Inspiration from mom’s great intuition
Ever felt that mom’s have the best intuitions? What we can learn from it?
I’ve sat to eat lunch with three moms at my new job. 2 new moms, 1 more experienced.
They shared how is it to be a new mom in an environment that always expects you to raise your kids in a certain way.
Family members that don’t understand why you don’t come to dinner.
Or friends that tells you that you’re too hard and try to be more easy going.
I felt related to that. Being around my sister, a new mom, made me understand and relate to those feelings.
By the end of the conversation, the experienced mom, gave them a mini motivational speech. She made them reframe their hard feelings and how they see themselves.
Instead of hard mom - you’re connected to your intuition and gut. Keep trust it.
Instead of easy going - you’re being loyal to yourself and devoted for raising your kids.
Listen to your inner voice is a compass
Why this conversation caught me? Because I always had challenges with listening to my inner voice. I ask many different people on a specific topic/problem, and this distort my ability to listen to my inner voice.
However, I also know how it feels to learn from your own trial and error, or to make decisions that are you.
As time progress I find how to balance what I’m sharing and to who. I’m also developing being more intentional about what guidance or constructive feedback I seek for.
Yes, I want to hear different perspectives, but I don’t want to let my intuition be the last resort. I want to be able to mix my own thinking, with ideas that refines me.
Build your own intuition, and trust it
The best way to get better at listening to your inner voice is by being able to hear it, and then act on it. I find that spending time with yourself, listening to your thoughts, write them down and talk to yourself, make me more aware to what’s in there.
More practically- is right when you have this negative feeling inside you, when you abandoned your intuition and feel upset. This is the moment when you can sit and figure out what you really wanted, understand what forces, people or situation made you go in a different direction that made you feel that way.
When you listen to your inner voice, you’re happy and confident, and you got the opportunity to learn from your own moves. This effects your environment because 1) when you happy, they happy. 2) you’re more honest and they will appreciate this.
