They say that premonitions rarely deceive, but sometimes we draw hasty conclusions under the influence of the first impulse and are mistaken. Why? Perhaps we often mistake the play of the imagination for a flash of intuition. And it is very important to learn to distinguish one from the other.
Bad feelings often cause doubts: on the one hand, we “know” that something is wrong, on the other hand, we are not sure whether to rely on intuition. How to proceed? Run without looking back to protect yourself from something that hasn’t happened yet and who doesn’t know if it will happen at all? Or pretend to yourself and others, as if everything is fine, and live as if nothing had happened? Only the soul will still be restless.
Intuition defies logical explanation, but in fact it always guides our actions, even though we do not realize that it is so, according to Susie and Otto Collins, relationship coaches and authors of the books “Communication Magic”, “No Jealousy”.
Most often this happens involuntarily, under the influence of some internal impulse. We just live, talk, move — and suddenly somewhere inside of us there is a bad premonition. And if a certain event causes strong emotions, we ask ourselves: what if intuition worked and it would be worth listening to it? The question is not an easy one: “Am I inventing God knows what under the influence of fear, or is everything really that bad?”
For example, if in the midst of a wonderful party, burning jealousy wakes up in us for no reason, then we really want to understand what it was: an intuitive guess or just imagination? Where did this annoying voice come from, which repeats: “He will leave me!”, “She wants to leave me!”?
Susie and Otto Collins offer a great way to figure out when our intuition is talking to us and it really deserves attention, and when it’s fear and insecurity.
How to learn to distinguish inner voices?
Fear and uncertainty give rise to thoughts that endlessly scroll through the head. Maybe they are dictated by previous experience or the habit of constantly expecting the worst. One way or another, this is just «talk»: in this way the brain tries to distract us and drown out reasonable arguments.
But if you do not attach importance to this chatter and let it sound in the background, it turns out to catch a quiet voice, which is called the sixth sense, and in another way — wisdom. It’s definitely worth listening to. He calls to calm down, not to rush to conclusions, to take a closer look at what is happening now, and not to worry about what might happen.
Indeed, it becomes much easier when you let go of thoughts and emotions and allow yourself to hear real intuition.
For example, recently Suzy’s grandson came for the holidays, and shortly before leaving, she invited him to have lunch together in order to see enough of him before another separation. When he politely refused, she thought that they simply did not want to see her, and immediately took offense. However, a little later, when thoughts and emotions subsided, Susie’s intuition suggested that there was a long school year ahead, the guy needed time for himself and it was not at all about her. It all ended with the fact that she saw him off with love and the warmest relations remained between them.
Intuition always guides our actions. It’s just a question of what we want to hear: the endless chatter of disturbing thoughts or a real inner voice.
