Forgetting to Engage Our Intuition

We all forget things now and again. Right? We forget grocery lists, car keys, appointments, birthdays, the name of our high school ex-boyfriend’s mother’s great-uncle (once removed)…

It’s less likely we’ll forget those things we do on a daily or near-daily basis, though; like brushing our teeth, making our bed, going to work, scrolling through our high school ex-boyfriend’s* social feeds…

And that brings up a good point about our intuition.

If we’re forgetting to engage our intuition, it’s most likely because we aren’t using it on the daily. It’s most likely we engage it with intention only when things are really “bad” or really “good”… or if we feel compelled to know if our high school ex-boyfriend is happy in his current relationship.

Judging intuition as something other than normal, other than everyday, other than our greatest ally makes it more likely it’ll get dusty from misuse - just like the “good china”** that’s only pulled out a couple-few times each year.

Understanding our intuition is totally normal, best used all day every day, and also, by the way, our greatest ally makes it highly likely our usage of it becomes second-nature. And that means it’s exercised on the daily and therefore strengthening and evolving and expanding.

I mean, who doesn’t want their intuition to strengthen, evolve and expand?

“We notice the engagement of the intuition in a casual way as well as in an intentional way creates a synergy that leads to its great energy. This, then, leads to its progression in unexpected and glorious ways.”

Right? And who doesn’t want their intuition to progress in unexpected and glorious ways?

Truly, our intuition is a gorgeous facet of our human experience. Engaging it in normal, everyday ways increases the richness of our human experience.

Something to consider.

*For the record, I didn’t have a boyfriend in high school. I was tremendously introverted and shy.

**A few years back, my mom and I decided that her “good china” would become her everyday dinnerware. We gave away two sets of then-everyday dinnerware and put her extensive Blue Danube set into daily use. Best dinnerware decision ever.
