Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there and welcome back to the Live Life
Unapologetically podcast.
I am your host, shannon Kaye,and today we're talking about
one of the most important toolsin manifesting, which is your
intuition.
And that really is the firstproblem that intuition is seen
as a tool because the world hasdisregarded it so much.
(00:20):
Intuition is so much more thana tool.
It's an interesting part of whoyou are, a natural connection
to the limitless universe andyour higher self.
Let me ask you this Do you everfeel torn between what your gut
is telling you and what youthink you should do?
Have you ever ignored yourintuition, only to regret it
later?
Or maybe you find yourselfoverthinking, second guessing or
(00:44):
even bargaining with yourself,trying to make your intuition
fit into what feels safe andlogical.
If you're nodding along, you'renot alone.
Trusting your intuition canfeel like swimming upstream,
especially in a world thatprioritizes logic and judgment
over inner knowing.
The thing is, your intuition isyour direct line to the
(01:05):
universe.
It is your compass guiding youtowards your desires.
When you ignore it, you createresistance in your manifesting
journey, because you cutyourself off from the very
entity of co-creation for thelife that you want, the life of
your wildest dreams.
Today is about tapping intoyour inner power, your intuition
.
So grab your favorite drink,cozy up and let's get started
(01:29):
Now.
Before we dive into why trustingyour intuition can feel so hard
, let's talk about why intuitionis such a powerful connection
for manifesting.
Manifesting is all aboutalignment.
You align your thoughts, youremotions, your actions with your
desires, and your intuition isthis built-in connection to,
like I said before, thelimitless universe.
(01:50):
It's guiding you towards thepeople, the opportunity and the
actions that are going to bringyour desires to life.
Unlike logic, which is shapedby societal norms, personal
experiences, external pressures,intuition comes from a deeper,
purer place.
It's connected directly to yourhigher self, to the universe,
(02:11):
meaning it operates beyond thelimits of your current reality.
When you follow your intuition,you're tapping into this
infinite source of wisdom andaligning yourself with energy,
with the flow, with the trust,the exact vibrations that
attract what you want.
And let me talk about wisdomreal quick, because many times
(02:34):
that we are taught that wisdomcomes from your experience.
It comes with age, it comeswith going through things.
What I want you to realize withyour intuition is it already
has the experience.
It's connected to somethinggreater than ourselves.
It's connected to, once againthe limitless universe.
The universe already knows it.
(02:54):
All Wisdom lies within it.
It is an infinite source ofwisdom.
If you listen to it, you don'thave to struggle.
You don't have to, you know, gothrough the fire to get the
wisdom.
Things in life can teach us andgive us wisdom, but it doesn't
always mean you have to gothrough to obtain wisdom,
because your intuition holds itsown wisdom beyond explanation.
(03:18):
Intuition points you todirections that logic cannot
explain.
It may nudge you to take a leapof faith, exploring an
unexpected path, letting go ofsomething that is no longer
meant for you.
And while these choices mayfeel uncertain or even
uncomfortable at first, they'realmost always the ones that lead
(03:38):
to the most aligned andfulfilling manifestations,
because when you trust yourintuition, you're telling the
universe I'm open to yourguidance, I trust you to lead me
to what's meant for me, what isbest for me.
This creates a powerful flow,allowing your desires to come
into your life with greater easeand less resistance.
See, when you ignore yourtuition or you try to
(03:59):
rationalize it away, that iscreating resistance.
Manifestation works best whenyou're in alignment, when your
thoughts, your feelings andactions all are pointing once
again in the same direction andyour intuition is that compass.
When you ignore it, you'recreating this like energetic tug
of war, telling the universewell, I want this, while
(04:20):
simultaneously pulling backbecause you don't trust the path
that you're being guided on.
Mixed signals lead to stalledmanifestations.
On top of that and I hear thisfrom women more than anyone is
that guilt creeps in.
Many women feel guilty aboutmanifesting what they truly
desire because it makes themfeel selfish or like they're too
much.
(04:40):
The guilt disconnects them fromthe intuition and it keeps you
stuck in manifesting what youthink you should want instead of
what you truly want.
And, honestly, when we'reoperating on the shoulds and
manifesting, I should want thisthere's resistance in that.
