Feel the Feeling

You can only enhance your intuition through experience. As children we unknowingly experience emotions. Without context, and without the language to describe these experiences, these emotions are just that - indescribable emotional experiences. When we get older, we learn the words to describe them, we can lean into these emotions and suddenly these indescribable childhood experiences have context. We can touch the feeling, we can acknowledge the feeling. This is like the experience of looking for a new car. At first, you don’t know you need a new car, then you do and you start researching cars. Suddenly, the cars you saw online are everywhere. With emotions, the more you learn, the more you experience. The more your experience, the better able you are to identify your emotions as they occur. So as we continue to grow and experience people and places, we are absorbing our external environment and connecting it to our internal experiences, both past and present. This is how to develop your intuition.

Now that we have the ability to describe those situations from our childhood, don’t get caught in shame and blame. Our number one priority as children was to survive. The choices we made as children were ones that would support our ability to survive. If we lived in environments that made us choose options that we would not choose as adults, this is because we weren’t adults.

Remember this.

You were not an adult.

You were small, and the world was big.

You were scared, and the world was scary.

Do not let your own self-judgement stop you from continuing to develop your internal experience.

You can only enhance your intuition through experience.
