome Self-Doubt

Let’s discuss strategies to overcome self-doubt. Take your notes on the decision you’re currently struggling with, along with your list of judgments about that choice, and let’s explore ways to conquer self-doubt and gain full confidence in decision-making using your intuition.

Here’s an example to illustrate this. Assume you’re in a long-term relationship, but you’re beginning to feel disconnected and unfulfilled. Your partner is supportive and caring, but your differences are becoming more apparent. While you are creative, driven, and ambitious, your partner is content with their current job and lacks the desire for advancement. You love to travel and explore new cultures, but your partner prefers to spend their free time at home.

For months, you’ve had this lingering feeling that your paths are diverging. You’re torn between the comfort of your relationship and the desire for a partner who shares your ambitions and interests. You can sense where your intuition is leading you, but you’re filled with self-doubt, questioning your intuition, and waiting for a sign to confirm what you already suspect — that the relationship has run its course.

So, how can you handle this decision that’s causing you to doubt your intuition? Let’s explore strategies to conquer self-doubt and trust your inner guidance!

Below are practical steps to overcome self-doubt. Remember, no one is immune to these feelings – we all grapple with them at various points in our lives. These strategies are designed to help you navigate these challenges and foster a stronger trust in your intuition.

1. Practice Self-Compassion

The first step in the process of overcoming self-doubt involves treating yourself with kindness and understanding. Experiencing doubts and uncertainties is a perfectly normal aspect of being human.

For example, there might be instances where you feel conflicted about your decisions. In such cases, it’s important to remind yourself that it’s completely okay to experience these emotions. These feelings don’t define you, but rather, they contribute to your personal growth and the process of self-discovery. Embracing these emotions can lead to deeper insights about yourself and your desires.

→ Intuition check: How do you feel about the decision you're currently struggling with? What insights do these emotions reveal about you and your desires?

2. Challenge Negative Thoughts

Confront and challenge any negative thoughts that fuel self-doubt. This involves questioning the accuracy of these thoughts and replacing them with more positive, empowering beliefs. For example, you could challenge thoughts like “I’m being selfish for wanting more from a relationship” with “It’s okay to desire a relationship that aligns with my life goals and aspirations.”

→ What negative thoughts are causing you to feel self-doubt about this decision? What is a more positive, empowering belief that you could adopt instead?

3. Trust Your Instincts

Trust in your instincts and intuition. Often, your gut feeling or instinct can guide you in making decisions that align with your authentic self. In the example above, this could mean acknowledging your feelings of disconnection and recognizing that your intuition might be signaling it’s time to move on from her relationship.

→ Intuition check: If you check in with your gut feeling or natural instinct, what does it tell you about this decision that you might already know?

4. Seek Supportive Feedback

When in doubt, reach out to trusted individuals in your life – friends, family, mentors, or coaches who understand and support your journey. Their perspectives and experiences can often provide valuable insights, helping you see your situation from a different angle.

Another beneficial approach is to join a support group. Being part of a supportive community where you can openly share your doubts, fears, and triumphs can be incredibly reassuring. It not only gives you a safe space to express yourself but also allows you to learn from others who are navigating similar paths.

In addition, as an intuitive guide, I’m here to help you navigate this journey of self-discovery and growth. I can provide intuitive guidance, help you identify and interpret your intuitive signals, and support you in building trust in your intuition.

While external advice and feedback can be valuable, it’s essential to remember that the final decision is always yours. Filter all advice and feedback through your own intuition. This ensures that the decisions you make are in alignment with your authentic self and your personal growth journey.

→ Who can you reach out to for supportive feedback on this decision? What is a specific question you could ask them that would help you gain more clarity?

5. Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness can help you stay present in the moment, enabling you to fully engage with your current situation without unnecessary worry about the past or the future. This state of being present can effectively prevent negative thoughts from spiraling out of control, which often leads to stress and anxiety. To cultivate mindfulness, there are several regular practices you can adopt.

Meditation, for example, allows you to focus your mind and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. Journaling is a great way to express your thoughts and feelings, providing a healthy outlet for your emotions. It can also help you identify patterns in your thoughts and behavior, thus promoting self-awareness.

→ Intuition check: What activities help you cultivate mindfulness? How does this practice influence your decision-making process?

