How to Strengthen Your Inner Knowing & Trust Yourself Fully
Are You Actually Listening to Your Intuition?
How to Strengthen Your Inner Knowing & Trust Yourself Fully
Hello Awakening Souls,
You’ve felt it before—the quiet knowing.
🌿 The whisper that told you something was off, even when everything looked fine.
🌿 The gut feeling that pulled you toward a choice you couldn’t logically explain.
🌿 The deep, unshakable certainty that came before a major life shift.
That’s your intuition. Your inner compass. Your direct line to truth.
But here’s the real question—are you actually listening to it?
So many of us ignore our intuition because:
❌ We second-guess ourselves and look for "proof."
❌ We wait for outside validation before trusting our inner knowing.
❌ We let fear convince us that logic is safer than alignment.
The truth? Most of us were taught to downgrade our intuition to imagination. We brush off intuitive hits as "just a feeling" or "overthinking"—until we realize, in hindsight, that our intuition was right all along.
🔥 Think back to the last time you ignored your intuition. Close your eyes for a moment and recall that experience. How did it feel in your body?
For me, ignoring my intuition feels like:
💫 A tightness in my stomach, almost like nausea.
💫 A pressure in my arms, like someone is gently shaking me.
💫 An overall sense of distress and disconnection.
Because that’s exactly what happens when we ignore our intuition—we disconnect from ourselves.
And here’s the kicker… The more you ignore your intuition, the quieter it gets.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment—this is your invitation to come back to your inner knowing.
🔥 1. How to Know If You’re Ignoring Your Intuition
Your body and energy will always tell you when you’re out of alignment.
💡 Signs you’ve been tuning out your intuition:
✅ You constantly feel stuck or indecisive.
✅ You overthink even the smallest choices.
✅ You ask everyone else for advice before making a decision.
✅ You feel exhausted, disconnected, anxious, or "off" without a clear reason.
✅ You keep ignoring red flags—whether in relationships, work, or life.
🔥 If any of these sound familiar, your intuition is speaking—you just haven’t been listening.
I remember when I first heard this quote from Intentional Living by John Maxwell:
"Prayer is when we talk to God. Intuition is when God talks to us."
The moment I heard that, my whole body went on high alert. I was driving home from a jobsite, and suddenly, I felt it—a deep hum under my skin, a knowing that I was never alone.
Intuition is not random. It is guidance.
🔥 2. Why We Struggle to Trust Our Inner Voice
💭 "But what if my intuition is wrong?"
💭 "What if I make a mistake?"
💭 "I need to see proof before I can trust myself."
These are fear-based thoughts, not intuition.
🌿 Your intuition doesn’t shout—it whispers. It’s calm, steady, and grounded.
Here’s why most people ignore it:
🛑 We’ve been conditioned to value logic over instinct.
Society teaches us that rational thinking = safety.
But true wisdom comes from integrating both logic AND intuition.
🛑 Fear hijacks our decision-making.
The ego craves certainty, but intuition requires trust.
Fear says, "What if you fail?"
Intuition says, "What if you fly?"
🛑 We’re too distracted to hear it.
Constant noise, social media, and mental clutter drown out our inner voice.
Intuition speaks in stillness. If you’re always in motion, you won’t hear it.
🔥 The moment in my car? That was an awakening. A quiet nudge saying, "It’s time to listen now."
That moment led me to study coaching, to go deeper into this work. Your intuition will always lead you where you are meant to go—if you let it.
🔥 3. How to Strengthen Your Intuition (And Actually Listen to It)
Step 1: Get Quiet & Create Space to Receive
🌿 Your intuition won’t compete with distractions.
🌿 Practice daily stillness—through meditation, breathwork, or simply sitting in silence.
🌿 Journaling prompt: "What is my intuition trying to tell me today?"
Step 2: Feel It in Your Body
Intuition is not just a thought—it’s a sensation.
💡 When something is aligned, you’ll feel:
✔ Lightness, expansion, ease.
✔ A deep knowing without needing logic.
💡 When something is NOT aligned, you’ll feel:
❌ Tightness, resistance, heaviness.
❌ A subtle discomfort, even if it "looks good on paper."
🔥 Next time you make a decision, check in: Does this feel expansive or contractive?
Step 3: Act on It Without Needing Proof
🚫 Stop waiting for outside validation.
🚫 Stop ignoring the signs.
🚫 Stop letting fear override your knowing.
🌿 Your intuition is like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
I used to need three nudges before I’d trust myself. One day, a friend said, "Your guides are getting frustrated. Stop waiting for the third nudge!"
I hadn’t even told them about my pattern. That was the moment I realized—intuition is a two-way relationship. The more you trust it, the louder it speaks.
🔥 4. Your Intuition is Your Superpower—Start Using It
🌿 The answers you seek? They’re already inside of you.
🌿 The clarity you crave? It’s waiting for you to trust yourself.
