How Strong is Your Intuition: 10 Ways to Develop it & Why You Should Try

Intuition tells us right from wrong. It lets us know when we are doing something that isn’t in alignment with who we want to be or our values, and vice versa. It’s that “hunch” we get when we are sure or unsure of something. 

Yet, many of us fail to use our intuition, especially since the pandemic caught us all a bit by surprise; The unexpected happened. Yet, this doesn’t mean our gut instinct is always wrong.

What is an Intuitive Person?

Philosopher and writer Jiddu Krishnamurti once said, “Intuition is the whisper of the soul.”

Intuition unearths our innate and deep desires. It forces us to align with them or face discomfort due to resistance and chaos.

Is it Possible to Develop Intuition?

Yes, it is! With practice and some introspection, you can flex your intuition muscle. Everyone has intuition; just not all of us use it regularly! With that in mind, try the following 10 ways to develop your intuition.

1. Keep a Dream Journal.

 2. Meditate.

Yes, this is recommended for basically everything from reducing anxiety to controlling your mind and emotions.

3. Practice Using All of Your Senses.

By paying closer attention to all five senses, including taste, smell, sight, hearing, and touch, we can actually go a layer deeper and get in touch with our sixth sense (aka your intuition!).
