Trusting your intuition
What happens when we ignore intuition
Focusing on the solution
Hearing your own voice again

Key Takeaways:

It’s important to pay attention to your intuition and to trust it. There is a sweet spot where intuition and data meet, but that opportunity doesn’t always present itself.
Ignoring intuition is ignoring a level of intelligence that’s needed in this world. Intuition is a sensory faculty that sees, hears, and understands data that isn’t easily uncovered by ordinary means.
We live in a world that’s saturated with many different kinds of fears. We should be able to listen to that fear but instead of feeling doomed, focus on how we could change what we need to in order to make things better.
Find silence in your life. Turn off everything, and put the noise of the world out of your head so that you’ll be able to hear your own voice again. This is where intuition starts and this is how you’ll be able to cultivate it.

"Someone who’s intuitive is a data gatherer in their own right." — Andrea Edwards
