Have you ever made a decision that everyone else thought&nbsp; <br \/>was crazy, but you knew was right for you..and it worked out&nbsp; <br \/>perfectly? Have you ever followed your gut instinct on something and&nbsp; <br \/>was proved gloriously RIGHT! If any of these have happened to you, you&nbsp; <br \/>have experienced the power of intuition. Most of us at some stage wish&nbsp; <br \/>we could have an inner guide that would tell us the right thing to do.&nbsp; <br \/>The good news is that we do have an inner guide, the bad news is that&nbsp; <br \/>the message can be fuzzy!<\/p>\n<p>Benefits of being guided by intuition<\/p>\n<p>So what are the benefits of following your intuition as opposed to&nbsp; <br \/>listening to the promptings of parents, partners and others? First of&nbsp; <br \/>all, this begins to give you confidence in your own judgment. It helps&nbsp; <br \/>you judge whether this person or opportunity is the right one for&nbsp; <br \/>you?even if it may not seem so on paper. Secondly I have never met&nbsp; <br \/>anyone who regretted following their intuition. Yes it may have meant&nbsp; <br \/>making a difficult decision but it WAS the right ultimate decision for&nbsp; <br \/>them. Many great business deals have been gone through on a hunch?or&nbsp; <br \/>intuition?<\/p>\n<p>Developing your intuition<\/p>\n<p>1. Recognition: I have relied on intuition for making most of my major&nbsp; <br \/>decisions but I still have difficulty sometimes distinguishing between&nbsp; <br \/>it and just a passing thought, so here are some guidelines I use?<\/p>\n<p>a. Feeling: What&#8217;s the feeling around it? If it&#8217;s gentle that&#8217;s&nbsp; <br \/>usually a sign of intuition. Something that is fear-based and urgent&nbsp; <br \/>is not intuition.<\/p>\n<p>b. Persistent: You find that you keep having the same thought about&nbsp; <br \/>something, check it out.<\/p>\n<p>c. Messages: You find that the issue crops up again in all sorts of&nbsp; <br \/>ways..it gets mentioned on the news, you hear it in passing&nbsp; <br \/>conversation.<\/p>\n<p>2. Trust. So after you have got these messages and confirmation, if&nbsp; <br \/>you wish to use this, you actually need to do something about it. You&nbsp; <br \/>must learn to trust this feeling. Follow promptings and see where they&nbsp; <br \/>lead you?<\/p>\n<p>3. Openness: Be open to where intuition can lead you. One thing I can&nbsp; <br \/>promise you..is that you will be surprised and delighted by where it&nbsp; <br \/>leads you..<\/p>\n<p>4. Sometimes it doesn&#8217;t mean anything. This is one thing I have&nbsp; <br \/>noticed about being guided by intuition. Sometimes hunches and gut&nbsp; <br \/>instincts don&#8217;t actually seem to mean anything?but we don&#8217;t know that&nbsp; <br \/>until afterwards?so accept that you may have the odd intuitive red&nbsp; <br \/>herring!<\/p>\n<p>So this week begin paying attention to your hunches. Call that friend,&nbsp; <br \/>read that book, make that call?and who knows what delightful things&nbsp; <br \/>could come to your door..<\/p>\n<p>About The Author<\/p>\n<p>Anne Walsh is a life coach based in Co.
