I talk a lot about the benefits of tuning into your intuition. All the positive results of ramping up your connection – self-confidence, self-trust, and fulfillment. But sometimes, in order to understand the true value of our intuition, we have to recognize the “red flags” that we’re ignoring it.
Your ‘Gut’ is Literally Screaming at You
You’ve heard of “gut feelings”. But the term is usually associated with things like butterflies and flutters in your stomach. But do you feel tightness and discomfort in your gut – especially in less-than-favorable situations? That’s your intuition begging you to pay attention. It’s sending you warning signals. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away, either. Trust me – red flags never turn green. It will continue to reach out – louder and louder – which can lead to actual physical discomfort in your gut.
You Feel All Over the Place
Being ‘all over the place’ can encapsulate a lot – but if you experience a constant,recurring feeling of imbalance in your life, you’re likely ignoring your intuitive power. When we’re tapped in, we are comfortable setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and taking care of our entire selves. When we sleep on taking care of ourselves, it’s natural to feel scattered and unsettled.
You’re Repeating Unhealthy Patterns
We all fall into unhealthy patterns – whether it’s not eating well, not getting enough sleep, not setting boundaries in our relationships, not taking enough time for ourselves… the list goes on. Most of us can recognize it, but we have a hard time finding a way to break the cycle. While recognition is important, taking action is paramount.
When we’re disconnected from our intuition, it’s a challenge to pause unhealthy patterns. Mainly because we’re not addressing them in the moment. Strengthening our connection allows us to be in the present, where we can make decisions based on our instincts in moments. Without that awareness, it can feel impossible to break those patterns – despite the fact we know we need to.
You’re Fearful To Leave Your Comfort Zone
Are you stuck in a job that doesn’t fulfill you – but you’re afraid to change course? Are you in a relationship that’s not fulfilling your emotional needs, but you’re too comfortable to change it?
It’s a hard truth – but it’s real. We get stuck in thinking our comfort zone is safer than making moves towards what’s best for us. Your intuition can help with that! A strong connection with ourselves is what gives us the unbridled confidence to tackle new challenges and take on new risks. What’s the saying? “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
Deciding to explore your intuitive connection is a powerful journey – and not an overnight one. Be kind to yourself as you begin growing your self-connection. Your intuition is not an overnight fix or a temporary solution – it’s a permanent mindset shift that opens up an entirely new way of living.
