3 Ways To Tap Into The Best Guidance System On Earth ... Your Intuition

Do you ever just get a gut feeling about something but choose not to listen to it? You choose to ignore it? That’s your guidance system and it’s the strongest, most accurate one you’ll ever find… if you can trust it enough to tap into it.

I have a little story to share with you.

I recently lost access to my music Facebook page. I had 33,000 followers and had grown the page over the last 14 years. I received an email asking to be a part of an online event, now usually I would have said no then and there, but I didn’t.

I jumped on a zoom call with the organisers and it was the morning after I had found a massive lump in my chest which I suspected at the time was cancer. My head was everywhere but in that conversation. Even though my head wasn’t in the game, my gut was screaming at me to get off the call.

By the end of the call, I had unknowingly added this online event to my Facebook page which gave them enough access to remove me and make themselves the owners. I felt stupid for a moment but because of the incredible fear I was feeling for my health, I really didn’t care that much.

Once I was cleared and knew my health was perfect, I made a promise to myself that I would never, ever again ignore my intuition. I now work extra hard to tune in and listen to it because it’s always been very strong, but like most of us, I have ignored it many times in favour of the outside worldly opinions.

Intuition is defined as a natural ability or instinctive feeling that helps you make decisions without relying on conscious reasoning or analysis. It’s a kind of inner guidance that can come in the form of a little voice inside of your head, a gut feeling or a sensation in your body.

Intuition is believed to be our subconscious mind that draws from past experiences, emotions and knowledge to provide us with insight or understanding that goes beyond our conscious awareness. Recently, I have heard it explained as all of the information we take in but don’t put through our filters. While I believe this, I also believe it comes from our subconscious connection to the Universe, or whichever name you choose for it, be it God, Source Energy, pure consciousness or oneness.

We are faced with decisions every day of our lives but some of these are bigger and more difficult than others, and that’s when we consult friends, family and experts to help us with our decision, but you will notice that the majority of the time, you already know the answer, you’re just looking for someone to agree with you, someone to tell you that you’re making the right decision and when they give you a different answer, you’ll go and ask someone else. This is because your intuition has already given you the answer.

You are so much stronger, and so much more powerful than you think. We all have these amazing abilities and strengths as people, it’s just that some of us tap into them more than others, and some of us don’t even know about them.

I have been working really hard on my skills as a transformation coach and the most valuable thing that I have learned is that my job as a coach is just to guide my client to their answer. The answer they have within themselves.

You have all of the answers, even if you have to sit with yourself for the week. That’s one of the gifts that come with my ADHD, I am generally able to make decisions very quickly and then I stick to them…but that can be scary.

So here are 3 ways to help you to start tapping into your intuition:

Practice trusting yourself: One of the biggest barriers to accessing your intuition is self-doubt. Learn to listen to your feelings and think more deeply about what they are and what they could mean. The more times you trust yourself in a situation, the more you will build the habit and the easier trusting yourself will be.
Pay attention to your body: Your body will give you very strong signals to help you navigate your life, feelings from excitement right through to warnings of danger. Learn to pay attention to the feelings you experience. Once you start to understand what you’re feeling, you will notice all of the hidden messages your body is giving you.
Test it out and keep score: If you’re worried you might make mistakes trusting yourself, test it out on small things first. Keep a journal. This will help you build confidence in your guidance system.

So many times during my career my gut has told me what to do, and so many times it has been so different from the normal that I just can’t fathom listening to it, especially when I am always told “that’s not the way to do something”. But every single time, without a doubt, months or even years later, new ways of thinking and doing things start to evolve and it’s generally the way I saw things years ago. So now I push myself to go against the grain when my intuition tells me to.

Open up and trust yourself, there is not another single person on the planet that cares more about you and your life than you do. Your intuition has got your back more than anyone else on this planet. It’s the best guidance system you will ever have access to… and it’s free! Start developing it and you’ll see just how amazing you are!
