NOTICE THE DOUBT AND FOLLOW ANYWAY: LESSONS IN INTUITION

NOTICE THE DOUBT AND FOLLOW ANYWAY: LESSONS IN INTUITION

Just this morning I was realizing how great it was that my Inner Guidance (IG for short) had kept me from making plans for next weekend, because as it turned out, they weren’t going to happen for me! And that’s a good thing.

I kept thinking that I should firm up the plan, make arrangements, change schedules, etc, and I kept not doing it. I could feel that I wasn’t avoiding, I was waiting. I know the difference. I was noticing the doubt and following anyway. And I also know that my ego will try to convince me to do the logical thing.

I know that waiting is a sign that some things are not in place yet. I know that waiting is an act of trust. And I don’t even have to know what I’m trusting except the beneficent unfolding of life. I’m trusting that the Universe is a friendly place…like Einstein said I’d have to decide about that issue. It’s different from avoiding, which means I don’t want to, and am pretending I do, and then not doing anything about it…ya know?

I have learned to trust my IG implicitly. There have been so many dramatic instances of FABULOUS opportunities happening, or FABULOUS people or experiences coming into my life when I followed my IG that I recognize the feeling and have built trust in that IG system inside of me. And oftentimes, my ego will still try to pull me away with logic and reason. Not buying. Not any more.

How about the time that my husband and I were in the process of finalizing plans with the architects to do a major remodel on our home and I found myself wandering around looking at houses and condos on the water. Huh? I had no idea what I was up to and why. I just followed my IG. Again, I was noticing the doubt, the lack of logical understanding and following anyway.

The end of that story is that we shelved the remodel plans, told the architects to roll up the plans and send ‘em to us, and yes, we bought a condo on the water! We hadn’t planned it but had been talking and dreaming about “on the water, second story, tennis courts, boat yard, woods, pool, etc etc” for a long time. The Universe was listening, led me to it through my IG, I listened and we surprised even ourselves with how quickly we acted when I looked through the publication I had picked up at the grocery store and saw the ad for that condo…”38 units on 24 acres of hardwood hammock on Florida Bay…” Bam!! I KNEW that was our condo!

The realtor showed us around the place, and we looked at each other and laughed--that knowing laugh that we both knew meant ‘done deal, crazy done deal! And it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made in a split second….second only to deciding to be together from the moment we met. That’s another IG story if ever there was one!

I can teach you how to tune in, tap in, turn on, and trust YOUR Inner Guidance and navigate around ego’s attempts to seduce you away with logic.

Or maybe YOU have an amazing IG story to tell me!! Bring it on!

Wishing that all your dreams come true…or better!
