And I can tell you for certain that anxiety and intuition are completely different states of mind and body.
How to discern between anxiety and intuition.
Having confidence in our intuition is a process of self-awareness.
This is a super-stressful situation.
You walk around thinking almost 24/7 about whether your boss likes you or doesn’t like you.
Will he keep you based on your job performance?
Is she favoring the new person because they are younger, even if they’re less qualified?
you’re able to’t really stop obsessing.
You’re feeling anxious and need an answer or solution to feel secure again.
Your heart rate shoots up even further, and you fully believe you’re right.
You are sure you’ve hada psychic flash.
This is probably not true intuition.
You’re too far gone down the rabbit hole to be objective in that vision.
How to tell when it’s your intuition talking, not your fear.
You know by the state of your mind and body when you receive it.
You know by theabsenceof emotion that comes with it.
You get a flash of a person sitting at your desk at work.
you could describe them in detail.
You have zero emotional reaction to the person you see.
They walked through your brain like a photobomb, then you carry on doing the laundry.
Ten hours later, you have the same flash while driving to the pharmacy.
There’s still no emotional reaction, just more curiosity.
Now you might describe the person you saw in even more detail.
you could start to get a sense of who they are and why they are there.
You may be right; someone is sitting at your desk.
True intuition comes when we are not focused on the person or problem.
It comes in a whisper that is received as fully clear.
Fear and anxiety cause us to obsess, avoid, and overanalyze.
Intuition comes from calm, detached mindfulness.
It is nuanced, clear, and subtle.
Accurate intuitive information won’t cause or provoke more anxiety.
It will feel interesting, curious, matter-of-fact, and reassuring.
