Have you ever felt that one thing was true, but you couldn’t prove it? That’s intuition.
Have you ever felt like something awful would happen, but you couldn’t prove it? That’s anxiety.
The difference between anxiety and intuition might seem like a fine line. But there is a genuine difference.
The experiences you have lived inform your every move.
Your intuition has led you to who you are today. You’ve made critical decisions at the right time for your life to unfold.
Intuition is coming to a clear answer based on all that knowledge and then doing something about it. It takes all your senses, past experiences, and feelings to make an educated guess about something.
Your intuition gets destroyed when you feed the fear.
Anxiety is an intense feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease that lasts for some time. It’s a product of an overly active brain.
When you block your intuition, consciously or unconsciously, there’s this constipation of wisdom trapped within your body.
If you have a particular mean anxiety, it might send you critical messages, which you might attach to your identity. If that part of your brain becomes clever enough, meaning you start repeating the same story, it becomes a pattern, so your intuition begins to blur out.
You might think that your intuition tells you to do something, but it’s probably just anxiety.
Clarity is being able to listen.
Some argue that a certain level of stress is good for productivity, but when you clear the clutter from your brain, more becomes possible.
Let’s say you have a project you want to work on, but you create so much anxiety around the “how-to” that you stop yourself from taking action.
When you have so much anxiety, your brain cannot relax. You’re stuck in a cycle, which makes you even more anxious, and leaves you unable to hear your intuition.
It’s like listening to a radio station that’s in-between stations. To listen, you have to change the frequency before getting a clear signal.
How could you unclog those communication channels, so you perceive the message directly without interference?
