~Using intuition to get unstuck!
When you're stuck on a difficult problem or challenge, the rational mind can only produce the same solutions and hit a wall. This is where intuition – the wisdom of your heart can offer a breakthrough.
Intuition feels like a "gut feeling", an insight that arises from a deeper place within. But we're often taught to distrust this inner voice in favor of logic. Yet in moments of true stuckness, intuition can see solutions the thinking mind misses.
The next time you're struggling to resolve an issue:
• Step away from it. Go for a walk, meditate or do a simple activity to give your thinking a rest.
• Sit quietly and let go of thoughts swirling in your head. Imagine releasing mental tension. Breathe deeply.
• Silently ask an open question to your heart: "What do I need to know to move forward?" or "What's possible here that I can't see?"
• Wait patiently. An intuitive insight may arise as a word, image or feeling. Even if it seems "illogical", trust this first answer.
• Take inspired action. New paths often open up once we start walking. Commit and see where it leads!
• With practice, it gets easier. The more you learn to "listen" when stuck, the clearer intuition's voice becomes.
The thinking mind critiques; the intuitive heart creates. When logic fails, close your eyes, open your heart and ask your heart for answers. The simple answer your intuition provides just might contain the breakthrough needed to cut through the complexity that's been keeping you trapped.
