Note to Myself No. 12

This one can be really challenging

for smart people with a gift for analyzing.

You know something deep in your gut

without knowing how you know exactly

and then your rational mind

takes over and says,

"Well, there's no proof of that."

or 

even more damning

"You're just making that up."

And so, all too often, 

the rational wrong

wins over the intuitive right.

If you're finding it hard to

trust your inner wisdom,

the whispers of your intuitive self,

start small.

Act as if the voice or knowing

makes perfect sense

and test it out

on some small thing like. . .

say

choice of routes to where you're going

and see what synchronicities develop.

Or perhaps you can learn,

as I did,

by negative implication.

Once I started paying attention to --

but not always following the wisdom of --

my Higher Self,

I quickly learned

I always end up in a traffic mess 

if I ignore the inner urging

"Drive through town"

and get on the highway.

My rational self would always argue

"But the highway is quicker."

"There won't be any traffic this time of day."

My argumentative brain

was always wrong.

Learn to trust the wisdom source.

It opens up so many things

you scarcely imagined.
