  • One of the biggest problems we face in society is that we’ve been taught not to trust ourselves.
  • Lack of trust in ourselves leads to a disproportionate amount of overthinking and indecisiveness.
  • So many decisions to make, What if I’m wrong? What if I make a mistake? What if I fail?
  • Indecisiveness and overthinking comes from a lack of clarity on what direction you want to move in. It comes from a lack of sincerity in yourself.
  • Being performance oriented will get in the way of your intuition because it attempts to please others or present you in a different light than you truly are.
  • Learn to listen to the voice of your unconscious mind. It is the quite voiceless voice that is more of a feeling and at the very most a whisper.
  • Ask yourself: What do I really want? Is that really it?
  • Your unconscious mind (intuition) will answer immediately. The voice isn’t loud and won’t attempt to convince you but it will make itself known via emotion. 
  • Detach from the outcome and be willing to be wrong.
  • Decide on what you really want and go there! Have an aim and purpose in why you want to move in that direction.
  • Use emotions like a compass. If your intentions aren’t in the right place, you’ll know. Something will feel off even if you’re doing “the right thing.”
