trust my intuition

And she loves me. This is done. The best project I ever undertook… a year of therapy, a quit job, two (5?) years of journalling, a ton of incremental risk-taking and here I am. Exactly the same, but different. This 43 things goal was just what I needed to close this quest off once and for all.

It’s been an intense couple of days – my dreams and morning pages have given some good insights. Last night I was torn between going to my swimming lesson, cracking on with my statistics assignment, or working out my feelings… and I just had this flash of insight that said review my journal. I do this every week or two and I realised I hadn’t done it. So I did – and here is my proposed way forward from my daily scribblings:

• Use mindfulness to help me be more playful
• If my intuition is not clear on something, do nothing
• Act with purpose and honesty
• Be a consistently passionate auteur
• Do the next obvious thing
• Make time to follow my curiosity
• Begin my adventure – I’ve prepared enough!
• Commit to things this year and FOLLOW THROUGH

Gosh, it’s almost a manifesto!

Trusting it is one thing, but what if I’m not getting any readings on the intuitometer? And there’s nothing to trust?

Sit still and do nothing I guess.

The thing I struggle with most is knowing how intuition fits in with the bigger picture, like major goals. If my intuition tells me a major goal needs to be dropped, do I ‘trust my intuition’, or do I ‘be disciplined’ and see it through?

Some people just seem to do this without even thinking about it. I am not one.

Perhaps my intuition will tell me :-) This feels fluffy, wooly, non-scientific, fun and kinda vital to do. Trust the process?
