“Intuition means exactly what it sounds like, in-tuition! An inner tutor or teaching and learning mechanism that takes us forward daily. It is a resource that, where recognized, has infinite potential.”
― Sylvia Clare
How many decisions did you make in the past 12 months that were based on the things you ‘should’ be doing?
Sometimes it becomes easy to allow external demands to dictate the actions we take.
One of the most powerful shifts you can make is to learn to tune into that internal voice each of us has that often contains the clues to what you really should do. It’s this journey towards learning to trust yourself again that leads to greater fulfillment and real and lasting happiness and wholeness.
Today’s affirmation is designed to help you do just that – learn how to listen to yourself again and drown out the noise around you.
I trust my intuition to guide me.
My intuition is always available to guide me, if I am willing to listen. My inner light is the purest form of my soul. It gently shows me the way.
I have a high level of intuition. My intuition is the manifestation of my wisdom. It is always right. It speaks in a soft voice, but I can hear it if I truly open myself up to it.
Sometimes reason and logic are great tools for making decisions. Other times, intuition is a better tool. When I have all the information I need, yet still feel lost, I look beyond logic and reason.
Today, I listen carefully to the guidance of my internal knowing and intuition. I am making good and wise decisions.
Whenever I am confused about a choice, I acknowledge the messages that my intuition are sending me.
By following those messages, the odds of making a good decision skyrocket.
My intuition exist to serve me. I make full use of the guidance that they provide. I get better and better at using these tools each and every day.
Self-Reflection Questions:
Having these sources of guidance makes my life easier. By making proactive decisions, I use my time more effectively. The number of mistakes I make is vastly minimized. I supercharge my success by listening to my inner knowing and intuition.
“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” ~George Bernard Shaw
Are we products of circumstances? There are times when things happen to us that are completely out of our control. It’s important to recognize that while you may have no control over what happens to you, you have complete control over how you to choose to respond and whether you choose to be the captain of your ship in life.
Not taking responsibility may seem less demanding, less painful and mean less time spent in the unknown. After all, if others are responsible for your success or failure, it means you can put in as much effort or as little effort and not be responsible for the outcomes in your life.
It’s more comfortable. You can just take it easy and blame problems in your life on someone else. The downside is there is a high and hidden cost of choosing this path. When you don’t take responsibility for your life you give away your personal power and limit your ability to truly experience all life has to offer you.
Today’s affirmation is a simple one designed to help you take full responsibility for your life:
I am the architect of my life
I am ultimately responsible for the life I experience. I can change nearly any aspect of my life, so I create the life I desire.
I am free of the belief that circumstances control my life. Circumstances simply provide a starting point. The direction of my journey is the same. Some circumstances might make changes more difficult, but I am up for the challenge.
I choose goals and activities that move my life in a positive direction. I have a vision for my life that supports my dreams and the people closest to me. I put plans into place and review those plans each week.
I see the opportunities around me and leverage those opportunities to the best of my abilities. When I do this, my life gets better. The more my life is enhanced, the more control I feel I have over it.
The best things in my life usually require the most work.
My life is my masterpiece. I take full responsibility for my past, current, and future circumstances.
Today, I renew my commitment to designing my life. I am working harder and efficiently at making my life exactly the way I want it to be.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What can I do immediately that would enhance my life the most?
2. Do I have goals in place so I can stay on track?
3. What resources am I under utilizing?
I am very confident in my ability to design my life and to make that vision come to fruition. I realize that it takes a little bit of effort each day to achieve any substantial results. I am happy to put forth that effort.
