Why You Should Use Your Intuition Today

Most people unfortunately only turn to their intuition when faced with uncertainty around a major life decision. It becomes a “last resort,” when reason and logic have yielded only unsatisfactory solutions to the issue at hand. Without any prior experience in using intuition as a tool, we want to know whether to enter into or leave a marriage, to quit a career, or to move half-way across the country.

This is a little bit like announcing that we are going to take up running, and we’re going to start with a marathon as our first race – next week! Obviously, our body is not conditioned to take on such a challenge. And, most likely, the results of attempting such a race without prior training would be quite damaging.

Similarly, starting our intuitive journey in order to solve one of life’s really big questions can lead to unhappy results. If we are in a state of mental uncertainty, emotional upheaval, and spiritual unrest, it is unlikely that we will be able to truly receive accurate information when we haven’t yet cultivated and trained our intuitive abilities. The best place to start applying our intuition is with life’s small choices, where our emotional investment isn’t so great.

We usually don’t give life’s small choices much consideration. We tend to do what we feel we have to, what others want us to do, or what we are used to doing. And yet, the majority of our life is shaped by the small decisions we make, every day. Whether you spend your lunch hour browsing in a book store, or having lunch with a friend, can have a profound impact on your life. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to choose to spend your lunch hour in a way that uplifts you and moves you forward on your path of growth and evolution? Wouldn’t this change the quality of the rest of your day? Wouldn’t you come home in a better mood, and relate differently to your family? Would this perhaps lead to more uplifting interactions and inspiring conversations?

Our intuition offers us the opportunity to bring awareness to the seemingly small choices that shape our life experience. We learn how to tune in to the path that leads to our greatest growth and fulfillment, not just in the long-term, but in our every day circumstances. And when we are secure in receiving accurate intuitive guidance in our every day choices, we are ready to rely on our intuition in life’s big decisions, also.
