Listening to my intuition

My justifying mind (JM) is always trying interfere/overcome my intuition. Sometimes my JM wins...these days it’s more of a rare occurrence. My intuition is strong and jarring. When I feel it, its crystal clear and unmistakable.

I signed up for a Master NeuroStrategist certification program that is awesome, I want to go to, and is important to my career. Five days ago, I had this powerful intuitive hit to "pull out--now's not the right time--go next year." My JM dove in and said, things like "what? you love this stuff" "you've already signed up" "people are expecting you to be there" "you already have a hotel room and roommate" "you need this training for yourself and your clients" "just get it over with" and on and on and on.

Despite all that chatter from my JM, my intuition is steadfast. Now's not the right time. I'm not interested in playing the justification game with myself or anyone else. That game steals energy, power, and time. I’ve never liked how the justification game feels. Conversely, I always feel great when I listen to my intuition.

Now's not the right time. Decision done. Clear, simple and quick. It feels good, right and strangely important in a way that I don't understand now. Maybe I’ll know “why” later…maybe I won’t. Regardless, see you next year certification training.
