Trust the Inner Nudge — A Message from the Soul
A Thought to Begin With
“Your intuition knows what to do;
the trick is getting your head to shut up so you can listen.”
Linda Poindexter
Lately, I’ve been paying closer attention to the soft nudges. Those inner whispers that often get lost in the noise of the day. A moment of hesitation, a flutter in the chest, a sense that something isn’t quite right.
These moments aren’t random. They’re messengers. The more I slow down, the more I notice them. And the more I notice them, the more I trust myself.
Something to Read
What happens when we stop overriding our intuition with logic and instead ask,
“What is trying to tell me?”
Something to Think About
It’s not just about survival—it’s about guidance.
Our intuition speaks softly, guiding us in the spaces between thoughts.
✨ When was the last time you felt something deeply—even if you couldn’t explain it?
✨ Have you ever regretted not listening to a gut feeling? What did you learn from that moment?
✨ What would trusting yourself a little more look like right now?
✨ What signs or signals do I tend to overlook, even though they often prove true?
Take a moment to sit with any of these that call to you. Let your answers flow without judgment.
Your intuition is not outside of you. It’s always been there, waiting to be heard.
Something to Watch
“Intuition Is Free”
In this lovely talk, Jannine Barron reminds us that intuition is a tool we all have access to. The challenge isn’t whether we have it—it’s whether we’ve made space to hear it.
From My Healing Shelf
I made this printable deck with slow mornings in mind.
Each card is a small invitation—to trust your instincts, to reconnect with your inner self, and to explore the quiet truths that rise when we pause.
Something You Might Try
A Gentle Practice
Take five minutes today and sit in stillness.
Ask yourself: “What have I been feeling lately—but ignoring?”
Don’t try to fix or label it. Just notice. Let the answers rise on their own.
Embracing our intuition—the quiet messages from our body and soul—can lead us to a more grounded and meaningful life. It’s not always loud. It doesn’t always come with logic.
But it’s always ours.
Take a moment today to listen. You might be surprised by what you hear.
