Have you ever found yourself looking to someone else for answers—whether it’s a friend, a mentor, or even society—before considering what you truly want? Every time we give our power away, every time we hesitate to make a decision without outside validation, we’re reinforcing a belief that someone else knows what’s best for us. But the truth is, deep down, we already know. The real key to embracing your intuition? Trusting Yourself.
Why We Struggle to Trust Ourselves
If trusting our intuition was easy, we’d all be doing it, right? But it’s hard to trust what we don’t even recognize. Intuition isn’t something separate from us—it is us. It’s that inner knowing that quietly nudges us in the right direction. The problem is, we’ve been conditioned to second-guess ourselves.
From a young age, we’re taught to look outside ourselves for guidance. Parents, teachers, society—all well-meaning—often encourage us to follow the “right” path, even if it doesn’t feel right for us. Over time, this chips away at our ability to trust our own judgment. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or disconnected from your intuition, it’s likely because you’ve been taught to trust everything except yourself.
Reclaiming Your Inner Knowing
The good news? Trust is like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets. And the simplest way to start strengthening that trust is through daily practice.
Here’s an exercise to put into action today:
- In every situation, big or small, pause and ask yourself: What do I want to do? What feels right for me?
- Instead of immediately seeking input from others, sit with your own answer first.
- If doubt creeps in, remind yourself: You are fully capable of making decisions that align with your highest good.
When I started doing this in my own life—trusting that I could choose what was right for me, no matter what others (even those closest to me) thought—everything shifted. My intuition became clearer, and my ability of claircognizance (clear knowing) started to reveal itself in ways I had never experienced before.
A Deeper Way to Strengthen Your Intuition
If this resonates with you and you’re in Michigan, I have an event on Thursday, February 13, 2025 6pm-8pm est, designed to help you understand and develop your intuitive abilities. Whether you’re new to this or already working on deepening your connection, this event will guide you in recognizing and trusting your own psychic senses. If you’re ready to stop dismissing yourself and start embracing your intuition, I’d love to see you there.
Final Thoughts
Your intuition is already within you. It always has been. The question is: Are you willing to trust it? Today, give yourself the gift of choosing what’s right for you—without hesitation, without apology. The more you trust yourself, the louder and clearer your intuition will become.
Sending the best vibes your way,