Anyway, I did honesty andmanifesting as a podcast episode
, going into these shoulds andtruly being honest.
(05:02):
Because if you're not honestand tapping into that intuition,
if you're ignoring it or ifyou're bargaining with it
because oh, I feel guilty and soyou're pushing it aside, then
you're not being honest.
That's instant resistance.
Your intuition is absolutely thebridge between you and the
universe.
Ignoring it means that you'renot fully open to receiving, it
slows you down or it blocks you.
(05:24):
Trusting your intuition can beextremely difficult, especially
if you're a woman, and there arefour key reasons for that
Societal conditioning toprioritize logic, self-doubt,
societal judgment and self-worthchallenges.
Each of these not only makes itharder to trust your intuition,
but in fact it can cut yourintuition off altogether.
(05:45):
Let's talk about each of theseand why they're a problem.
So when you're taught toprioritize logic over intuition,
it happens from a very youngage.
You're told that decisionsshould be logical, measurable
and explainable.
Intuition doesn't really lookat logical sense.
From what we know to be logical, it's a deep internal knowing
(06:09):
that often defies conventionalreasoning.
Because intuition doesn't fitinto this logical framework
that's so pounded and compoundedinto us, we are conditioned to
question our intuition or, worse, to dismiss it altogether.
Manifesting requires you to bein alignment with your inner
(06:30):
self, and intuition is thebridge to that alignment.
When you ignore or suppressyour inner voice, you disconnect
from the guidance that alignsyou with your desires.
So, instead of flowing towardsyour manifestations, you end up
stuck overthinking and analyzing.
It's like a paralysis state.
You need to create space tohear your intuition, spend time
(06:51):
journaling or meditating on yourdesires without trying to
rationalize them.
Honestly, if you are trying tohave something that you've never
had, if you're trying tomanifest something that you've
never experienced in your life,why would you try to rationalize
it based on past experiences oranything else?
You don't have the experienceto put that into place.
(07:12):
Stop trying to make yourdesires fit into old boxes.
Let your intuition be yourguide.
Your intuition doesn't have tomake sense to be valid.
Trust the inner nudge, even ifyou cannot explain it.
We're such an explaining society, are we not?
You have to explain everything.
As women, we have to explainconstant decisions.
(07:34):
Why do you choose to workinstead of stay home with your
kids?
Why do you choose to stay homewith your kids instead of work?
Why do you choose not to havekids?
Why do you have so many kids?
Why are you waiting to start afamily?
Are you going to get married?
Like everything that's going togo into societal judgment and
pressures in a minute, but likewe try to make logical arguments
of why it makes sense, insteadof just saying, because it feels
(07:55):
good to me and I know that'swhat I'm supposed to do, we have
to logically explain our wayout of it, because that's what
we've been programmed to do.
Now.
The second part of this isself-doubt, because that truly
can undermine your inner knowing.
A lot of us have been taught tosecond guess ourselves.
You may wonder what if myintuition's wrong?
Or thinking back to pastmistakes as evidence that you
(08:16):
cannot trust yourself and thatself-doubt is going to become a
block and it's going to make itharder for you to act on your
intuition because you'reconstantly second-guessing
yourself.
We know manifesting is aboutcertainty and belief.
If you doubt yourself, you'resending a signal to the universe
that says I want this, but I'mnot sure I deserve it or can
trust it, or trust myself tocreate it, and that confusion
(08:39):
once again comes back toresistance.
That slows down or blocks yourmanifestation.
So you have to actively buildon your confidence to overcome
self-doubt.
You can do that through slow,small steps.
If you need to like what to eatfor dinner or which route to
take.
You know when you're thinkingto yourself well, what should I
order for dinner tonight?
I'm an ordering person, I'mgoing to order stuff, so what
(09:01):
should I order for dinnertonight?
And if I don't go with my firstinstinct, then I will sit there
and scroll forever and not beable to decide between
restaurants Like, honestly, howhard is it?
Do I want something chickenbased?
Do I want something that has todo with beef pork?
What is it?
What am I in the mood for?
And go to that.
Those are very low stake thingsthat you can do to build your
(09:22):
confidence of making decisionsand just going with that initial
instinct, things of that naturein your life, to build up that
confidence, to overcome thatdoubt.
