Do you follow your intuition? Sometimes? Never? I feel I get pretty strong senses of intuition, often times I don’t listen to it. I convince myself that I would be silly to listen to my intuition.

What is intuition? Intuition is- “the ability to understand or know something immediately, without conscious reasoning”

My cousin called me yesterday to confirm an intuition that I had about something, she called to tell me that I was right all along. Who knew? I should have just listened to my gut instinct. She said something that made absolute sense ” listening to your intuition is a test of how confident you are in yourself. The more self confidence you have, the more you will trust and listen to your intuition”. I think she is absolutely right. So now, instead of throwing out my intuition about things, I will trust myself more.

I believe what she says is true 100%, my guy and share this ability to be “connected”, we like to call it. Really I think, we trust out intuitions about each other, because we are confident in each other. I think we have developed this skill over the years to a level where now, I often think of him at the same times he thinks of me. I know when he is about to call, or know what he is about to say.

In the same sense, intuition can save you from disastrous situations. For example, you go on a date with a guy, he seems great but you get the gut feeling that something is wrong. Out of nowhere you all of a sudden feel that he is hiding something, that he may be in a relationship with someone. I have been there, trust your instinct. We are often more right then wrong. Chances are you are absolutely right, and your intuition was trying to protect you.

Do you have stories about when you followed your intuition and were proved right?
