BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE FIRST

We all have it but how well do you use yours? Intuition is your gut feeling, that magical sense in each of us that can act as guide if you choose to listen to it. It often comes to us in those 'aha' moments, those sudden flash of insight. Intuition is what you have got when you pay attention to your unconscious mind. When you get in touch with your intuition, you connect with what you really want in life, and follow that true sense of direction that confident people have.

Tuning into your intuition

Listening to your intuition can give you valuable information about what is really going on for you at a deeper level. When you listen to your inner self, you become connected with the energy within your body - physically, spiritually and emotionally. Your intuition may not always give you the 'right' answer, but it can be incredibly powerful to work with rather than against it. Your intuition can help you to:

• Make sense of a situation
• Achieve your goals
• Find new ways around problems
• Improve your decision making abilities
• Notice things that need your attention

So how do you know when your intuition is kicking in? Usually its when you find yourself thinking: this is strange, how bizarre, or what a coincidence. You may get an insight that you are letting go of the rational and logical thoughts and just going with what feels right.

Listening to your inner self

You can release your intuition by using your imagination to think about problems in a completely different way. When facing a challenge try this approach:

1. State the issue to yourself
2. Let go of the facts and quieten your rational mind
3.Sit in silence without interruption for 15 minutes
4.Open yourself to the intuitive thoughts and insights that come to you

You may become aware of visual images, sensations in your body, or a connection with a particular person or place.

5. Allow your analytical mind to wake up and get to work on the intuitive thoughts

The more you practice this technique the more in tune you will become to your inner self.
