Intuition is a buzzy word these days. Everyone is always saying “follow your gut” or “follow your intuition” but what does it really mean? How do you figure out how intuition speaks to you?

You think you’re receiving inner guidance, but is that really the voice of your intuition? Or is it fear? It can be challenging to discern between the two voices if you don’t have practice. So here are some tips and suggestions to help you learn how to tell the difference.

First off, let’s get this out of the way. We all have intuition. Yes, including you! It’s a skill that we are all born with. If you feel like you don’t have it, it’s just because you haven’t been taught how to recognize it. It’s a process of discerning the thoughts that flow in and out of your head.

The best way to start developing your intuition is to listen to the voice for the little things in life. It can be as simple as listening to the nudge to go a different route to work, or choosing to drink tea rather than coffee in the morning. 

Whatever that small voice is telling you to do, follow through. Act from a place of trust and courage, instead of scarcity and fear of the unknown. The more you practice listening and taking action on your intuitive guidance, the more you begin to understand the energy of it. 

Another way to strengthen your intuition is through sleep. It can help you connect with your spirit guides and tap into your psychic abilities. The latter is something that I don’t experience, but for some out there, this is when passed loved ones may communicate with you or predictions come to you. Completely normal. Even though it may seem a bit crazy, we are all psychic. Not weird or strange at all. 

If you think about it, who you are today is based on a past version of yourself. A story that you have told yourself over and over each day. But when you listen to your intuition and choose to take the uncomfortable, sometimes illogical, actions you begin to expand into your future self. 

Another interesting thing happens when you develop your intuition. Your intuition evolves into your psychic abilities. What I like to call the clairs.

Are you ready to stop doing what you think you should be doing and start doing what you truly desire?
