Should you follow your intuition? You know we have a big new idea and you just feel compelled to do it. Should you do it or you feel like you're repelled from an idea or a person, should you follow that? Or you don't feel safe over here but you feel safe over there or you feel called to do this other thing. Should you follow intuition? That's a tough one. I don't know. I don't know what you're feeling or you're vibing on, but I have some ideas and some clarification. You know, a lot of people mistake intuition for fear. So a lot of times they have a big idea but they say, well, my intuition says I shouldn't do it. And I say, well, let's first check that is your intuition. You know, intuition usually operates kind of on four planes. And if it's not operating those four planes, it's probably just a thought. Maybe it's a fear or a concern, but it's not the real thing. You know, I think our intuition first and foremost operates at a level that is for trust. Do I trust this person? You should follow that intuition. You know, if you feel. If you feel a bad vibe from someone, follow that immediately. If your intuition says, don't hire this person, don't hire them. If your intuition says this person's gonna boggle and just mess up this project, they probably will. You know your intuition with people. If you found out that you're, you know, a generally socially intelligent person, follow that. If you've always been dumb with people, don't follow your intuition with people. You need skill development in that space. Read some books on social psychology. Read some books on social intelligence. Get in the game a little bit. Understand how to deal with difficult people. Understand conversations, Understand persuasion and influence. Tons of good books out there. But if you've genuinely been okay with people and you sense that you shouldn't trust someone, follow that intuition. I think a lot of people have made that mistake before, and I bet you have too. Lots of people have. So pay attention to that. I would say also, intuition usually operates on the realm of positive growth for us. If we have an idea and our intuition says, you know, I should try that, I feel, you know, connect to that idea. I'm passionate, I'm excited about it, then go for that. Follow that intuition that says, it's time to change. Follow that intuition that says, I could do this. Follow that intuition says, it's a second chance. Follow that intuition says, you know, I could start over. If that's what's calling to you, then listen to it. Explore it. Doesn't mean you need to take that next big leap towards it. I'm not saying your decision making for what to do on the intuition is right. I'm just saying follow the intuition. That means sit down and think, why am I hearing this right now? If it's right, what would be my next right? Action of integrity to move towards it. So your intuition says, pay attention. It's decision making that decides how to implement that well, so make good decisions. But if it says, this would make.

Me grow, this would excite me. This would bring more engagement, enthusiasm, energy to my life.

I'm like, go, baby, go.

I would also say that the intuition tends to operate best after effort than before, right? A new dream comes up. It's so easy to say, well, I, you know, my intuition says I shouldn't do it. I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough. You know, people won't make fun of me or people won't support this. You know, I'm not ready to do this. And that's a challenge. Sometimes intuition is fear. If it says stop before you try, especially in terms of goal attainment seeking things, sometimes intuition sounds like fear because it says stop to protect yourself. Like there's a real safety or physical safety concerns. Listen to those. When your body says don't walk down the alleyway, that's not intuition, that's just common sense, right? But the intuition that says, you know what, let's try, let's get in the game, let's just take that first step. Listen to that one. But if the intuition is saying don't do it, don't do it because I'm.

Scared or people might reject me or.

I'm not good enough, don't listen to that one. That's fear. And that's why I'm saying intuition usually operates at a plane best after effort. Get in the game a little bit, take a couple action steps, move forward toward it, a week, two weeks, a month, you know, do it for three or four months and see how it feels. Then let intuition say, this isn't my calling, but don't let that small part of you, that intellectual side or that unconscious side that says, well, you know, who am I to do this? Because sometimes your intuition says, you're not big enough for this partner. But your mind has to say, you know what? Then I'm going to develop the skills and the habits and the routines to build into that. I will become what I must become. Because sometimes your intuition is just operating based on today. And I would say that last part about intuition to listen to is the one that's tied to your faith, whether that for you is a belief in God or the universe or cosmos or just the joyous luck of every day, listen to that. If there's something inside that's saying, I need to reconnect with God or universe or I need to reconnect with what my values or my beliefs are, if intuition is saying, you know what? I'm not being my best self right now. I'm not being good for those around me, listen to that. Don't take it as guilt, because that's not what it is. It's what Lincoln called the better angels of your nature. It's. It's in the back of your mind something saying, you know what? You're better than this kid. You could do a better job than this. It's reminding you that you have within you greatness. It's reminding you to be a role model. It's reminding you to pay attention to.

How you treat people. That's good that's coming, I believe, from.

Whatever that goodness is that the Creator sowed in our hearts that says, we want to be good people. So listen to that, that intuition of faith in yourself and in being the best of who you can in the.

Ability to rise through the difficulties of the day. Okay, my friend, I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Brendon Show. Tell some people about this episode. It's on each of us to spread positivity and empowerment during these times of chaos and negativity.
