6 Signs Your Intuition Is Trying to Tell You Something

Have you wondered how you can know if something is right or wrong? Most people rely on existing knowledge and literature to determine if something is correct since this information has been scientifically proven and confirmed through repetitive experimentation. But, what about things that don’t really have a right or wrong answer, or something that is too personal to be related to any other information that is out there? Most people turn to their parents or mentors, who are more likely to know what to do because they have been around for longer and may have more experience. Others choose to trust their intuition when making a decision. Of course, having guidance is a plus, but there are instances when your intuition tells you something that no one else can know. In these specific instances, you should trust it and follow your gut feeling. To help you familiarise with such instances, this article will be discussing 6 signs that your intuition is trying to tell you something.

A specific dream or desire keeps resurfacing

Have you ever experienced a desire resurfacing over and over again, even when you already decided not to pursue it? A lot of times, people tend to live with the decisions they take because, well, who would ever want to constantly regret something they chose? You might have dreams or desires based on your ego, and these will only last for a time period where the initial hype is high (Barbara, 2018). However, if you notice that you keep wanting to go in the direction of that dream or desire, even after the initial hype, chances are that that dream, or desire are not simply impulsive or egoic. Your intuition will keep making this dream or desire resurface in your mind as a way of telling you to pursue it.

You feel happy and confident with a decision that doesn’t seem rational

Did you ever take the least expected decision and surprisingly felt good about it? That right there is your intuition telling you that, although it might not seem like it, the decision that you took was the best choice for you. More specifically, when taking these kinds of decisions, intuition speaks to you through a moment of clarity (Ishak, 2017). For example, you choose to quit your job, which is rationally a bad choice. However, your intuition speaks to you through a moment of clarity and makes you feel like you took the right decision, even when this would mean losing the economical security. So, if you feel like you are experiencing these types of moments when taking seemingly irrational decisions, it means your intuition is trying to tell you something.

You experience synchronicity

Do you often notice external signs that are coincidentally related to something you are thinking? Well, maybe you seeing these signs are not a coincidence at all. Synchronicity refers the simultaneous occurrence of events that are seemingly related without a discernible connection (Levoy, 2017). This concept was first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung. Let’s say you are driving through the city while thinking something specific. As you drive, you start seeing ads, or billboards, or a bumper sticker in the car in that’s in front of you that are related to what you are thinking. This is what synchronicity is, repetitive signs that are trying to address a question or concern that you might have (Power of Positivity, 2020). If you experience this, it is highly possible that your intuition is trying to tell you something.

You have lucid dreams more frequently

Have you had dreams that you remember vividly a long time after you wake up? Surely you have experienced falling off a high place into your bed or something similar in a dream. Intuition can communicate in a variety of forms, with dreams being no exception. The things that you dream can contain messages about things that you intuitively picked up, be it from the past, present, or future (Ishak, 2017). Celebrity psychic medium Thomas John recommends that you keep notes or a journal about the impressions and feelings that you get from those dreams since these might be important signs that your intuition is trying to tell you something.

You find clarity when you slow down

How often do you take a break from all the things that you constantly do throughout the day? It might be useful for you to know that your intuition has a greater influence in moments of calm and silence. Of course, if your mind is constantly busy processing all the stimuli and information from your daily routine, so you probably won’t even have a chance to listen to what your intuition is trying to tell you. However, once you slow down and take a break, you feel like you are having moments of clarity and can see things from a “big picture” perspective (BoopBod, 2020). These moments often occur while you are showering, when you decide to go out and take air, or even when you are taking a stroll.

You body speaks to you

Have you ever taken a decision that made you feel physically sick? As mentioned before, intuition can send message through a variety of ways, which includes your physical state. According to Louise L. Hay, and inspirational author and speaker, taking decisions that go completely against your gut feeling can have a hefty price on your body (Power of Positivity, 2020). You might experience physical pain or become more prone to diseases, which are ways your intuition is trying to tell you that you might have taken the wrong decision. Other examples might be that you start to experience chest pains or shortness of breath.

To wrap this article up, it is very usual for people to partially ignore the signs that your intuition sends trying to tell you something. After all, daily routines have developed to the point where having even an hour of free time might be perceived as “inefficient” or “lazy”. Being a hard worker is an extremely good quality that not many people have, but it is important to take breaks and listen to what you intuition is trying to tell you, no matter how busy you are.
