Whenever there's a decision to be made or something really needs my attention, like many of my clients I often catch myself saying, "I just need to figure it out."
As a result, I ended up spending a lot of time in my head trying to use my intellect and reasoning to come up with a solution - when I could be slowing down, getting quiet and listening to my intuition.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re looking at the intelligence that goes beyond just our brain.
Whether we call this “inner knowing” that comes from within - Spirit, inner teacher, intuition, gut instinct, divine intelligence, or spiritual team, there's so much wisdom to be found if we can just slow down enough to feel our way through a situation.
It is the reason why over the years I’ve learned to hit the pause button and check in with my body and it’s “three brains’ — the mind, heart, and belly —- for navigating life's challenges.
So if you find yourself caught up in the stress and pressure of needing to “figure it all out”, I encourage you to take a moment to sit still, get quiet, go within, take a few deep breaths in and nice long exhales out, connect with your intuition, and trust your “inner smarty-pants” to show you the way.
Find balance between using your mind and listening to your body, and you might just find the answers you've been seeking.
