You know when you get that feeling? "I want to make a huge difference! I want all the people to know how [this thing you sell/do] can help them!"
Instinctively, that sentiment has far less to do with whatever product or service you represent, and more to do with you getting to love on people in your own unique way.
Your work/gifts/time/attention is your love made visible. Find out how you like to love people best...showing them what *your* unique expression is, and you'll never "work" a day in your life.
Speak words of appreciation for their efforts and confidence in their success *before* they succeed.
Your intuition will point out areas in which it's obvious that they're on the right track. Point out what you see and sense in them, and watch their confidence soar.
You become a co-conspirator in their greatness. Your intuition knows what to say.
The thing about empathy is that most people don't know what to do with their own emotions, which makes having a healthy awareness of other people's emotions much more difficult. It's like we can see the other person is mad, sad, anxious, or confused, but translating that information into something that develops a connection (rather than an urge to fix, shun, blame, correct, or avoid) is the challenge. And it takes quite a bit of emotional intelligence to do it.
Weird thing about your mind: the quality of your thoughts change with your mood.
If you're trying to work through some past event, or imagine the future, and if you're grumpy, anxious, angry, sad, or confused, the past and the future are going to look clouded, uncertain, worse than they actually are, and maybe even totally hopeless.
Your emotions heavily influence your perspective. And if a big emotion is in charge of your brain at the moment, your perspective will be fairly unreliable.
So what are the best emotions to work through big thoughts?
If you can get your mood to a more satisfied place, your thoughts will stabilize and you'll find the spinny-outy narratives on both the past and the future change their tune. đľ
For an instant shift, try this on: "Everything is turning out better than I expect."
Turns out humans didnât begin to recognize that âthoughtsâ existed until around 1000 BCE. Instead, our ancestors might have experienced âthinkingâ as a more full-body phenomenon in which the âpassionsâ of the heart (instincts), the seat of the soul (usually the gut or liver), along with visceral sensations (ahem, emotions), shaped their experience of the world.
Everything was happening at the bodyâs level of awareness, rather than in the mind. No analysis. No logical progression of data. No overthinking, either (wouldnât that be nice).
How to âact as your own scientistâ to determine if an intuition is worth following:
⢠Write down your next ârandom insightâ as you receive it. Usually, it happens in the shower or while you're driving (you're relaxed). Do wait till you're done driving to write it down :)
⢠Act on it. Ideally the decision is relatively easy and low-barrier. Be brave to act. It's for science! đ¤Ł
⢠Note how you feel after you've acted on it, positive emotion = right direction (even if it feels risky); negative emotion = redirection needed
⢠Write down your observations. Repeat as inspired. Did the intuition lead you somewhere new?
Expansion requires exploration. Exploration grants you new experiences. New experiences give you new knowledge of what you don't like vs. what you do. All of this information is hugely important as you improve the conditions of your life. Because exploring new experiences builds your creative and intuitive right-brain; usually the missing piece from most people's level-up toolkit.
Maybe we're trying to dissect ourselves and the world a little too much? What if we'd be happier saying âto hell with my analysis, I'm just gonna go for it.â
Intuition is a form of âWhole-Mind Intelligenceâ that integrates emotional experiences and the capacity to perceive broad, big-picture views (right brain) with logical analysis and evidence gathering (left brain).
Itâs the best of both worlds. Instead of operating as a supernatural construct (although intuition can absolutely be helpful in a spiritual domain), it is a function of higher-order thinking, in which we combine our vast cognitive capacity with âembodiedâ information (the intelligence of the nervous system and subconscious mind gets to join the party, too).
