Whether you’ve fully accepted it or not, we are guided by our inner wisdom, often referred to as our intuition.

This sense of knowing comes from your subconscious mind. You can experience it whenever you want, but especially when making decisions.

Your intuition should inform every aspect of your personal and professional lives. Yet, many of us choose to ignore it in favour of logic, data and other rational ‘proven’ methods.

When was the last time you ignored your inner wisdom and regretted it?

Intuition isn’t about being impulsive or irrational; in fact, it’s the opposite.

Responding to a gut feeling is actually about processing information faster than we can consciously comprehend and by removing the logical part of our brain, we could in effect, be much more efficient and productive.

It’s the egoic mind that slows us down. Ruminating and tossing ideas and thoughts around our heads is the biggest cause of self-doubt and regret.

In fact ‘Human Doing’ is the biggest problem affecting the western world. Rather than being present in the now and trusting ourselves we rely too much on the past or focus on the future.

When faced with a decision or challenge, many people search for answers. Oftentimes the answer can be located by simply consulting their intuition.

Also known as your gut instinct, it can give insight into new ways of thinking and behaving to achieve your goals. When you trust your instincts, you can often achieve something beyond what you initially thought possible.

Additionally living life without listening to inner wisdom can be brutal on our mental health and sense of selfconfidence, it can cause us to end up making bad decisions that can cost us dearly down the track.

We might choose a partner who’s not good for us, or take a job that’s not a good fit. We might make financial decisions that end up costing us money, or we might miss out on opportunities that could have changed our lives for the better.

HERE ARE 5 TIPS TO HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR INNER WISDOM AND UTILISE YOUR INTUITION: 1. Pay attention if you have a strong feeling about something, especially when out of the blue. 2. Listen to your heart and emotions, they are often the best indicator of what we truly want. 3. Follow through on inspiration, even if it goes against what others are saying. 4. Practise meditating or other relaxation techniques. This can help quiet the mind and allow our intuitive thoughts to speak more clearly to us. 5. Play with it, take action on a hunch, and pay attention to how it works out. It’s critical to reinforce anything that becomes a win. By acknowledging it, you are telling and encouraging yourself you are open to receiving more helpful insights.

The real cost of not listening to your gut feeling is that you end up missing out on what’s best for you.

So next time you’re feeling unsure about something, take a step back and listen to your intuitive instinct. It will never steer you wrong.

We hope this blog post has helped you reflect on the importance of listening to your instinct and the many ways that you can use your inner wisdom in your life. You can find more helpful tools and resources on my website.
