You’ve formulated a pressing question for your intuition to answer. You’ve quieted your mind sufficiently to hear the whisper of an answer. You’ve asked your intuition the question expecting an answer. How do you capture intuition’s quiet answers? Intuitive Listening is Like Fishing
Do you know how to call on your own intuition whenever you need it? Are you creative? Your Creative Solutions Many people quickly dismiss the thought that they are creative or that they can receive a useful insight just by calling on their own intuition whenever they need it. But those same people also do just that on a regular basis without even thinking about it. How do they do it? We all work at jobs with challenges. New issues regularly arise in our work requiring new solutions.
Intuition is a most valuable guide when it is strong and reliable. But intuition has defied scientific study, perhaps because it is different from the five human senses that are the starting point of scientific inquiry.
“The disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come.” ~ Urantia Book Why do we get paid for the job we do? Because we routinely solve whatever problems are presented in our work. But, in addition to the problems we solve in our work, life daily presents us with personal problems. The cumulative effect of the problems we solve in life and at work can produce anxiety—that vague feeling that something is always wrong, that the next disaster lurks around the corner. Here are three proven strategies to help dispel anxiety. Strategy #1: Write down a list of your worries.
One of the greatest misconceptions about intuition is the notion that you have to wait for an inspiration to decide come to you, that you can’t simply ask your inner voice for an intuition whenever you need it. Have you ever tried to simply ask for an intuition just when you needed it? Before your mind starts to form a “no” answer to that question, think of a situation at work where you were presented with a problem that you didn’t immediately know how you were going to solve, but that you ultimately did solve. What did you do? Did you give up?
What do I do now? Many ask themselves this question when they are presented with a new challenge to which they must respond. And many go to the well of their intuition to ask for an immediate answer to this important question: what do I do now? Adjust Your Attitude But how do you do that? How do you go about getting useful guidance from your intuition just when you need it? Throughout history people have enjoyed the benefits of receiving useful information from their intuition just when they needed it simply by asking for it in the right way.
How do I know if an inner message I received contains the highest wisdom for me? Throughout history, and nearly every day in the news, there are stories about people who did odd, or terrible, things because of what voices in their head told them to do. Why does this happen? Intuition literature suggests that this happens for two reasons: 1) the people haven’t disce ed the message received, or 2) the message received was distorted by passing through a darkness or other distortion in the filter of their own minds.
Endless wars in oil-rich lands. Oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. Through-the-roof electricity bills in our all-electric house. And we live in a spot where the sun shines brightly most days of the year. “Why don’t we look into solar?” she says. We call the local rep for a national solar distributor, and he emails preliminary information. The signature block on his email recites two interesting bits of information: “The earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the world uses in a whole year.” and “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy.
Who actually believes in intuition? Intuition in history.
Intuition often comes to us unbidden, suddenly providing an answer that we have been seeking, but hadn't consciously asked for. But is it possible to incorporate intuition into our writing? Can we really get important insights into solving a writing problem just by asking our inner voice questions? Identify the writing issue. Let me give an example from the writing of my latest book, Ask Your Inner Voice.
When the world celebrated the October 13, 2010 release of the 33 trapped Chilean miners, little note was taken of the key role that intuition played in the drama. A search from half a mile above using outdated maps.
Before you say to yourself, “Oh, I’m not really intuitive,” think about these ten ways that you regularly rely on your intuition without even thinking about it: 1. Sense of being stared at. Did you ever find yourself standing in a line and get the feeling to turn around for no reason? And when you did, you found that someone was absent mindedly staring straight at you and quickly looked away? Where did that feeling come but from intuition? 2. “Give me a moment. It’ll come to me.”
How do you want your day to go? “How is your day going?” is a question we often ask each other. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself “How do I want my day to go?” In other areas of our lives, we do ask such questions. In marketing, for example, professionals identify the business they most want to have by identifying their “ideal client,” and they do this by identifying their ideal client’s demographic type, attributes, likes, habits, and other typical indicia. Why can’t that also work to identify your “ideal day?” Ideal client profile.
