I think I can trust my intuition because it feels “right” to me. When I try to follow process or certainty, it feels rigid and stiff, I don’t feel like myself, trying to impersonate or speak for somebody else, I don’t feel connected to what I’m doing, never feel like I’m bringing my best self, or it feels like I’m leaving stuff on the table, not able to make an improvisation, audible or creativity to take opportunity of what might come up spontaneously at the moment.
When my intuition is driving, it feels like flowstate, hyper-productive and fearless. It doesn’t feel like I’m making decisions it just feels like I’m present. Almost like I’m not even doing anything. Almost like I’m not the one doing it. Energizing. Invigorating. Effortless. By the end of it, I almost don’t even remember what I did, and no desire to receive or seek credit for whatever even just happened. Intuition feels like the convergence of instincts and insight.
Fear does try to creep in, maybe when I slow down or stop to think about what I’m doing. The fear usually comes in when I’m starting to judge myself, focusing on or building expectations or thinking of other’s perceptions. When that starts to happen, I usually start with the thought, that I don’t know anything.
My intuition has usually paid off more than when trying to follow procedure or trying to perform based on other’s expectations.
