Connect to your Intuition

Your intuition is your superpower. Connecting to your body to start creating a life aligned with it is one of the greatest ways to truly take advantage of our unique potential and gifts.

By living aligned to our intuition, we create realities and circumstances tailored to our specific skills, passions, and strengths.

When we are living in alignment with our best selves, we express ourselves most authentically and bring out our strongest and best energy forward.

We already have our true strengths and God-given gifts deep within us. We already know what sparks the most passion and interest within us. It’s time to dig inward and bring them to the light.

A Pressure-Driven Society

We live in a fast-paced, high-achievement society. There is a constant pressure to do more, achieve more, and improve ourselves constantly.

In pursuit of achieving and being more, our focus so heavily goes to trying to improve our weaknesses and change ourselves to be better, while slowly neglecting our realization and development of our true inner strengths.

This heavy focus on weakness can weaken us. It creates a sense of inadequacy in many people deep down. These feelings dim the ability to be creative and flow naturally. They inhibit the energy we are designed to have by nature.

In addition, external societal pressure disconnects us from our true desires while heavily pursuing these achievements, competing, improving, and outworking ourselves for external motivations…we run the risk of building dreams that don’t truly belong to us nor align with our greatest potential.

Take a reality check with yourself. Are you truly living to your truest purpose?

Claim your dreams and your life back!

In this post, I will be sharing easy-to-follow ways to activate and strengthen your connection to your intuition to start creating your dream life.

The Change Starts Now

You can start living aligned to your most authentic self and create your dream life…no matter your circumstances.

It is possible for anyone.

It is a process, and very beautiful journey that we all can choose to go through by being intentional and aware. The stronger of a connection we create with our intuition, the easier it becomes to build your dream life.

There are infinite ways to get to one destination. This is the beauty of life! We have the ability to be flexible, and it is in the process of activating our inner creativity that ultimately paves our life and purpose for us.

Break the patterns of allowing life to happen to you. Take reigns of your daily routines to start moving toward your passions.

And last, remember to focus on your strengths. Doing so will open doors up for you that would not be available to anyone else.

3 Keys to Optimizing Your Alignment

Just as you would provide nourishment, attention to a plant, you must provide that that same nourishment to your body and thoughts.

The following practices are self-care for the soul.

Tending and nurturing your focus and energy will strengthen your connection to your intuition to start helping you pave a journey that aligns with what will bring out your best.

Activate

What you focus on, develops.

The more developed something becomes, the more opportunity opens up for it.

Every ounce of focus directed toward your goals activates your subconscious mind to start developing them.

The subconscious process is passive. It always works behind the scenes to make connections, formulate new solutions, and generate new ideas.

When you activate your subconscious mind to focus on your dreams, your dreams will start to put themselves together.

Clarity and answers are revealed more and more as you move toward your goals.

Thus, knowing the hows are not required!

Exposure

Activate your subconscious mind to focus on your goals frequently!

Something as simple as exposure is highly effective. Exposure naturally awakens your inner creativity and ability to see things you would not have otherwise.

Exposure activates novelty.

New ideas and visuals create new neural connections; they rewire the brain to start thinking differently – this is especially important when challenging and overcoming limiting beliefs!

Some ways to create exposure toward your dreams:

Vision boards
Visiting your dream destination, or a form of progress toward it
Sampling
Test-driving, or Touring
Taking courses on your topic of interest
Setting up coffee dates to learn from someone who has succeeded in your endeavor

Bring your goals to you. Come up with your own creative ways to expose yourself to your goals—this is key.

The more tangible and within reach they become, the more creativity you begin to spark within yourself to believe in, and make them your reality!

Silence your limiting beliefs about your goals—teach your body a brand new reality!

Be Intentional With Priorities

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. We all also have a finite amount of energy. How are you using these precious resources?

