How do I know when my intuition is speaking vs my anxiety?
By Polly Green
Have you ever just known your partner is cheating on you? You ask them, they deny it, and you end up feeling like the crazy one.
Only to find out later that you were right?
If this scenario or something similar has ever happened to you keep reading because in this post I am going to dive deep into how to know which voices in your head are intuition and which are anxiety. So you can trust your self and you intuition and prevent future heartache.
Let’s dive into how to know when the voice is our intuition vs anxiety.
Let’s take the partner cheating on you scenario because this is something I actually experienced and hope that by sharing this you will not have to experience the same self doubt that I did.
I will tell you my story to help illustrate the tools:
It started off as an uneasy feeling.
I just knew something was not right and I could feel there was something happening between my boyfriend and best friend at the time.
I started to have reoccuring dreams about them together.
I asked them both strait up if they were together and they denied it up and down.
Their denials left me feeling like I was crazy, because I trusted them over listening to my intuition.
I was in conflict.
What I was feeling internally was opposed to what I was being told externally.
Instead of trusting myself I trusted them.
And needless to say my self esteem started to spiral downhill as the deception continued.
To make a long story short I eventually ended the relationship and moved away and it came out years later from a person who did not know my connection - that they had in fact gotten together at the exact time my intuition told me!
The moral of the story is we know! And it is crucial that we listen.
Have you ever been in a similar situation where your intuition was right but external factors made you doubt it?
Next I am going to share with you the strategies that I now use and that I teach my clients:
What are the voices in your head telling you?
So for example In my scenario- I would list out all the internal information I was being given that the cheating was going on.
-I was having recurring dreams
-I just knew
-I felt sick to my stomach
-Things felt off
It would not leave me alone- It felt like getting hit over the head.
I could have perceive this as anxiety and I did at the time it was happening when in fact it was my inner alarm bell telling me that deception was happening behind my back.
My number one take away from this was to always trust my intuition and put it first.
We are sovereign beings. We are the only ones responsible for our happiness.
We know what is right for us and what is not. Learning to put ourselves and our intuition first and have confidence in it is a massive life changing skill, and requires us to set clear boundaries with people.
Another great tool to build confidence in your intuition is to write down all of the times your intuition has been correct and led you in the right direction.
This helps us to strengthen our trust in our intuition vs thinking or anxiety.
