04/20/18 • 50 min

Here to Thrive ® | Self Help & Personal Development

This is an important, enlightening and super useful information. Becca Reed Smith is a Therapist & Mindset coach. She shares with us here her straightforward guidance, and she explains concepts that most of us find challenging, in very real and understandable ways.

We talk about a lot in this podcast, but some of the particulars include:

Understanding that Fear is Normal
How common it is to not feel good enough at times
The importance of stepping out of our Comfort Zones when it comes to Fear + Self-Doubt
Imposter Syndrome, and a discussion on the "who am I to ..." statement many of us play in our heads
How once we feel safe and grounded, our options open up
How stress can eventually lead us to feeling numb and that is our nervous system simply doing its job and trying to regulate the big emotions
Cognitive dissonance - what it is, and how we can use it to our advantage
And how our Doubting Dialogue often shows up in the form of "what if" questions and what we can do it quieten it

#90. How to Know When It’s Your Intuition Guiding You

How do you know it is Intuitive Guidance OR your busy mind coming up with ideas? What constitutes an intuitive-hit or a nudge from the Universe?

--- Channel Your Chill, my group program is currently open for registration! Check it out here: www.thrive.how/channelyourchill ---

A listener reached out to me recently to ask this, and she is far from the first person to bring it up. I can still remember back when I was sure I didn't have an intuitive bone in my body. Now - 5 years later - I consider myself incredibly tuned in to my inner guidance system.

In this episode I'm talking through 4 particular checkpoints that can help you ascertain whether you're in alignment with your inner knowing, or whether you may have got caught in rumination or your overthinking mind.

Some of the things covered include:

The difference between Green Light intuition and your Warning System intuition
How intuition is a feeling rather than thinking system
How intuitive guidance will struggle to be heard over loud thoughts
What you can do to tune-inward and tune-out the outside world so you can hear your intuition
How seeking approval outside of yourself kills intuitive connection
How impulsivity is not intuition, and how if you are impulsive you can benefit from building in a contemplative practice before jumping to act
How trust is crucial to the process
And the fineprint when it comes to intuition. What it can and can't do.