Move your goals and dreams up your list of priorities. Even if you aren’t exactly sure if you’re taking the right steps, or moving in the right direction—work with what you got. With exposure, ideas will naturally arise. As you progress, you will course-correct and refine your trajectory.

Set your priorities first so that you do not get mindlessly pushed around by life. Own your reality!

Turn Ideas into the Physical

Physically write out your goals.

The more physically tangible they are, the more you solidify them. The easier it is to bring them to life.

You are training your subconscious to focus on your goals when you do so. It is a form of progress.

Writing your goals provides a sense of security and assurance, that you are fully intentional about making them happen.

As you write things down, you create a fertile ground for ideas. The more you write, the more they come!

The magic is in your ideas. The inspiration is there. This ultimately leads to, passion.

Ask Questions

Another great way to activate your subconscious mind and start producing new and fresh ideas and breakthroughs is through the use of questions.

When you ask a question, your body responds, searches, and innovates answers for you.

This strengthens your intuition even more.

Become curious about your dreams. What would you like to clarify? What do you want answers to?

Wait and see how your body and intuition respond.

Some examples of questions are:

What would feel so good right not to share, create or contribute?
What is a step I can take right now to move toward my dream life?
How is the dream version of me spending her time right now? How is she feeling?
What does the dream version of me feel?

These questions simply open you up to brand new possibilities and break you out of the norm.

When it comes to building your dream life, you are not supposed to have it all figured out! You’ll never get to that point. This is because we’re always growing, learning, evolving.

All that matters is that you get yourself moving.

Asking questions initiates movement that will break you out of anxieties and limiting beliefs.

Through movement, everything that you need to do to start living in your alignment starts to reveal itself.

You don’t have to do the work. The answers, the clarity, the ideas are a natural by-product of movement.

Embrace the Unknown with an Open Heart

Putting yourself in brand-new situations is one of the quickest ways to entill boldness, confidence, and overcome limiting beliefs that get in the way of making your dreams happen.

Unknown situations force you to let go of control.

Holding on tightly to what’s only an illusion of control is what limits us from growing and exploring our potential.

Novelty activates new neural connections in our brains. With novelty, the brain must form new conclusions, and insights, and adapt. This makes you flexible, resilient, and activates your inner creativity. It’s a workout for your brain.

As you create your dream life, you will in fact, be encountered with a great amount of novelty—you will be confronted with many limiting beliefs and fears. You always have the power to overcome them.

Strenghtening yourself to face the unknown make this journey much easier.

You can condition yourself to get used to facing the unknown, on a regular basis, to help train your nervous system to adapt easily.

The more you practice facing novelty, which forces you to release control, and be present and utilize more flexibility, the more you realize how capable you truly are of handling new situations.

This carries onto your dreams- you’ll be more willing to take more risk, take bigger action, and bring those dreams to life!

From now on, challenge yourself to face the unknown.

There is no right answer.

No matter what happens, and what you encounter, you learn and grow. Every experience you go through teaches you something that only adds value, and wisdom to your soul.

If you find that you have feelings of fear when confronting newness, just remember this:

There are infinite ways to approach and handle life and succeed.

There is no right answer! No matter what route you take, every decision brings you closer to success.

It is safe to take action and it is safe to make mistakes.

Rest

It is essential to make the space for recovery and to clear mental/emotional clutter every time you are in the process stretching your body and mind.

As you take new actions to create your dreams, your energy is heavily used. Your mind is making new connections and forming new ideas.

Remember that you are growing. To challenge your current beliefs and reality is a big deal!

Make the time to rest.

Give your subconscious the space to restore and process all of this new input.

You will burn it’s beautiful creative abilities away, if you overwork yourself. It will become cluttered, and stressed; your subconscious thrives when rested.

Rest should be a Consistent and Regular practice.

Many of us make rest the last resort; after we’re burnt out and tired. This hinder the growth and results you could potentially make.

Make resting a regular practice.

Even at the slightest twinges of tiredness, take some time to close your eyes and allow the nervous system to calm down.

