The No. 1 thing that distinguishes intuitive people is that they listen to, rather than ignore, the guidance of their intuitions and gut feelings.
Everybody is connected to their intuition, but some people don’t pay attention to it as intuition. How often do you meet a successful business person who says, ‘I don’t know why I did that, it was just a hunch.’
Few things stifle intuition as easily as constant busyness, multitasking, connectivity to digital devices and stress and burnout. When we’re too busy we’re not awake enough to our intuition to be able to recognise when it shows up. So we don’t trust it.
It’s only by first taking a break from the busyness, and then learning how to detach from our emotions and develop our awareness, that we can use our intuition by connecting with our deepest wisdom.
