Intuition or Fear?

Last Updated on February 20, 2016

One of the questions I’ve grappled with: How do you know if it’s your intuition and not just thoughts?

I came across this posting from The Art of Sensitive Living Blog that explains a few ways to tell the difference between intuition and fearful thoughts. A lot of it comes down to the way you feel when you’re experiencing the insight or the thought. Intuition tends to bring about positive feelings whereas fearful thoughts often make you feel bad.

–When you experience intuition, there’s often a feeling of simplicity, clarity and peace that comes along with the knowledge, even if it’s about an outcome you don’t desire. In other words, you’ll likely feel calm.

–When you’re experiencing fearful ego-based thoughts, you often feel confused, upset, and feel that you have to know more. If there’s an emotional charge with the thought, it’s probably not your intuition.

    Good post. I always worry that I’m wishing for certain things to happen rather than it being intuition. I’ll keep the feelings in mind.