And then you get the burger andyou taste it and it feels oh so
good because you're trustingthat first instinct, and then
(09:42):
celebrate when those decisionsfeel aligned, to reinforce that
you trust yourself.
I'm so glad that I ordered fromWhataburger tonight because
this burger on this Texas toastwith all the stuff I want on it
just really hit the spot.
You trusted your instinct.
Now here comes societal judgmentand pressures.
This is the third thing for youto justify your choices.
And that kind of kicks intonumber one where you're trying
to do logic over your intuition.
But we feel, as women, the needto explain our decisions to
(10:04):
others, I think, more thananything, especially when those
decisions do not align withsocietal norms or expectations.
And this absolutely leads tobargaining with your intuition
to try to make it fit intowhat's acceptable or reasonable
instead of what feels good toyou what feels good, what feels
true to me.
(10:26):
For the longest time when I wasin and I'm not going to lie I
gave into the pressure, but notfor long.
When I was in education,everybody said you need to go
into administration, you need togo into administration and I'm
like that's just not where Iwant to be, I don't want to be
there.
Eventually I let the pressureget to me and I was like fine,
whatever, I guess this is thelogical next step.
(10:46):
But I had to justify why Ididn't want to be in
administration.
Then when I went, I wasmiserable and I went back to the
classroom.
Then I had to justify why andexplain why I went.
I basically demoted myself backto a lesser position or a lower
position, but I thought it wasthe best position because the
other stuff didn't make me happy.
And we do this with ourselvesand we do things based on
(11:09):
judgment or pressure.
You should want to move up.
You should want to keep going,climb the ladder, so to speak.
How can you just be happy whereyou are?
Then I have a friend who shedid want to be in an
administration.
She's an amazing principal andshe climbed the ladder and
people had something to sayabout that too.
It's like you can't win forlosing, and so we sit here and
bargain with our intuition allthe time, and I'm going to be
(11:31):
honest with you guys you can'tdo that Like we have to let that
go.
Manifesting requiresauthenticity.
When you let socialexpectations dictate your
choices, you're stepping out ofalignment with your true self,
and the universe responds to whoyou are, not you trying to
please others.
Practice making decisionswithout justifying them to
others.
Start small.
(11:51):
Say no to something that youdon't want to do or yes to
something you do want to dowithout explaining it at all.
One of the things that I did tohelp move past pressures and
explanations and just doingthings that felt good is I found
the do not disturb button on myphone and I would put it on
anytime I did not want to bedisturbed.
I love the do not disturbbutton on my phone.
What decision can you make thatyou don't have to justify to
(12:13):
others?
And then we come to self-worth.
If you have low self-worth,that is going to block your
connection to your intuitionevery single time.
How you feel about yourself.
If you don't feel worthy ofyour desires, it's incredibly
hard to trust your intuition.
You may hear your inner voicesaying go for it, but
immediately you shut it downwith well, I don't deserve that,
or who am I to want that?
(12:35):
Manifesting requires a deepbelief in your worthiness.
If you don't believe you'reworthy of your desires, you're
subconsciously blocking yourselffrom receiving them, ignoring
your intuition.
When you ignore your intuitionbecause you don't feel worthy,
it really becomes a defensemechanism to avoid
disappointment.
I've talked to several peopleand they've told me you know,
(12:57):
I'm scared to really ask forsomething because I fear being
disappointed.
What if it doesn't come to pass?
What if I'm trying to manifestsomething and I don't get it?
And so we shut down because wedon't want to be disappointed,
we don't feel worthy ofreceiving it.
There comes this like nudge ofoh, you're probably going to be
disappointed.
Who are you to have that?
Start rewriting your self-worthstory.
(13:19):
Use affirmations I am worthy ofall the good things life has to
offer.
My desires are valid anddeserving of fulfillment.
I don't owe an explanation toanybody.
I am worthy to receive simplybecause I exist.
That's one of my favorite onesfor worthiness I am worthy to
receive simply because I exist.
When it comes to worthiness,we've been taught like you know,
you have to be so good to beworthy and that if you're bad or
(13:42):
you do something wrong or youmake a mistake, you're not
worthy.
And what do I always say?
