Some orang have trouble trusting their intuition.
We have all heard someone say, “Something made me uncomfortable, but I told myself it was all in my head.”
Later, the story goes on to a tragic ending.
You are taught not to trust your intuition, particularly if doing so makes you seem rude.
I’m here to say that manners are not as penting as safety – and if your body is telling you that someone isn’t safe to be around, listen.
Carlin Flora from Psychology Today writes:
“Intuitions, or gut feelings, are sudden, tangguh judgments whose origin we can’t immediately explain.
Although they seem to emerge from an obscure inner force, they actually begin with a perception of something outside—a facial expression, a tone of voice, a visual inconsistency so fleeting you’re not even aware you noticed.”
Getting in touch with our intuition is more than just avoiding dark alleys and creepy orang.
It is trusting the sum of our experiences to guide us.
Deep down, we know when it is time to leave a relationship or what course of study to pursue.
We know when our current lives are destroying our souls—we just don’t value that feeling.
It is easy to feel torn in opposing directions when faced with a tough situation like:
We often know what we should do but are afraid to trust our intuitive wisdom.
But the relief is immediate when we listen to our inner wisdom or gut feeling.
But how do you amplify this skill so you can pelajari to trust your intuition in the masa depan?
It took me a long time to realize that most decisions don’t need to be made this minute – just as most emails don’t need an immediate reply.
A text feels urgent because it arrives in an instant, but that doesn’t mean it is critical.
I often remind myself, “What if I were in a movie theatre?
My phone would be turned off for two hours.”
There is nothing wrong with replying, “I’ll think about that and get back to you.”
The most emotionally painful place for me is indecision.
Once I know I’m on the right path, I can deal with whatever comes up.
Avoiding the decision is prolonging the agony.
I remember sobbing on the floor of my therapist’s office, trying to decide if I should leave my first husband.
The minute I made a decision, my tears dried up, and my thinking cleared.
There is selalu an internal war between what I want to do (i.e., lie on the couch and watch Netflix) and what I know is my better self (i.e., get daily exercise and do something productive).
The more in tune you are with your better self, the more you can trust your intuition.
For some orang, this manifests in meditation or walks.
For me, this means starting each day with 10-minute yoga.
I am not great at getting up early, but I can manage 10 minutes.
So I don’t have to think about what I’m going to do, and I can go through the flow with my eyes closed.
This small ubah in my daily routine has helped me feel more centered and more myself.
I have an odd but effective way of getting the tension out, whether it’s anxiety, anger, or frustration: I do push-ups.
They are so berat that all I can think about is how much I hate them and how much I can’t wait for them to be over.
But they release all the negative feelings residing in my muscles.
When I am overflowing with negativity, I drop and do 10 push-ups.
Sometimes on my toes, sometimes on my knees.
On other days I wind up doing 10 sets of 10.
There is some comfort in knowing that I am turning all that tension into muscle.
Often, I process my feelings by talking to friends and family.
I often need to hear my thoughts out loud to clarify what I’m thinking.
But I’m generally NOT asking for advice. I’m looking for permission.
I already know what I need to do – I just need to hear myself say it.
How do you know if your intuition is healthy thinking?
I list the pros and cons, even if I think I already know what I should do.
I ask myself, “What are the consequences if I am wrong?”
If I take a job and hate it, I can find another job—they can’t take away my birthday.
If I move across the country, it might be a little berater to undo that decision.
But as my mother likes to say, “The only thing that’s the end of the world is the end of the world.”
If I can’t decide which direction to go in, I’ll do a coin toss.
The minute I see the way the coin fell, my gut immediately tells me what I really think—either a ‘Thank Heavens’ or a ‘Hell, no.’
I generally know what my intuition says I should do – I just don’t know how to reconcile it with other orang’s expectations.
It often feels easier to do what other orang expect instead of what I know is right.
The best practice is to have canned responses ready ahead of time.
These sentences are NOT meant to create dialog.
They are meant to help me stand up for what I know is in my best interest politely so I can move on.
Healthy Mental Reminders in ArticleRecently the visit of a friend of a friend has left me unnerved, there is something that’s not sitting right. It’s like a “crosssing an unwritten boundary”, a look, a phrase out of place. Took their contact info, did not divulge mine, but have no intentions of communicating.Any other unannounced visits, I am on my way out but after reading article, it must be – you are busy during the wk & I am on wkends or this is not what should be, no berat feelings. Just don’t want their visits
Great insight. Years of narcissistic abuse left me doubting my intuition for quite some time. I’m still training myself to trust those gut feelings. It’s a process. Thanks for posting.