→ Action step: Choose one mindfulness practice (like meditation or journaling) and commit to it for the next week. Notice any changes in your self-doubt and intuition.

Picture this: you’re standing at a crossroads in your life, unsure of which direction to go. Two paths stretch out before you, each with their own advantages and challenges. Your mind is buzzing with thoughts, but there’s a tiny whisper deep down. That whisper is your intuition, your very own built-in guide.

Do you sometimes ignore this inner guidance because you’re second-guessing yourself? In this blog, we’re going to explore the power and significance of intuition, how ignoring it can lead to a disconnect with your authentic self, and the importance of learning to trust this inner guide.

Learning to Honor My Intuition

Through my personal journey, I’ve battled with self-doubt and the challenge of trusting my intuition. As I navigated through years of managing my own business, I’ve realized that trusting my intuition when making business decisions is critical to stay in sync with my true self, and to avoid falling into a pit of despair, where I could end up feeling bitter, limited, and devoid of passion.

Before going on maternity leave, I was faced with the decision of whether to close Nirvana Healing Center or keep it running in my absence. Initially, I was uncertain about which direction would best align with my values and support my vision for both my life and business. However, deep down, my intuition nudged me towards closure, a decision that would enable me to concentrate on my expanding family and establish a business that accommodates being home with the baby while pursuing my passion.

While making this difficult decision, the Universe provided me with signs that confirmed closure was the right choice. My ability to trust my intuition allowed me to recognize these signs and make the decision under tremendous pressure, something I’ve previously found challenging.

This wasn’t the first time I confronted a decision that could significantly alter the direction of my business. In the early days of my entrepreneurial journey, I would often succumb to self-doubt and ignore my intuition, resulting in decisions that were out of sync with my true self and my long-term vision. This pattern of self-doubt and ignoring my intuition led to a series of challenges and struggles that could have been avoided had I trusted my inner guidance.

For my business, this resulted in financial hardship, missed opportunities, and unnecessary struggles. On a personal level, it led to stress, anxiety, and bitterness. Making decisions based on self-doubt caused me to resent my work. This was due to a lack of alignment with my core values and vision, creating a disconnect between my actions and my true self. This ultimately led to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfillment.

Personally, there is nothing more detrimental to my well-being than a lack of authenticity. Looking back, I can see that the times I ignored my intuition were the times I was most out of alignment with my true self. Trusting my intuition has become a non-negotiable aspect of my life, a beacon guiding me towards authenticity. I’ve learned that to be truly happy, I must honor my intuition, even when it leads me down uncharted paths.

The Importance of Trusting Your Intuition

Throughout our day, we encounter numerous decision-making moments, each offering a chance to connect with and trust our intuition. These choices can range from choosing our outfit in the morning to deciding on the future of a relationship or career.

🛑 Take a moment to reflect: What decisions are you juggling at the moment, unsure of the best path forward? Jot down 2-3 choices you're facing right now, where you'd love to rely on your inner guidance.

Like me, you also have your own built-in guide – your intuition. Sometimes it’s as quiet as a whisper but it’s always there, nudging you towards your most aligned path. Trusting this voice might be challenging, especially when self-doubt starts creeping in. However, it’s crucial not to let it overpower your inner guidance.

This journey has taught me the importance of trusting my intuition, even when it means making decisions that are uncomfortable or challenging. Learning to trust your intuition is a gradual process that requires patience and practice. You don’t have to perfect it overnight. Start with small decisions and gradually build up to bigger ones. Over time, you’ll find that you’re able to trust your intuition more and more, leading to decisions that align with your true self and bring you happiness.

Honoring and trusting your intuition is a vital part of leading a fulfilling and authentic life. It may not be easy, especially when faced with significant decisions that could alter the course of your life or work. However, with practice and persistence, it’s possible to strengthen your trust in your intuition. Remember, your intuition is your inner compass, guiding you towards your true path.

Have you ever felt guided by your intuition towards a decision that felt just right?

When you connect with your inner voice, a subtle yet powerful source of wisdom, you access insights that transcend logical analysis.

It’s like having a wise mentor residing within you, one who understands your strengths, fears, and dreams.

