We all “ know ” more than we give ourselves credit for . We are born intuitive beings . Often our inner wisdom is taught out of us . We are trained to follow the guidance of our parents , teachers , religious and community leaders , instead of what we know in our hearts to be true . This is confusing and can cause us to doubt the divine information we receive 24 / 7 . My clients often state that they are aware of the messages but just don ’ t trust them . Or they don ’ t trust themselves enough to act on it . They are paralyzed with fear of being wrong or of letting down a loved one or mentor . So , they make the choice of nonaction . This results in missed opportunities .
Or they make a decision and agonize over if it was the best choice . They do not allow themselves to move past the choice into the next guidance and next right step . It effects their health and happiness as they are stuck in the loop of “ what if .”
Sometimes , it is the endless cycle of checking in with a friend or family member about “ what do you think ?” This creates disempowered decisions and decisions from fear of not fitting in .
In my years of intuitive readings and coaching , I realized that many people don ’ t trust themselves so they develop coping mechanisms to support them in attempting to make a decision that they can live with . The reality is that what they live with is not always in their highest good .

2 . Jump right in .
This is the style where you shoot from the hip and you make a decision without all the facts . Then , whether it ’ s hours later or years later you regret your decision .
3 . Agonize .
You ’ re paralyzed , and you spend so much time trying to either analytically make a decision and weighing all of the facts and / or all of the emotions that you literally cannot make a decision and so the opportunity passes you by .
4 . Analysis paralysis .
You push all of those instincts and intuition off to the side and lineup things on a piece of paper or spreadsheet with pros and cons and go completely with what your head says to be right even if there is a nagging doubt in your heart or in your gut that the spreadsheet is wrong .
