Actions speak louder than your good intentions...
A little secret you may (or may not) have heard me say before – intuition is like a muscle. It becomes more potent the more you use it and starts to wither when you don’t. People who are intuitive (naturally or trained) incorporate intuition into their daily lives and their very being – they define themselves as intuitive and connected to their intuition. Likewise, those that aren’t (or believe they aren’t), don't. So, they rarely use it.
Those who are new to using intuition are the ones most likely to give up.
Actually, you probably have accessed it many times, by chance – and then mistook it as something silly. But, this is the point where it is most important to keep going and using it! And more importantly, playing with it rather than making it a life or death consequence. This is a far more functional way to approach it.

For example, if you were building your muscles to be able to lift 60kg in weight, it is fair to say that you would not expect yourself to be able to do that after one gym session, if you have:
1. Never done it before
2. Have spent months without regular practice
It’s the same with intuition.

Actions Speaks Louder Than...
Action will delineate and define you – Thomas Jefferson
Action speaks louder than all your good intentions. They reveal what you REALLY believe about your intuition.
There are several ways this can manifest – being demotivated by your negative thoughts, things you say to other people or obvious action. If you are struggling with practicing your intuition, which one of these are you?
Believing loud inner mind chatter (which demotivates you to take no action), such as:
- Who am I to do that?
- I can't access my intuition as good as others
- I don't have anything important to say
Saying to other people (directly or a comment in passing) things like:
- "I don't know" (a big No No)
- "I'll do it later"
- Dulling down what you get & softening it (technically you are using it, but playing yourself down to prove there's nothing special about your intuition)
Doing things like:
- Being distracted by other things (usually shiny!) when you intend to use intuition
- Not taking obvious opportunities to use your intuition

What Do I Do Instead?
The key to intuition – and I’d say also for exercise – is that repetitive practice will make it feel like a chore. If it feels like a chore, you won’t want to use it. Unless you have a particularly disciplined character, you will have to start forcing yourself. That will warp your intuition even more.
A clue to whether you are in this space is if you ever hear yourself say: “I should...”
But there are ways around this – an alternative possibility is to find fun ways to use it. For example, those who hate repetitive practice at the gym could try martial arts or dancing as a way to exercise. Likewise, you could use intuition regularly in the form of play and like a game.

I have used intuition for almost anything – visioning my ideal partner, my ideal home to buy, why am I stuck around the same problem?, what my daughter is really up to (you’d be surprised!). There are many fun things in your life to gain insight about – and intuition is a powerful form of insight.
Intuition is actually about going to a beautiful tranquil place of truth. And it is heaps of fun too.
