How often have you heard yourself saying, “I should have trusted my initial gut feelings”?
Is your logical mind rationalizing and overriding your decisions by not trusting your intuitive self?
This can leave you feeling disconnected, uncertain, and frustrated, even confused about connecting with your true self and unleashing your full potential in life.
Your intuition, gut feelings, and instincts are vital components connecting you with the universal intelligence of your unique creative potential. It is paramount to tune into your inner voice and vision to completely align with your true self in every action you take.
Behind closed doors, people from all walks of life disclose that they feel like they are selling their souls in their business, career, and personal lives. They now want to live with greater meaning and purpose in their whole life.
If this sounds like you, you may have disconnected from your true self and switched off from the intuitive power of your higher purpose and creative potential.
“Connect with the vision and voice on the inside rather than all the voices, opinions, and distractions on the outside. That is when you will live with the calling of your inspirational vision and fully express the infinite power of your higher purpose.”
Developing Trust to Connect with Your Intuitive Power
As a highly intuitive visionary leader and executive life coach passionate about mentoring high-performing leaders, I talk a lot about actualizing your higher purpose in complete alignment with your intuitive power.
I went through the same challenges of developing trust in my intuition, feeling uncertain about my purpose and direction not knowing the right next steps to take in my business, career, and personal life. Especially during life transitions, I often struggled to tune into the clarity of my evolving true self.
As I began to take stock and re-evaluate my beliefs, habits, and structures, I realized how much I had lost trust in my intuitive knowing. With feelings of disheartenment, I became aware that the more I did not trust my intuition, the greater my sense of anxiety, overwhelm, and disconnection from my true self. I witnessed the deep calling of my inspirational vision gradually fading into a distant dream.
Can you relate? Have you ever had a strong sense that you want to make a change or move in a new direction, yet unclear on what that looks like?
I certainly have felt this way on occasions throughout my life and career path and was very impatient and hard on myself during these times.
So finally, I consciously decided to take the pressure off myself and gradually noticed the unfolding of a more profound connection from within. A calling, a higher purpose, a glimmer of an inspirational vision tapping on the window of my heart and soul that I could no longer push aside.
I could feel the natural pull from my solar plexus with a strong sense inside my body, to trust this. To courageously step into my next inspired step moving forward into the unknown, whilst being committed to my intuitive knowing.
Stepping into the unknown does take courage and you may notice fear and doubt appear, even in the most confident and successful leaders.
“Only you know if you have a calling (or a sense of something unknown) pulling you towards an inspirational vision and
whether you are moving towards it or further away?”
Sitting in the Powerful Space of Allowing and Surrendering
As I courageously stepped into the unknown, I noticed mixed feelings of apprehension, excitement, and uncertainty. A new reality was opening, but I had no idea what that fully looked like yet. I felt a deeper awareness of a spiritual awakening. I knew I needed to sit in the space by allowing and surrendering with courage and faith.
Allowing and surrendering into the unknown was foreign to me, and I resisted this for some time. But I knew that if I did not hold the space and trust what life was opening, I would find myself back in the same position.
As a high achiever, I used to be the type of person who needed to feel in control. Knowing exactly where I was going. I needed to know what I was doing next to feel more productive and efficient in my business and personal life.
Every now and then, I could feel ‘my old friend called PUSH and DRIVE to make things happen’ rearing its ego mind again during this transitional time.
I found myself sitting in the space of not wanting to drive myself with the usual motivational, get-up-and-go personality style. The thought of stepping back on the same exhausting treadmill was bewildering. I had been here before and found it was not sustainable to create a life and business with purpose, fulfillment, and success.
“Life and business ‘as usual’ no longer worked for me, and the more I resisted my calling, the more I felt like I was selling my soul.”
Step Forward Listening to your Inner Voice
I knew I had to courageously step forward, listening to my inner voice and intuitive guidance. I could feel a powerful transformation from the inside out. A distinctive inner knowing that it was now time to step into my higher purpose, sharing my life’s work and legacy with the world.
Have you ever felt the gap from where you stood in that moment to realising your inspirational vision, was massive?
“When your vision is big enough, the strategy to reach it will appear.”
I needed to regain trust in my intuitive knowing to fully step into the spaciousness. Instead of quickly filling the space with old habits, beliefs, and routines, to allow myself to feel the space.
I did not find this easy to focus on, especially with my high-achieving personality, who needs to feel purposeful and productive through consistent peak performance and activating my full potential.
With the clarity of my deep awareness stronger than ever before, I knew it was now or never to step into my calling as a woman with purpose, power, and presence.
Five New Success Rituals to Awaken Your Higher Purpose
To support you in awakening your higher purpose in alignment with your intuitive power, I would like to offer these five powerful success rituals and spiritual practices to help you step into the essence of your true self.
- Develop Conscious Awareness
Stay committed to letting go of results, challenge old beliefs, and become fully present in life, listening to your next inspired step. You do not need to know the whole picture; take the next step that comes to and through you. As you trust your intuition by taking that step, you will always tune into your inner guided next step.
- Create a higher level of conscious awareness throughout your week to notice when you focus on your end game instead of being fully present in your next inspired step.
- Become the ‘Observer of Life’
Instead of being the controller or reactor, become the ‘observer of life’ by feeling the space without wanting to fill the space up quickly. Capturing the signs, symbols, opportunities, and synchronicities of life, as they are always guiding you.
- Pay close attention to the synchronicities of life with even the slightest of windows waiting for you to open and fully step in. Let Life In.
- Align with Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul
Create a daily spiritual practice to stay aligned with mind, body, heart, and soul, and connect with the clarity of your authentic inner voice and inspired vision streaming through you. You will shift beyond goals, living and leading as your higher self.
- Tune into your inner voice guiding you to the creation of your daily spiritual practice as a high priority. Commit to doing those things that genuinely connect you with your true self.
- Extreme Self-Care and Wellbeing
Become aware of what truly brings you joy and embody the fullness of those feelings throughout your day. Give yourself full permission to make time for well-being and self-care.
- Remember to always put your oxygen mask on first before stepping out into the world to be of service to others. Say ‘YES’ to yourself first each day with self-care and your wellbeing a high priority.
- Develop Heart and Soul Relationships
Create plenty of space in your mind and body for yourself and others to naturally show up as your/their true self. When you listen with all your senses in a state of curiosity and wonder, you will captivate the heart and soul of all your relationships. Your creative potential will naturally shine.
- Catch yourself quicker if you notice you are ready to jump into the space when communicating with others. Consciously create plenty of space for you and the other person to breathe and witness the magic as you both step into your true self.
Every transition, challenge, or change in your life, career, and business is the natural evolution and unfolding of your higher purpose and creative potential.
Shift the lens of your focus by looking inward and asking yourself empowering questions that will support the growth and momentum required for you to step into your infinite power as a highly intuitive leader of life.