Even 5 minutes of downtime for the body can restore amounts of energy that can make a difference.

If you have a hard time resting, use a timer. Timers are wonderful for providing structure and allowing you to let go of further responsibilities, to hone in and really focus on letting go.

The more frequently you rest, the more you restore the best parts of you. You maintain positive and healthy emotions within.

It’s crucial to keep that energy alive.

Optimize your creative abilities through rest.

Make Progress and then Walk Away

The intuition and subconscious become powerfully activated given space to process.

It is healthy and necessary to regularly detach from your progress.

This is what empowers even more growth.

Think of your goals as a plant. After watering, nurturing, and tending to them, they then need the time to grow on their own. You cannot do the growing. It’s entirely their own process.

Give space to clear the clutter.

When your mental noise is quieted, creativity is born.

Your intuition and subconscious will surprise you beautiful ideas and breakthroughs when you least expect them.

Engage in activities that you enjoy. After investing quality effort and focus into progressing in your dreams, this is an excellent time to reward!

Partake in leisure activities, socialize with loved ones, and let it go.

Once you come back, you will feel so much more refreshed, and energized. This is the beautiful energy your goals need to thrive!

Wait

Be patient. Don’t try to force answers or solutions.

Trust in your body to develop the clarity you need in the right timing.

The clarity come from the body, not the head.

The strongest breakthroughs and growth will be in the form of a gut feeling. You will feel the clarity; not ‘know’ it.

This ultimately is how you train yourself to utilize your subconscious mind, and let go.

The more you can practice listening body; leaning back and allowing your subconscious to do the work, the easier it becomes.

Practice exercising your intuition; the next time you have to make a decision, lean back and feel into what your body is telling you. If it isn’t quite clear yet, give it some time, and trust that the clarity surely will surface.

There is so much magic in waiting.

Consistency

The last vital component to strengthening and optimizing your intuition is Consistency.

Consistency creates a fertile ground on which progress grows and thrives.

The requirement is simple: you only need to show up.

Be careful not to hold yourself back from taking action with the chains of perfectionism.

Nothing needs to be perfect to progress. Improvement, refinement, and clarity are the natural by-products of consistency.

Remember that imperfection will never go away.

There will always be something that needs to be worked on.

Focus on what’s in front of you, what’s currently in your control—the rest will take care of itself.

If you ever find yourself beginning to go down what is an endless rabbit hole of perfectionism, use this affirmation:

“I will beautify what’s right in front of me. I release the rest. As I beautify the present, the mess around will clear on its own“.

And it certainly does. The more progress that is made, the more everything pieces itself together. As we move forward, we reveal new opportunities and solutions. We can only experience the answers through movement.

It will have to take awareness at times, to catch ourselves. The problem with perfectionism is that it is a creative block- it clogs our flow.

Understand that, we’ll never get it all done. This is a gift! Life will always have novelty and mystery- this makes it so exciting.

Remind yourself of this frequently, and keep on showing up.

Lastly, choose a range of consistency that works best for you.

If all that you can reasonably stick to is 30m to focus on your craft per day, keep it at that range.

Less time that is consistent is much MORE valuable than a large chunk that is inconsistent.

In fact, with more frequent exposure to your goals, your are putting them forward in the forefront of your mind. The stronger the emphasis of your goals, the more passionate you become about them. This passion that is consistently fed, will energize you to naturally want to do more!

You may find that you are more inspired, and get more immersed, when it is time to focus.

Even on the most challenging days, you still have the minimum goal of consistency reached, and have still experienced exposure to them, to keep them alive.

This is all it takes.

Summary

Connecting to your Intuition is the most powerful way to unlock your dreams and make the most beautiful and aligned progress for you.

In an achievement-obsessed society, we can break free from the stress and inadequacy it imposes by tuning in from within.

Make a conscious choice daily to intentionally choose where your focus goes.

You can choose to focus on activities that bring out your most powerful force; your passion.
