Friends, you’ve got to stop calling your intuition names.

If you always introduced me to people as “my weird friend Susan”, or constantly referred to me as “bizarre”, or “freaky”, I would probably avoid you too. But that’s exactly how we talk with each other about our intuitive experiences. Labeling them this way discredits them immediately. By categorizing intuition as unusual, we keep it in the margins and away from what we consider normal.

Instead, try being nicer to your intuition. Include it in your daily life. Consider that it wants to help you with the little stuff in addition to the big stuff you deal with every day. Watch your language around it and see how it responds. A little bit of kindness goes a long way.

(Hint: Use “interesting”, “amazing”, “fascinating”, “helpful”, “grounding” instead. Much better words).

Also, truthfully? I might secretly like it if I actually was your Weird Friend Susan.

But you get my point.

Love,

Susan
