  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Apparently Raven wants to say good morning as well.
• 0:34
  Today I want to talk to you about intuition and we all have
• 0:39
  intuition. It's all part of our built in
• 0:41
  systems. Not all of us cultivate it quite
• 0:45
  in the best way of that we possibly could by acknowledging
• 0:49
  that we have it in ways and saying, hey, I'm going to work
• 0:52
  on using this as much as I can. In fact, some of us are afraid
• 0:55
  to use it. And that's actually why I
• 0:56
  brought it up today. Because I've had a lot of people
• 0:59
  as of late tell me that they felt like they had those
• 1:03
  intuitive moments, but that they were back.
• 1:06
  They backed off. And they are like, oh, I should
• 1:08
  have listened to myself, but they didn't.
• 1:10
  And then there was this question of like, well, I didn't listen
• 1:13
  to myself. And then therefore I set myself
• 1:16
  up for failure. And I I think it's kind of
• 1:19
  interesting because we all have the ability to do it.
• 1:22
  We all have the ability to call on intuition.
• 1:24
  We all have the ability to recognize it.
• 1:27
  But do we actually, you know, cultivate it?
• 1:31
  Do we actually work on it? Do we actually use it to the
• 1:34
  fullest extent that we possibly can?
• 1:36
  And that answer is a big no. We don't necessarily do that.
• 1:40
  Part of the reason is it's not coveted like it used to be.
• 1:44
  Many, many years ago. You know, there was a time in
• 1:47
  this world where intuition was something that people were
• 1:50
  really focused on, and they they coveted the tool of having it.
• 1:57
  And some people had very, very, very high senses of it.
• 2:01
  And other people had, you know, lower senses.
• 2:05
  But it really isn't because they didn't have the same level.
• 2:08
  It's just it hasn't been cultivated.
• 2:10
  So how do you cultivate your intuition?
• 2:14
  Well, the first thing is you've got to believe that you have it.
• 2:17
  In order to cultivate it, you've got to believe it's a part of
• 2:19
  your hard wiring, and you've got to believe that you can tap into
• 2:24
  it and make it something for yourself.
• 2:27
  As soon as you start doing that, everything changes because you
• 2:31
  can stop and pause and take in the fact that, OK, I'm getting a
• 2:35
  message, I'm feeling something about this and I'm and I'm
• 2:39
  working towards having this be a tool I can I can tap into
• 2:45
  regularly. So if you don't use something,
• 2:49
  you lose it. I mean, that's a pretty standard
• 2:51
  operating procedure and I think we all know that if you don't
• 2:54
  use it, you lose it. Whether it's your body working
• 2:58
  out, muscles, whatever, don't use it.
• 3:01
  It goes away. Intuition is absolutely the same
• 3:04
  thing. And we'll be a little we
• 3:06
  actually have a lot of intuition, and it guides us a
• 3:09
  lot. And then as we get older, we
• 3:11
  start to not trust ourselves as much.
• 3:13
  And the more you don't trust yourself, the more your ability
• 3:16
  to trust yourself starts to escape.
• 3:19
  It's part of intuition. As far as I'm concerned, it's
• 3:21
  all one big ball of wax. So the very first thing that you
• 3:26
  can do to correct this is to start asking yourself, you know,
• 3:31
  what is my divide it out into your in your thought process and
• 3:35
  say, well, my head is telling me this and my heart is telling me
• 3:38
  this. For some people they like to use
• 3:39
  head and heart. For some people they like to use
• 3:41
  Well, my mind is saying this and my gut is saying this.
• 3:46
  Some people will say, you know, I feel in the pit of my stomach
• 3:50
  and they know something is right or wrong.
• 3:53
  They know where they are with something.
• 3:55
  So you have to start just honing in on those small little clues
• 4:00
  that show up in your life where you can tap it and say, ah,
• 4:04
  wait, I I recognize this. This is something to me that I
• 4:07
  should pay attention to. Now, in the beginning, you're
• 4:09
  not going to probably trust it as much as you should.
• 4:13
  Nine times out of 10, our gut is right.
• 4:16
  When our gut sends us a message, it's right we don't always
• 4:20
  listen to it because we're so stubborn.
• 4:22
  We want to believe that our head is better than our heart.
• 4:25
  But quite honestly when you're when you're on it and you're
• 4:29
  dealing with that, it is usually spot on that your heart is going
• 4:35
  to give you stare you in the right direction.
• 4:37
  But the trick is you have to really listen to what it's
• 4:43
  saying. Because sometimes we'll have
• 4:45
  this like my heart wants something to work, but behind
• 4:47
  the scenes you're just like, I just, I just know it's not going
• 4:51
  to work out and you just know you shouldn't do something.
• 4:54
  You know there's a something in there that says even though it's
• 4:59
  right there, well, that's where it gets tricky because you have
• 5:02
  to discern is that message a true message?
• 5:05
  Is it something that's muddled with what's going on in your
• 5:08
  head? And is all that muddled
• 5:10
  conversation confusing you as to is it coming from your
• 5:13
  intuition? Is it coming from your
• 5:17
  analytical thought? What?
• 5:18
  What pot is it coming out of? So that comes into that place of
• 5:24
  getting super aware of what's going on, super aware of your
• 5:27
  thoughts. Sometimes it's really helpful to
• 5:29
  sit down and write it all out because when you put it on
• 5:31
  paper, it seems to get so much clearer.
• 5:34
  You know that old school way of doing something where you draw a
• 5:37
  line down in the middle of a piece of paper and you say pros
• 5:40
  and cons? You know, you can do that same
• 5:42
  type of exercise with the my heart and my head, my gut and my
• 5:47
  mind. You can do that, and it really,
• 5:49
  really helps. So this little conversation is
• 5:53
  meant to put you on the path of working, to cultivate it, build
• 5:56
  the skill, allow yourself to have the skill and allow it to
• 6:00
  grow, grow, grow. Because the more you have of it,
• 6:02
  the more it will guide you in, the more it you will be able to
• 6:05
  use it in the way it was meant to be, where you are tapped in
• 6:10
  and you are using it regularly in your daily life.
• 6:13
  So I hope you guys have a blessed day.
• 6:16
  I hope you use your intuition today to make some great
• 6:18
  distinctions for yourself and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 6:21
  Bye.
