  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Today, we are talking about intuition and I'm actually came
• 0:35
  up with this concept of recording this one because I
• 0:38
  have a client who asked me about it recently and she said I'm so
• 0:41
  confused because I hear so many different versions in my head
• 0:44
  and I'm not quite sure. What is the, what is the truth?
• 0:47
  What is the intuition? What is my head just getting in
• 0:50
  the way and I thought it would be worthwhile for me to address
• 0:53
  here because I'm sure she's not the only person that has this
• 0:56
  happening and I know I have it happening.
• 0:58
  So I think as a human being You run into that quite a bit.
• 1:03
  So what is intuition? And, and yes, we all have it.
• 1:07
  We all have that. And we often refer to it will
• 1:09
  say, you know, I need to think about something.
• 1:12
  You know, you're in your head, you're pondering all of the
• 1:15
  stuff. But then we have these very
• 1:17
  distinct moments where we say, well, my gut tells me to go with
• 1:21
  this and we, as human beings. It's so funny.
• 1:25
  How we can identify it's coming from two different places.
• 1:29
  One of them is coming from her. Ahead.
• 1:31
  And one of them is coming from our gut, our heart, if you will,
• 1:35
  some people say that's the communication of the Soul, it's
• 1:39
  your tether to God. It's whatever you believe, but
• 1:43
  there is definitely a distinct difference in the feeling and
• 1:48
  this is where people get hung up.
• 1:49
  Because sometimes, they don't want to trust that piece.
• 1:52
  Or they'll think I have to go off.
• 1:55
  Their brain, gets in the way and they go into the thinking
• 1:57
  process and they have to go. Well, I have to go Eight that or
• 2:02
  often when people go through something.
• 2:04
  They'll say, hey, I knew, I knew all along I knew in my gut, I
• 2:09
  knew I wasn't supposed to do that, and I did it anyway
• 2:13
  because I thought it was the right thing to do for advancing
• 2:16
  my career or, you know, getting to this other place or whatever
• 2:20
  it might be, they'll discern it. They'll actually sit there and
• 2:24
  say, I knew it wasn't the right thing.
• 2:25
  I knew I shouldn't have gone in that direction, and I did it
• 2:29
  anyway. So, how do you cultivate your
• 2:34
  intuition, so that you are capable of using it more readily
• 2:39
  and not feeling like, it's throwing you off, if you will.
• 2:43
  I think the most important part of the process is to pause.
• 2:48
  When you are in a situation of pausing, and you just put
• 2:53
  yourself on hold for a second and you pull back.
• 2:56
  You can tell where the emotions are coming from.
• 3:00
  You can I'll wear the Those are residing if you will if they're
• 3:05
  in your body or if they're in your head and if that frenetic
• 3:09
  energy that anxiety, the Panic, whatever it might be is showing
• 3:14
  up. A lot of times that's an
• 3:17
  indicator you're in your head and a lot of times now, nothing
• 3:21
  is definitive. I can't stress that enough.
• 3:24
  Nothing is definitive with this, but a lot of times anxiety is
• 3:28
  coming from your head, from the sense that it's, it's telling
• 3:33
  you what you better did it, uh, and it's not clear thinking, I
• 3:37
  mean, I think we can all agree on the fact that most anxiety is
• 3:41
  not coming from a place of clear thinking, it's From a place of
• 3:47
  uncertainty and trying to control a lot of things which is
• 3:51
  never ever helpful. That's why hitting the pause
• 3:54
  button, is so important and putting yourself in a place
• 3:56
  where you can actually stop and think about your words, your
• 4:00
  actions and your, your Direction moving forward.
• 4:05
  If I had to say one thing that I think ties you into intuition
• 4:10
  more than anything. It's being able to pause,
• 4:14
  collectively, catch. Your breath, putting yourself
• 4:17
  into a state of getting centered.
• 4:22
  And then choosing there is always power and pausing and
• 4:28
  taking the time to collectively. Catch your breath.
• 4:32
  It doesn't take very long. It just takes the time to be
• 4:36
  able to get yourself centered. So for some of us, we can get
• 4:38
  centered very quickly and some of us takes a little bit longer,
• 4:42
  sometimes it can take up to a day.
• 4:43
  I mean there are times where I will say to my husband, listen
• 4:46
  I'm going to need to think about this and it's going to take me a
• 4:48
  couple days and I will collectively put Cell phone
• 4:52
  ahold where I will say, I'm not capable of making a decision
• 4:55
  right now. Or as I say to my clients in the
• 4:58
  current state that you're in, you're not qualified to make a
• 5:00
  decision for yourself because you're too emotional right now
• 5:03
  and you're not listening to your intuition, your listening to
• 5:06
  your brain. So you got to go and say, okay,
• 5:08
  for the next 24 hours, I'm going to put myself on a pause and I'm
• 5:13
  going to collectively take in all the information from my head
• 5:17
  and my gut. And then I'm going to process
• 5:19
  through it and that is is the most powerful position to be in
• 5:23
  because you've said to yourself, I take the pressure off.
• 5:26
  I'm not going to force myself to make a fast decision and do
• 5:29
  something that isn't right for me.
• 5:32
  So your intuition is always there.
• 5:35
  It's you being able to tap into it and get the other crap out of
• 5:39
  the way from your head, just get the other noise out of the way,
• 5:44
  push it up to the side and get collectively.
• 5:47
  Centered pause, how it whatever amount of time you think you?
• 5:51
  To pause and then listen to it. And I will say this, and I think
• 5:57
  that this is probably one of the most difficult lessons, I had to
• 6:02
  learn often times. Our intuition is not the loudest
• 6:07
  voice, okay, important distinction.
• 6:10
  It is not always the loudest voice in our head, sometimes it
• 6:14
  is 100%. It is, I mean, will my son had
• 6:17
  an accident and he was little and he was in a swimming pool
• 6:20
  and he Went to the bottom. My intuition was to jump in that
• 6:25
  pool and I didn't even think about it.
• 6:26
  There was no pause, it took over and I think in those situations
• 6:30
  it does take over, but on a daily basis, our intuition is
• 6:34
  more subtle. It's a little more reserved, it
• 6:36
  stays in, pulls back. And you don't need to jump in
• 6:40
  the pool on those moments. When it's whispering to you, you
• 6:43
  still need to hear it but it can't get to you if you're not
• 6:47
  pausing enough to listen to it. So don't be afraid to pause.
• 6:51
  Listen to all of it and then move forward.
• 6:55
  I hope this was helpful and I hope you guys have an
• 6:57
  outstanding day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 6:51
  Listen to all of it and then move forward.
• 6:55
  I hope this was helpful and I hope you guys have an
• 6:57
  outstanding day and I will see you tomorrow.
