Radical Intuition — A 30 Day Trial

Over the past few weeks I’ve been feeling a little disconnected to my intuition. Here I am, an intuition coach, and I didn’t feel like I was fully utilizing my intuition.

Sometimes I would get an intuitive hit, but would delay action on it. I would hold onto the hit until I felt like I had time, and sometimes I wouldn’t even act on it at all.

It didn’t feel right. It felt like hypocrisy.

It felt like I was lying to the world about who I was and what I really stood for. It felt like I was lying to myself when I didn’t honor my intuition, a gift I’ve been given and have worked hard to develop and hone.

When I was going through various trainings, I was taught that part of utilizing my intuition included learning how to turn it up and down.

Learning how to plug in and unplug.

I still feel this may be important when I go into crowded places, since I’m an empath, but overall, this approach doesn’t resonate with me. I love my intuition.

I have yet to have a situation where I followed my intuition on 100% faith where I ended up worse off than I was before. It’s even saved my life.

I have had situations where I ignored my intuition and ended up worse off than I was before.

When I was thinking about it, it seemed obvious.

Intuition + Listening = Better Life

Intuition – Listening = Worse Life

I started playing with the idea of using my intuition in a new way.

Instead of tuning in once or twice a day, which I don’t do consistently anyway, what if I simply stayed tuned in? What if I never turned my intuition “off”? What if I took a radical approach?

What would happen if I consulted my intuition before every action, large or small? Would that be giving my power away? Or would I be surrendering to a higher purpose?

What if I tried it just for one day? That surely couldn’t hurt.

So, I did.

My Day of Listening

I woke up and stretched, then asked, “What’s the best thing I can do right now?” The answer came, “Clean the kitchen.”

Yes, I tune into my intuition and it wants me to clean the kitchen. But it’s only a day, and the kitchen did need to be cleaned.

I cleaned it, then took out the trash, did laundry, and quite a few other tasks that were all very mundane. I don’t even remember them. I listened to Philospher’s Notes while doing all these things, which was a great way to distract my critical mind.

If left to its own devices, my mind likes to pick apart everything and look for all the places where there can be improvement.

There are times when this is very helpful and even invaluable, and during this day of listening, the job wasn’t to evaluate performance, but to perform. To engage in each act as fully as possible.

At the end of the day, I felt such a lovely sense of peace and well-being doing all the small acts that I decided to do the same thing the next day, just to see what would happen.

The day was wonderful again, even though my intuition seemed to have me doing small, menial tasks again.

It felt good to be living in integrity with my intuitive knowing, and I’d like to explore it further.

Radical Intuition

For the next 30 days, I’ll be continuing this experiment. I’ll continue asking my intuition what to do next in between each activity, and then I’ll honor whatever comes up. I’ve never done anything like this, and I have no idea where it will lead, but I do know that it will be a fascinating journey. I’ll share the fun stories, and I’ll show you how it’s changing my life.

Maybe my growth will inspire you to live one day with your intuition as your guide.

    I like it. My most recent “basic” intuitive hit that I ignored was around getting a backup outfit ready for an interview I had to attend. I planned to wear a dress with tights, and I had three pairs of tights available, so I figured I had a backup plan in place already. I dismissed the nagging thought that I really needed to iron a shirt to wear with a pair of pants. The feeling kept recurring over several days, and I kept ignoring it, even double-checking the dress itself to make sure there were no stains or holes on it.

    Well, the morning came to get dressed for the interview. Then, not one but TWO buttons popped off the dress as I prepared to put it on! No time to sew, and no sewing kit available. I smoothed out my dress shirt as best I could and went to the interview wearing the backup outfit I’d already been “told” I needed. Sigh!

    Looking forward to reading about the results of your trial. 🙂

    It always amazes me how many little things our intuitions guide us to do. 🙂

    Thank you, and I’ll be updating everyone regularly. I have a feeling there will be some interesting stories soon.