There are assholes out herethat have so much wealth and
they're complete assholes.
It has nothing to do with gooddeeds, receiving abundance and
wealth.
It has nothing to do with gooddeeds.
It has everything to do with doyou just believe you're worthy
because you exist?
Those people out there whoaren't the definition of what a
(14:03):
good person is.
They still have what they wantbecause they feel worthy to have
it.
And when you don't feel worthy,you're not going to listen to
your intuition.
So I need you to really work onthat and your worth and stop
basing your worth on a checklist.
That's one of the best things Ithink you can do is don't base
your worth on a checklist.
Once again, I am worthy simplybecause I exist.
(14:24):
There's nothing you need to doto be worthy.
When you address these fourchallenges, you're really
clearing the resistance that iskeeping you disconnected from
your intuition.
Each time you quiet youroverthinking trust yourself, you
stop justifying choices, youbuild on your self-worth.
You're strengthening theconnection to your inner voice.
This is the work that we focuson in the foundational portion
(14:47):
of my Manifest Sheet coaching,because intuition is one of the
most powerful avenues formanifesting and learning to
trust.
It is a skill that you canbuild.
When you release the noise ofsocietal expectations and
self-doubt, your intuitionbecomes a clear guide, helping
you to align effortlessly withyour desires.
(15:08):
The more you trust yourintuition, the easier
manifesting become, becauseintuition isn't just a feeling.
It's your soul's way ofcommunicating what's truly
aligned to you.
So how do you start to begin torebuild the trust?
How do you tune out the noise,release the guilt, connect with
your inner voice?
The first step is awareness.
(15:30):
Start noticing when you'reoverthinking or second-guessing
yourself.
Ask yourself am I ignoring myintuition right now and why am I
doing it?
Awareness helps you to identifyblocks so you can start to
release them.
So, for instance, if you arescared of disappointment, am I
being scared?
I'm going to be disappointed,and that's why I'm discounting
(15:51):
it.
That's why I'm scared to moveforward.
One of the things that I thinkis so powerful is creating a
space to actually hear yourintuition.
In my opinion, meditation isone of the best ways to do this.
Meditation quiets externalnoise.
It helps you to reconnect withyour inner self.
Even five to ten minutes a daycan make a massive difference.
(16:12):
I've said it before and I'llsay it again I started with
meditating seven minutes everysingle day.
It's now an hour a day.
It makes such a difference.
When you meditate, you're notjust calming your mind, you're
creating space for yourintuition to come through loud
and clear.
Some of my best ideas, the mostcreativity I have, my aha
(16:35):
moments come in meditation, whenmy inner voice, when my inner
self is allowed to come throughloud and clear, because I have
let go of all of those racingthoughts and I can truly connect
and hear without distraction.
Before I leave you today, I wantto give you two exercises you
can choose from this week tostart to reconnect to your
(16:57):
intuition, to your higher self,to the direct line, to the
limitless universe.
The first one is a gut check.
I want you to take a fewmoments, close your eyes and
focus on your breathing.
Think about a decision or adesire you're manifesting.
Place your hand on your heartor on your gut, wherever you
(17:19):
feel your intuition lives, andask what feels true to me right
now.
Listen to that first feeling orthought that comes.
The second thing you can chooseto do is the inner voice
journaling exercise.
(17:39):
Find a quiet space where you'renot going to be interrupted and
grab a journal.
At the top of the page, writewhat is my intuition guiding me
to do.
Let your thoughts flow withoutcensoring them.
Write as if your intuition isspeaking directly to you.
This practice helps you tobuild a stronger dialogue with
(18:02):
your inner voice and, once again, please do not censor yourself,
just let it flow.
Whatever comes out comes out.
Don't judge it, don't secondguess it, just let whatever
comes out flow out.
Both of these exercises aresimple but very, very powerful
ways to start trusting yourselfand to reconnect with your
intuition.
Once you have made thatconnection with your intuition,
(18:23):
you are going to trust it.
These are ways to build thetrust with your intuition, to
trust your gut and to follow itlike the light that it is.
Your intuition is your light.
It is going to take you on thecorrect path, where you're
supposed to go.
You may not understand it.
You may not be're supposed togo.
