Hey lovebug, 

Have you ever gone a few months too long on getting your car’s oil changed?

And have you ever, oh I don’t know.. (totally making this up here)…  ended up on the side of the highway during rush hour traffic on a random Tuesday afternoon because your car suddenly SHUT OFF because it had ZERO OIL left in the engine?

(or that’s what you come to find out from a bewildered tech at the Toyota dealership hours later.)

And did you ever stop and think, as the cars zipped past you on the side of the highway, the wind absolutely ruining your hair, that some part of you knew this would happen?

What's that you say?

This hasn't happened to you? 

Just me?

Well then.

Consider this a cautionary tale from my had-to-learn-it-the-hard-way twenties.

I’ve definitely learned innumerable life lessons via the trial-by-fire method in my life.

(That very car situation being one of them.)

You know, looking back on this particular car situation, my intuition was working incredibly well.

It was on point.

It was trying to tell me to go get my oil changed—FOR MONTHS—so that my life wouldn’t be so hard down the line.

I heard it, felt it, knew it.

I just put my fingers in my ears and ignored it.

Have you ever been in this situation? 

(PLEASE tell me I’m not alone here.)

Okay yes. We all learn some things the hard way.

Oftentimes we learn things over and OVER the hard way until we get it.

I think that’s why I love teaching intuition so much.

You can cut down on some of the pain and suffering (a good deal of it actually) by learning what your personal intuitive tells are and then following them.

There are a few parts of learning to trust yourself.

Part one is figuring out how your intuition works. 

Part two is discerning that it is your intuition (instead of fear or worry) coming through.  

Part three is trusting the information.

Part four is acting on it.

It’s a cycle you repeat again and again and again. 

Daily.

Now, if any part of that process isn’t followed, you’re sunk.

In the car situation, I knew my intuition was coming through. I felt it. I discerned that it was probably true that I needed to get my oil checked.

But I didn’t act on it.

I pulled the e-brake (so to speak), crossed my fingers, and went about my day. I didn’t trust myself, and frankly, I paid the price. (Oooh, and it was a costly price to pay.)

When you look at that sequence of trusting yourself, can you see where your self-trust falls short?

Is it part one, two, three, or four for you?

Or does it depend on the situation?

If you’re intrigued about how your intuition works, book a psychic reading and specifically ask for information on how your abilities work. 

It’s been the starting place for many clients who now use their intuition in their work, their relationships and their daily life.