Strategies to Leverage Your Intuition in Decision-Making

When it comes to decision-making in your professional or personal life, intuition can be a powerful ally. It acts as an internal compass, pointing you towards the right direction. Below are a few strategies to effectively use your intuition to make aligned decisions:

1. Discover your intuitive type: This step is crucial as it will assist you in identifying and strengthening your unique intuitive gifts. Each individual possesses a unique set of intuitive skills, and understanding what your particular strengths are will enable you to leverage them. By recognizing and developing these abilities, you can begin to rely on them for decision-making. This is far more beneficial than struggling to utilize less potent intuitive abilities that are not as naturally attuned to your personal style and preferences. Harnessing your unique intuitive gifts can provide you with a clear, guiding voice in the decision-making process, helping you make choices that are more aligned with your personal path in life.
2. Tune in to your specific intuitive gift: For Feelers, focus on your feelings and emotions, paying attention to how a specific choice makes you feel. Prophetics want to pay attention to your gut and instinctual knowing. Visionaries try to visualize the potential outcomes of each choice and select the one that supports the path you most desire to follow. Audients discuss your potential choices with a trusted friend or colleague, listening to the sound of your own voice as you discuss each option. Pay attention to how your voice sounds, and if there’s excitement in your voice about the choice. Everyone has the option to utilize a combination of these intuitive gifts to gain more insight into the decision they’re trying to make.
3. Trust in your unique gifts: Remember how important it is to tune in and really trust your instinctive visions, feelings, and those immediate reactions that pop up. When you experience a spontaneous feeling or intuition about something, instead of dismissing it, it’s worth cherishing and thinking about what it means for you. If something doesn’t instill a sense of growth or doesn’t feel expansive and enriching to you, then it probably isn’t. Trusting your instincts can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
4. Reflect: Set aside some time for solitude and personal reflection. This practice allows you to deeply connect with your inner self, which in turn can help you better understand and tune into your intuition. By spending time alone in quiet reflection, you allow yourself the space and quiet to truly listen to and interpret these signals. Meditation is a particularly effective method for this. It not only calms the mind and reduces stress, but also enhances self-awareness and the ability to focus, which are essential for tapping into and understanding your intuition.
5. Don’t rush: Intuitive decision-making doesn’t necessarily thrive under pressure. This is because intuition often requires a calm and relaxed state of mind to fully emerge and guide your choices. So, instead of rushing through decisions, particularly those that are significant, it’s beneficial to take your time. Allow yourself space and time to think, reflect, and evaluate. This gives room for your intuition to surface and have an influence on your decision-making process. It’s in these moments of tranquility and contemplation that your intuition can truly emerge, potentially leading you to make more informed and wise decisions.
6. Embrace uncertainty: Decisions made intuitively, based on gut feelings or instincts, may not always align with the popular opinion or seem logical in the conventional sense. These choices can often be met with skepticism or resistance due to their seemingly illogical nature. However, it is crucial to embrace the uncertainty that comes with intuitive decision making. Be willing to venture into the unknown and take calculated risks. The road less traveled may be fraught with uncertainty, but it can also lead to unique and innovative outcomes.
7. Practice mindfulness: Being fully present and engaged in the current moment can significantly enhance your innate intuitive abilities. When you’re entirely focused on the here and now, you’re able to absorb and process the subtle signals and cues that your environment is constantly sending your way. These could be anything from a flash of inspiration to a sensation in your own body. By honing your awareness to these often overlooked signals, your intuition becomes more accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. This can then guide your decision-making process, leading to more informed and successful outcomes.

Achieving Balance Between Intuition and Reason

Remember that intuitive decision-making doesn’t mean ignoring the facts or disregarding the data in front of you. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The goal is to achieve balance between intuition and reason. When utilized correctly and efficiently, intuition can transform into a powerful ally in the complex process of decision-making. It’s not about dismissing your conscious thought processes but rather about enhancing your decisions with the added layer of instinctive understanding.

The next time you find yourself standing at a crossroads with a significant decision to make, take a moment, take a breath, quiet your mind and sincerely listen to that inner voice, that subtle instinctual pull. It’s that voice that, when given attention, can help guide you down the path that’s right for you, assisting you in making choices that align with your deepest values and aspirations.