You may not understand it, youmay not be able to see it, you
may not be able to make sense ofit, but that's really the point
(18:46):
.
If you could see it, make senseof it, plan it, what would be
the point of your intuition?
We only know what we know.
I had a boss one time.
She was mean as hell and Ididn't like her, but one of the
things that she said that reallystuck out to me was you don't
know what you don't know.
Therefore, you don't even knowwhat to ask.
Because I was a first yearperson at this place and she's
(19:10):
like do y'all have questions?
Heck, you probably don't evenknow what questions to ask
because you don't even know whatyou don't know.
Do you see how that playstogether?
You don't know what you don'tknow, but your intuition does
and you can use your intuitionto guide you there.
If you're ready to trust yourintuition, align with your
desires, I'd love for you tojoin my Manifest she coaching

You need to create space tohear your intuition, spend time
(06:51):
journaling or meditating on yourdesires without trying to
rationalize them.
Honestly, if you are trying tohave something that you've never
had, if you're trying tomanifest something that you've
never experienced in your life,why would you try to rationalize
it based on past experiences oranything else?
You don't have the experienceto put that into place.
(07:12):
Stop trying to make yourdesires fit into old boxes.
Let your intuition be yourguide.
Your intuition doesn't have tomake sense to be valid.
Trust the inner nudge, even ifyou cannot explain it.
We're such an explaining society, are we not?
You have to explain everything.
As women, we have to explainconstant decisions.
(07:34):
Why do you choose to workinstead of stay home with your
kids?
Why do you choose to stay homewith your kids instead of work?
Why do you choose not to havekids?
Why do you have so many kids?
Why are you waiting to start afamily?
Are you going to get married?
Like everything that's going togo into societal judgment and
pressures in a minute, but likewe try to make logical arguments
of why it makes sense, insteadof just saying, because it feels
(07:55):
good to me and I know that'swhat I'm supposed to do, we have
to logically explain our wayout of it, because that's what
we've been programmed to do.
Now.
The second part of this isself-doubt, because that truly
can undermine your inner knowing.
A lot of us have been taught tosecond guess ourselves.
You may wonder what if myintuition's wrong?
Or thinking back to pastmistakes as evidence that you
(08:16):
cannot trust yourself and thatself-doubt is going to become a
block and it's going to make itharder for you to act on your
intuition because you'reconstantly second-guessing
yourself.
We know manifesting is aboutcertainty and belief.
If you doubt yourself, you'resending a signal to the universe
that says I want this, but I'mnot sure I deserve it or can
trust it, or trust myself tocreate it, and that confusion
(08:39):
once again comes back toresistance.
That slows down or blocks yourmanifestation.
So you have to actively buildon your confidence to overcome
self-doubt.
You can do that through slow,small steps.
If you need to like what to eatfor dinner or which route to
take.
You know when you're thinkingto yourself well, what should I
order for dinner tonight?
I'm an ordering person, I'mgoing to order stuff, so what
(09:01):
should I order for dinnertonight?
And if I don't go with my firstinstinct, then I will sit there
and scroll forever and not beable to decide between
restaurants Like, honestly, howhard is it?
Do I want something chickenbased?
Do I want something that has todo with beef pork?
What is it?
What am I in the mood for?
And go to that.
Those are very low stake thingsthat you can do to build your
(09:22):
confidence of making decisionsand just going with that initial
instinct, things of that naturein your life, to build up that
confidence, to overcome thatdoubt.
And then you get the burger andyou taste it and it feels oh so
good because you're trustingthat first instinct, and then
(09:42):
celebrate when those decisionsfeel aligned, to reinforce that
you trust yourself.
I'm so glad that I ordered fromWhataburger tonight because
this burger on this Texas toastwith all the stuff I want on it
just really hit the spot.
You trusted your instinct.
Now here comes societal judgmentand pressures.
This is the third thing for youto justify your choices.
And that kind of kicks intonumber one where you're trying
to do logic over your intuition.
But we feel, as women, the needto explain our decisions to
(10:04):
others, I think, more thananything, especially when those
decisions do not align withsocietal norms or expectations.
And this absolutely leads tobargaining with your intuition
to try to make it fit intowhat's acceptable or reasonable
instead of what feels good toyou what feels good, what feels
true to me.
