Often it\u2019s that little voice inside you and before you can follow it your conscious mind jumps in and gets you to do what it thinks is best. That\u2019s where most of us get tripped up.<\/p>\n<p>The simple solution is to simply follow that little voice when ever it speaks. But because of all the chatter that goes on in your head, it\u2019s easy to miss that little voice.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s a solution<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Follow Your Intuition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of trying to hear that little voice a better option would be to tune out all the chatter so that the little voice which is your intuition becomes more apparent, maybe even louder and definitely more clear.<\/p>\n<p>Often the chatter in your head is a series of negative thoughts and negative self-talk. They prevent you from hearing that little voice or your intuition.<\/p>\n<p>So if you can stop the chatter or turn it down a few notches you\u2019ll be able to hear your intuition more clearly and be able to follow it more easily.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to turn down that chatter.<\/p>\n<p>Meditate. That\u2019s the best solution to turn down the chatter and turn up the voice.<\/p>\n<p>The goal behind meditating is to quiet the mind and connect with your higher power. I feel meditation is so powerful I have all my students who use with my Creating Power course work with a special short meditation to quiet their mind and connect with their higher power. It\u2019s all part of a process for developing their intuition.<\/p>\n<p>Your intuition is connected to your higher power. It\u2019s connected to everyone and everything in the universe. That\u2019s why it can guide you and help you.<\/p>\n<p>Your intuition knows what\u2019s best for you, knows how to help you, knows how to help you get what you want sooner, all you have to do is ask it for guidance and then wait the answer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Get Intuitive Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The simple way to get guidance from your intuition is to just ask. That\u2019s all you have to do. Then listen for the answer<\/p>\n<p>What ever it is you want your intuition can help you get or accomplish quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<p>To ask simply state what you want, then let go, and finally trust and believe that you\u2019ll get your answer. Most people don\u2019t trust and believe. They think they consciously know better and so they never get the intuitive guidance they want.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve actually received intuitive guidance more often than you realize.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example: how many times have you lost your keys? And then found them in a place that you were sure you checked? You found them because at some point you asked for your keys when you said something like: \u201cWhere are my keys?\u201d You let go when you were about to give up and said something like: \u201cWhat\u2019s the point, I think I\u2019ll just use the spare set.\u201d Then something told you to check somewhere and there they were, right in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had that happen many times.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently I had dropped my kids to school and because they\u2019re young I walk them right in. I came back out, reached into my pocket, had my key fob but no key on the end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the?\u201d I thought. I opened my car door looked for the key on the floor, under the car, went back into the school and all the while kept saying: \u201cWhere is my key?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally I let go and figured I\u2019d find it when I find it, if ever. I went into the school and asked if they found a key to let me know. Then I called my wife and asked her to bring her set so I could get to an appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Minutes after I hung up, I found the key and I could have sworn I checked the exact spot it was in.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t see it the first time because I was to anxious and wasn\u2019t connected with my higher power. My conscious mind was doing all the searching and only when I let go and said: \u201cI\u2019ll find it when I find it.\u201d And asked my wife to come over and asked the school to let me know if they would find it. A part of me figured it would turn up somewhere, that\u2019s where I trusted my higher power.<\/p>\n<p>We all do this for small things and we forget that we\u2019re actually connecting with our higher power and intuition.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you can get help from your intuition for the big things like getting a new job, meeting someone, making more money, finding a new home, anything you want.<\/p>\n<p>When you ask for guidance for the bigger things you need to have more patience and trust that your intuition will guide you.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to develop your intuition is to start with the small things and then go for something bigger and bigger or more important.<\/p>\n<p>Think about something you\u2019d like to find.<\/p>\n<p>Ask by simply saying: \u201cwhere is &#8212;-?\u201d Start looking and then trust and let go by saying: \u201cI know it\u2019s here somewhere. Okay, I\u2019ll find it when I find it.\u201d Then go do something else. You\u2019ll get a message to go check somewhere and you\u2019ll find it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay Attention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Intuitive guidance can come from many sources. It\u2019s not always that little voice. Your spouse could say something that helps you, a friend might make a suggestion, you could hear something on the radio or see something on television so be open to receiving guidance from many sources.<\/p>\n<p>You just have to pay attention<\/p>\n<p>Your intuition is always working for you always guiding you.<\/p>\n<p>Tap into the power of your intuition and you\u2019ll get the guidance you want.<\/p>\n<p>Work with the exercises I shared and let me know how things turn out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many times have you said something like: \u201cI should have listened to that little voice\u201d?
