Work Your Intuition to Achieve Your Goals!

What is intuition?

“Intuition (is) perception via the unconscious” – Carl Gustav Jung

Intuition is the inner-dialogue, the gut-instinct, the everyday hunches that we get, and it communicates to us through our feelings, emotions, dreams, signs and synchronicities. The right-brain manages the subconscious mind, the emotional intelligence, the creative and intuitive senses, while the left-brain is the conscious mind, processing rational and intellectual information.

Intuition is not accessible to just the spiritually inclined or part of a religious domain or even a cult. It’s the sixth sense that we're all born with. According to German psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer, author of  “Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious,” intuition is available to both men and women equally. As we grow older, we shut this ability down due to societal judgments and expectations, and we place our focus on our rational and intellectual minds instead. However, intuitive skills can be regained and enhanced through regular use.

Are you agonizing over a decision for the best way forward with a work project? Will the new employee you’re about to engage be a good fit? Maybe you're at cross-roads in your career? Or relationships are a challenge – how do you choose associates, friends or partners? What do your instincts convey to you when you’re in a dialogue with other individuals or on meeting someone the first time?

Quiet the mind and focus on the question at hand to allow the intuitive messages to surface; turning the volume down of the inner critic that’s steeped in peer taunts and societal labels, is essential – this allows you to discern the intuitive messages from the dross. You're describing intuition when you say, "I can't explain it but it feels right" or "I knew it somehow" or "… and then I saw the solution clearly!"

Intuition is an additional resource to the logical, rational mind - harnessing your intuition and integrating it with linear thinking allows you to make informed decisions and wiser choices. When you allow your intuition to guide you, you achieve your objectives effortlessly - like a puzzle, the pieces fall in place.

Isn’t it time you tapped into your intuitive capabilities?