(10:26):
For the longest time when I wasin and I'm not going to lie I
gave into the pressure, but notfor long.
When I was in education,everybody said you need to go
into administration, you need togo into administration and I'm
like that's just not where Iwant to be, I don't want to be
there.
Eventually I let the pressureget to me and I was like fine,
whatever, I guess this is thelogical next step.
(10:46):
But I had to justify why Ididn't want to be in
administration.
Then when I went, I wasmiserable and I went back to the
classroom.
Then I had to justify why andexplain why I went.
I basically demoted myself backto a lesser position or a lower
position, but I thought it wasthe best position because the
other stuff didn't make me happy.
And we do this with ourselvesand we do things based on
(11:09):
judgment or pressure.
You should want to move up.
You should want to keep going,climb the ladder, so to speak.
How can you just be happy whereyou are?
Then I have a friend who shedid want to be in an
administration.
She's an amazing principal andshe climbed the ladder and
people had something to sayabout that too.
It's like you can't win forlosing, and so we sit here and
bargain with our intuition allthe time, and I'm going to be
(11:31):
honest with you guys you can'tdo that Like we have to let that
go.
Manifesting requiresauthenticity.
When you let socialexpectations dictate your
choices, you're stepping out ofalignment with your true self,
and the universe responds to whoyou are, not you trying to
please others.
Practice making decisionswithout justifying them to
others.
Start small.
(11:51):
Say no to something that youdon't want to do or yes to
something you do want to dowithout explaining it at all.
One of the things that I did tohelp move past pressures and
explanations and just doingthings that felt good is I found
the do not disturb button on myphone and I would put it on
anytime I did not want to bedisturbed.
I love the do not disturbbutton on my phone.
What decision can you make thatyou don't have to justify to
(12:13):
others?
And then we come to self-worth.
If you have low self-worth,that is going to block your
connection to your intuitionevery single time.
How you feel about yourself.
If you don't feel worthy ofyour desires, it's incredibly
hard to trust your intuition.
You may hear your inner voicesaying go for it, but
immediately you shut it downwith well, I don't deserve that,
or who am I to want that?
(12:35):
Manifesting requires a deepbelief in your worthiness.
If you don't believe you'reworthy of your desires, you're
subconsciously blocking yourselffrom receiving them, ignoring
your intuition.
When you ignore your intuitionbecause you don't feel worthy,
it really becomes a defensemechanism to avoid
disappointment.
I've talked to several peopleand they've told me you know,
(12:57):
I'm scared to really ask forsomething because I fear being
disappointed.
What if it doesn't come to pass?
What if I'm trying to manifestsomething and I don't get it?
And so we shut down because wedon't want to be disappointed,
we don't feel worthy ofreceiving it.
There comes this like nudge ofoh, you're probably going to be
disappointed.
Who are you to have that?
Start rewriting your self-worthstory.
(13:19):
Use affirmations I am worthy ofall the good things life has to
offer.
My desires are valid anddeserving of fulfillment.
I don't owe an explanation toanybody.
I am worthy to receive simplybecause I exist.
That's one of my favorite onesfor worthiness I am worthy to
receive simply because I exist.
When it comes to worthiness,we've been taught like you know,
you have to be so good to beworthy and that if you're bad or
(13:42):
you do something wrong or youmake a mistake, you're not
worthy.
And what do I always say?
There are assholes out herethat have so much wealth and
they're complete assholes.
It has nothing to do with gooddeeds, receiving abundance and
wealth.
It has nothing to do with gooddeeds.
It has everything to do with doyou just believe you're worthy
because you exist?
Those people out there whoaren't the definition of what a
(14:03):
good person is.
They still have what they wantbecause they feel worthy to have
it.
And when you don't feel worthy,you're not going to listen to
your intuition.
So I need you to really work onthat and your worth and stop
basing your worth on a checklist.
That's one of the best things Ithink you can do is don't base
your worth on a checklist.
Once again, I am worthy simplybecause I exist.
(14:24):
There's nothing you need to doto be worthy.
When you address these fourchallenges, you're really
clearing the resistance that iskeeping you disconnected from
your intuition.
