Divine timing or divine HIDING?
A lot of teachers talk about intuition as this beautiful, expansive feeling — whereas the voice of fear is depicted as being loud and uncomfortable.
They make it sound like when you’re “aligned” with your intuition, everything just flows effortlessly and feels like pure peace.
I don’t know about you… but my intuition can be persistent and at times, annoying as f*k.
Often, acting on my intuition doesn’t feel peaceful at all. Especially if I’ve been ignoring what she’s been calling me to do, for awhile.
Following your intuition can also bring up a different kind of fear and discomfort — because your intuition is always pushing you to grow and step into something new.
That kind of expansion — like any kind of rebirth or transmutation — comes with some tension.
Acting on intuition (instead of what’s familiar) forces you out of your comfort zone and into the unknown, and that feels anything but peaceful in the moment.
So the million dollar question becomes: “How do I tell the difference between making a decision from fear VS intuition?”
My answer?
Decisions that come from the fear of change are concerned with getting temporary comfort.
Decisions from intuition involve temporary discomfort, but eventually give rise to more peace, coherence, love or satisfaction.
This is why “calm decisions” aren’t necessarily your intuition.
Delaying the right decision might make you calm initially — because you get to avoid scary change. There’s often a temporary relief you get from staying in the familiar “hell” you know.
But that peace is a Band-Aid. It’s short-term comfort that leads to long-term stagnation, dissatisfaction, and regret.
Fear might feel safe now, but it keeps you from the future you actually want.
So, if you’re feeling anxious or uneasy, ask yourself — am I avoiding the discomfort that my dream life/relationship/business requires of me?
Sometimes the most expansive, evolved LIFE CHANGING choice will be the one you don’t feel like making.
Or the one that pushes you to become the woman you say you want to be.
Don’t confuse an easy choice with being the right one.
It’s easy to stay the same and never change. 👀
