Happy new week. This Monday I am thinking about my intuition.
My podcast is releasing an episode where the guest says all the things about this that make my heart sing. It will be out tomorrow!
My affirmation card today said: My intuition is powerful. When I am unsure, my intuition is sure. I strengthen my intuition by trusting it and responding to its impulses. I am perceptive.
I shared this in my Gold check-in at London Writers’ Salon because over the weekend my gut was speaking to me. Fellow writers shared some great reflections such as: Intuition is your cumulative experience - so when your gut is telling you something, it’s really your full life experience speaking. I also heard from another: God’s will is what brings you inner peace.
Friends, what is your relationship to your intuition? Do you listen to it? Trust it? Ignore it? Thank it?
Let us know in the thread ✨
I miss this equal-parts unhinged and adorable show
At nearing 50, I have only started really listening to it in the past ten years. It took a lot of growth and practice to be able to do so. In a talk I heard Gabor Mate give one time, he spoke about how when people experience trauma when they are children, they learn to ignore their gut because it is giving opposing messages to what the brain identifies as necessary to survival. It's why our own logic and gut often don't match. That was really eye opening (and mind opening) for me.
I will never see Pinot Noir ever again without thinking of Titus. My relationship with my intuition is all over the place these days, I'm not super in touch with it, but it does kiss some of my decisions
Re: Kimmyyyyyy! That was a hilarious show. Titus is my favorite unhinged character.
When I am on a slower pace, my intuition and I are in sync. When I want to ignore it then I know I’m off track. It took time to trust my inner knowing after so many years of silencing/ignoring it. It’s still a practice.
"But we get on pretty well with things these days". I am so happy to read that. It's all learning right? All you can do is your best and it sounds like you are doing great.

Wow, that's so fascinating and also makes perfect sense, too. Thank you so much for sharing

My gut is pretty hard to ignore, and I feel very uncomfortable if I even try. It never steers me wrong. I trust it implicitly.
Also, like the previous two commenters, I ♥️ Titus!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this for you. YES!

Titus is everything. Adore, adore, adore!
I love that "It does kiss some of my decisions", that is really beautiful.

100% Titus forever! I never knew I could love a TV character in that way until we met him.
I love that you are so aware of when it is in sync and when it isn't. That's really powerful and totally a practice. Thank you for sharing.

Such a good reminder 🧡🧡
