Ego vs. Intuition
Listening to your intuition takes practice and becomes like a skill. Whenever you feel like you need answer, the very first thought is your intuition speaking, but what comes after it is usually the ego (who only speaks in fear or logical) versus your intuition.
The ego mind likes to keep us safe and stay within our comfort zone. It likes to state “facts” that stem from fear, doubt, or worry. Whenever the information you are getting causes you to feel more anxious or overwhelmed - then this is a clear sign of the ego speaking.
The ego voice usually speaks about the past or future in the form of fear. It replays the past to prevent you from getting hurt again or it creates worse case scenarios to be prepared of what could be.
The intuitive voice is calm and reassuring. It is that gut feeling that you get when you feel something is right in your heart, but have no reason or logical to back up the feeling. The intuitive voice speaks in the now and guides you of how to take action now.
The real difference between the two voices is simply LOVE or FEAR. When listening within, take a moment to deep calming breathe and ask the following:
Universe/God/Angels/Higher Self, what should I do? Thank you for guiding me at this time to what is for the highest good and so it is!
Listen for the soft spoken calming tone of your intuition. It will guide you.
