The conscious mind (ego) is a censor:

Fear

Habit

Stress

Our conscious mind feeds these blocks

Tell your mind your intuition is in charge

Tell it in advance

 

Go with the flow

Watch what you think and say – no certainly, definitely, absolutely

Creative writing, visualisation, day dreaming, doodling, music, mind mapping, brainstorming

Allow ideas to incubate

Listen to yourself and your body

We focus so much on data, numbers, facts we don’t listen to ourselves

By listening to our intuition we can make more informed decisions

Better communication with others

Our intuition has all the answers, we don’t ask the questions!

 

The simplest way to make sense of why and how intuition works is to think of it as an advanced pattern recognition device. Your subconscious mind somehow finds links between your new situation and various patterns of your past experiences.

You may not recall most of the details of those experiences. And even if you did, it may be very hard to express the lessons you learnt in a form acceptable for analytical reasoning.

Yet, your subconscious mind still remembers the patterns learnt. It can rapidly project your new circumstances onto those patterns and send you a message of wisdom.

That message comes as your inner voice and will most likely be expressed in the language of your feelings. For example, some of the options or solutions you consider may not feel right to you.

Intuition means “ Being able to bring to bear on situation everything you’ve seen felt , tasted and experienced in an industry “.

 

Good intuitive is based  on deep knowledge of the problems that continually come up on a specific job or environment , Knowledge that is accumulated via experience in handling these problems.

Intuition combined with experience and knowledge  make you successful

In sum, intuition is not an irrational process.

It is based on a deep understanding of the situation.

It is a complex phenomena that draws from the store of knowledge in our  subconscious and is roared in the past experience.

It is quick , but not necessarily biased as presumed in previous research on rational decision making.

 

The first important thing to keep in mind is that even when you rely on intuition it is still very important to do your homework. The intuition will help you navigate faster through much of unstructured data and can work around certain gaps and conflicts in the available information. Yet, even intuition can be misled if too many of your facts are wrong or missing.

Pay attention to your emotional state. If you are stressed or in a bad mood, your true inner voice will be distorted or lost in the background of your strong negative feelings. A similar effect may happen with strong positive feelings. If you want to hear your inner voice, get over the background of your strong feelings. Feel them through or let them go. Take a walk. Do something refreshing. Say your prayers. Forgive and accept. Sigh. Un clutter your mind.

Finally, you can greatly increase the quality of your intuitive decisions if you include certain elements of the analytical approach. In particular, try to follow the procedure of the rational analysis first. As much as you can, capture on paper the ideas on the main options and the criteria for evaluating your choices. Write down the key facts and factors you need to keep in mind.

Following this procedure is an effective way to feed your subconscious mind with all the relevant data it needs. You will help yourself even more if you put all those notes together on paper as a mind map. By having all the important points written in one place you will also unclutter your mind. At that stage you are much more ready to listen to your inner voice.
