Back in 1999 I remember borrowing a slim book from the library. I don't remember the title. Only the two words and concept that jumped out at me:
Impulsivity versus Intuition.
The paragraph distinguished between the two in a way that has remained with me to this day. Basically both are voices/ feelings that coexist inside us. The former is short term. The latter isn't.
If a voice screams inside our heads to do something RIGHT NOW!!!!! Then that is impulse talking.
Intuition is different, it is that whisper buried underneath all the noise and distractions; it can both inspire and terrify us.
It is harder to hear easier to ignore.
But it never.
Ever.
Leaves us.
Intuition often feels counter-intuitive, insane and illogical (to others). It is difficult follow.
Still, it is the most incredibly joyful, rewarding place to be for those choosing to follow.
Although I am good at listening to my intuition, recently, I discovered and personally experienced a new set of problems:
- My intuition clashes with someone else's / another group's impulsivity (yikes!)
- My impulsivity clashes with someone else's / another group's intuition (oops!)
Distinguishing amongst above said variables can sometimes be challenging but it IS worth doing 💓💓