Each time you quiet youroverthinking trust yourself, you
stop justifying choices, youbuild on your self-worth.
You're strengthening theconnection to your inner voice.
This is the work that we focuson in the foundational portion
(14:47):
of my Manifest Sheet coaching,because intuition is one of the
most powerful avenues formanifesting and learning to
trust.
It is a skill that you canbuild.
When you release the noise ofsocietal expectations and
self-doubt, your intuitionbecomes a clear guide, helping
you to align effortlessly withyour desires.
(15:08):
The more you trust yourintuition, the easier
manifesting become, becauseintuition isn't just a feeling.
It's your soul's way ofcommunicating what's truly
aligned to you.
So how do you start to begin torebuild the trust?
How do you tune out the noise,release the guilt, connect with
your inner voice?
The first step is awareness.
(15:30):
Start noticing when you'reoverthinking or second-guessing
yourself.
Ask yourself am I ignoring myintuition right now and why am I
doing it?
Awareness helps you to identifyblocks so you can start to
release them.
So, for instance, if you arescared of disappointment, am I
being scared?
I'm going to be disappointed,and that's why I'm discounting
(15:51):
it.
That's why I'm scared to moveforward.
One of the things that I thinkis so powerful is creating a
space to actually hear yourintuition.
In my opinion, meditation isone of the best ways to do this.
Meditation quiets externalnoise.
It helps you to reconnect withyour inner self.
Even five to ten minutes a daycan make a massive difference.
(16:12):
I've said it before and I'llsay it again I started with
meditating seven minutes everysingle day.
It's now an hour a day.
It makes such a difference.
When you meditate, you're notjust calming your mind, you're
creating space for yourintuition to come through loud
and clear.
Some of my best ideas, the mostcreativity I have, my aha
(16:35):
moments come in meditation, whenmy inner voice, when my inner
self is allowed to come throughloud and clear, because I have
let go of all of those racingthoughts and I can truly connect
and hear without distraction.
Before I leave you today, I wantto give you two exercises you
can choose from this week tostart to reconnect to your
(16:57):
intuition, to your higher self,to the direct line, to the
limitless universe.
The first one is a gut check.
I want you to take a fewmoments, close your eyes and
focus on your breathing.
Think about a decision or adesire you're manifesting.
Place your hand on your heartor on your gut, wherever you
(17:19):
feel your intuition lives, andask what feels true to me right
now.
Listen to that first feeling orthought that comes.
The second thing you can chooseto do is the inner voice
journaling exercise.
(17:39):
Find a quiet space where you'renot going to be interrupted and
grab a journal.
At the top of the page, writewhat is my intuition guiding me
to do.
Let your thoughts flow withoutcensoring them.
Write as if your intuition isspeaking directly to you.
This practice helps you tobuild a stronger dialogue with
(18:02):
your inner voice and, once again, please do not censor yourself,
just let it flow.
Whatever comes out comes out.
Don't judge it, don't secondguess it, just let whatever
comes out flow out.
Both of these exercises aresimple but very, very powerful
ways to start trusting yourselfand to reconnect with your
intuition.
Once you have made thatconnection with your intuition,
(18:23):
you are going to trust it.
These are ways to build thetrust with your intuition, to
trust your gut and to follow itlike the light that it is.
Your intuition is your light.
It is going to take you on thecorrect path, where you're
supposed to go.
You may not understand it.
You may not be're supposed togo.
You may not understand it, youmay not be able to see it, you
may not be able to make sense ofit, but that's really the point
(18:46):
.
If you could see it, make senseof it, plan it, what would be
the point of your intuition?
We only know what we know.
I had a boss one time.
She was mean as hell and Ididn't like her, but one of the
things that she said that reallystuck out to me was you don't
know what you don't know.
Therefore, you don't even knowwhat to ask.
Because I was a first yearperson at this place and she's
(19:10):
like do y'all have questions?
Heck, you probably don't evenknow what questions to ask
because you don't even know whatyou don't know.
Do you see how that playstogether?
You don't know what you don'tknow, but your intuition does
and you can use your intuitionto guide you there.
If you're ready to trust yourintuition, align with your
desires, I'd love for you tojoin my Manifest she coaching
program.
Together we work on quietingthe noise, building your
(19:31):
