I hear a number of clients say, “My intuition told me what to do, but I didn’t listen to it.” One client couldn’t figure out why she didn’t listen to her intuition, while another knew why. There’s always a reason.
Two main reasons why people ignore their intuition are doubt and fear. They doubt that the intuitive messages they receive are true or will come true. It could be routine information, such as your intuition whispering, “Watch where you step.” It’s protecting you from tripping over someone or something and suffering an injury. Or it could be lifesaving information, such as your intuition shouting, “Don’t get in the car with that driver!” It’s protecting you from a dangerous person looking to harm you or a good person whose careless driving will lead to a serious accident.
People also fear what their intuition communicates to them because it isn’t detected by their physical senses or it changes what they believe about people, places, and things–about themselves. For example, you believe a dear friend will help you take care of errands when you’re sick. Your intuition warns, ”They won’t call you or show up.” If they’ve always been there for you, you won’t believe it until it happens that way. The truth shall set you free and can make you miserable at the same time.
If this applies to you, why do you ignore your intuition?
