There was a time you knew things without needing proof. A feeling in your gut that turned out to be right. A hesitation you ignored, and later wished you hadn't.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to override that voice. We're taught to trust logic over feeling, other people's opinions over our own knowing, certainty over the quiet nudge that doesn't come with an explanation.

If you've lost touch with your intuition, here's how to start finding your way back.

Notice the difference between fear and intuition

Fear is loud, repetitive, and usually about the future — it spirals. Intuition is quieter, calmer, and usually about the present moment — it simply is. Learning to tell them apart is the first step. Ask yourself: does this feeling want me to shrink, or does it want me to pay attention?

Start with small decisions

You don't have to trust yourself with the biggest choice in your life right away. Practice on smaller things first — which route to take, whether to make the call, what to say yes or no to today. Every small moment you honor that instinct builds the muscle back.

Get quiet enough to actually hear it

Intuition rarely shouts. It tends to show up in stillness — in the shower, on a walk, right before sleep. If your days are wall-to-wall noise and scrolling, there's simply no room for it to surface. Even five quiet minutes a day can be enough to start.

Stop asking everyone else first

If your first instinct after every decision is to ask ten other people what they think, that's often a sign you've been taught not to trust your own read on things. Try sitting with your own answer before you go looking for outside validation — even if you still ask others afterward.

Let your track record rebuild your trust

Keep a simple log of moments your gut was right — even small ones. Trust isn't rebuilt through willpower alone. It's rebuilt through evidence, one instance at a time.

Be patient with the process

If you spent years learning to silence this part of yourself, it makes sense that relearning to trust it takes time. This isn't about getting it "right" every time. It's about coming back into relationship with yourself, one small moment at a time.

This is at the heart of what I explore in This Book Found You Because Your Soul Whispered — a gentle guide back to the parts of yourself you were taught to quiet. If you've been longing to trust yourself again, this book is here to help you find your way home.
