Tuning Into Your Inner Voice for Better Decision-Making

Listening to Your Inner Voice

What is spiritual certainty?  This is a subject that is dear to my heart. I see so many people who give away their power, their own agency in their life, to someone else.  This person may be a boss, a coworker, a friend or partner. Or they may be an authority on a subject. Maybe they are someone we pay a good amount of money for some advice or counsel. Yet the advice, or guidance they are offering doesn’t fit. It isn’t right, it is clearly not the right answer but the advisors authority or position, makes them want to give up their power and follow what they say.  They doubt themselves, their own inner knowing, their own authority and trust someone that every cell in their body is telling them is wrong.

We’ve all done this. The thought of following their advice or doing the thing they want us to do, makes us anxious and sick, and yet because of their importance, we think we should do it. We doubt ourselves. We don’t trust ourselves, we think that someone outside of us is more important than we are. Yet who has to live with the choice, the outcome? We do.

I’ve seen people marry the wrong person or go into business with the wrong partner, and when I look at this situation in a clairvoyant reading, it is clear to me they knew it was wrong from the start. They knew the future business partner wasn’t trustworthy. Yet  they started a business with them anyway.  So here they are many years down the road, and they’ve been removed from the business they created, by this unworthy partner.  They feel victimized and yet they knew. When I say to them but you knew they weren’t good, this wasn’t the right fit before you did it. They nod, yes they did. But they went forward anyway.

The same thing has happened in many readings, when someone tells me they just got a divorce. I look at the marriage, all those years ago, and see they knew this wasn’t the right person, before they got married. I say that and they nod, yes they did.  But they went forward anyway.

I’ve seen people hire the wrong employee. The one they knew was wrong, and then they are left holding the bag, in the worst moment possible. We have feelings, we know it, but we don’t trust or act on these feelings. We think we are being judgmental or jumping to conclusions or should give it a try. What is it that makes us ignore our inner voice and go forward when we clearly have foreknowing?  Why do we not value our own knowingness?  Why do we not trust ourselves? We aren’t trained to value spiritual certainty. We aren’t taught that our own inner voice is meant to guide us. To protect us, to keep us on our path.   Spiritual certainty is when you know, when you are certain, when you trust yourself and don’t have any doubt.

Have you ever wondered how it is that animals don’t eat poison berries, or food that has gone bad? They trust themselves, they know their survival depends daily on making the right choices. They inherently know that the consequence of doing the wrong thing could be dire, or life threatening. So if it doesn’t feel right, they don’t do it. That expression you can lead a horse to water but not make them drink, is true.  As a prey animal they are hyper aware of their survival needs. Their vulnerability, so if they aren’t sure about something, or someone, they won’t do it. Animals  recognize and value their feelings, they trust the sense that something isn’t right. But our feelings are just as strong and intended to keep us save in our lives too. They are meant to be our guide, our navigation system.

So how do we know when something isn’t right? Your body will tell you.  You will feel it. When it doesn’t feel right, when you can’t sleep at night, when you feel anxious and hesitant. Do you feel tired, has your enthusiasm died?  Those are all feelings you need to pay attention to. They mean something. When you feel like you shouldn’t do something, hesitate, pause, and examine what you feel and ask yourself why. Don’t go forward and ignore your feelings. Don’t try to avoid the moment, or escape responsibility for your life, and give your power to someone else to decide or guide you. No matter who the person or authority is. Remember you know better than anyone what your life purpose is, what your dreams and desires are. What you need to be happy.

In my classes and workshops I teach how to feel your body and emotions. How to listen to your inner voice and have your own power and be your own authority.  If you feel you need help, reach out for a reading, or check my classes and workshops.
