“Trust it”, they say.

“Go with your gut”, often heard when making decisions.

This may have paid off for you or those around you but you cannot quite explain why.

I need facts

Surely we cannot go with our gut instincts all of the time – what if they are wrong, what if they don’t pay off or worse you fail!

Good! Failing is what will direct us towards our ultimate goals and away from playing small and safe. Look, I like reassurance as much as the next person but my goodness the fruit you can pick from taking a leap is so very juicy!

I am advocating for allowing yourself some space to listen out for that little niggle, the positive voice promoting opportunity which we say we have no time for. The images you see from your childhood hopes and dreams resurfacing. If left unattended to, those  aspirations will work their way to your conscious mind and seek action.

Purpose

Every individual is born to seek purpose and meaning in their life and work. That is why we have those days when we say to ourselves seriously;

“What the f*** am I actually doing?”

We have a basic need to question our place in society and meaning in our work. When we do a job we truly care about dopamine and serotonin are released to allow us to feel motivated and safe. When we are stressed out and hating work, adrenaline and cortrosol pumps around our body telling us to get out of there!!

Physiologically we can recognise our response to our environment and this process is instinctive. We are instinctive beings and our bodies and minds will remind us with a number of signals what’s going on around us.

Dig deep

Lets talk fear.

Fear is the sole destroyer of relationships, dreams and playing bigger than you thought possible!

Fear is a catalyst for feelings of shame, doubt, insecurity, anxiety, panic and isolation. We are hard wired to avoid fear at all costs and our bodies will do the weirdest things when scared; sweat, cry, faint, rage, burn up, shake, increase heart rate, muscle tension, loss of bowel control!!!

Yes back in the day when we were cave dwelling mammals these responses to fear were useful – not in today’s modern society. These responses do more harm than good and we are witnessing adverse affects showing up in our daily lives.

Aside from the embarrassment of a pungent nervous fart we are finding an increase in IBS and digestion issues, insomnia and mental health due to problematic fears created in the work we now do – as far away as you could get from Sabre toothed tigers!

ID Sessions

Having personally been through an extensive learning journey over the past 2 years it’s time to share some lessons and experience of what works.

I’m guessing that you have been wondering what on earth;

Intuitive Design Sessions is?

I have created a community organisation to address the challenges we face in modern society. With the support of a community you will be able to share your experience, give and receive advice through events and workshops.

I am especially passionate about this work as I have found this type of environment to be useful in times of change. You can offer support and learn how to trust your intuition to create positive change in your own life and ultimately your community.

I am a firm believer in Personal Leadership – helping yourself will allow you to serve others around you with greater impact. If you can model the behaviour for greater health and success to your community they will rise with you – what better purpose could you ask for than to help your community around you to be the best they can be..?

If you would like to join an awsome community of positive people there are a number of ways to get in touch;

– Join/like the Facebook group
– Subscribe to this blog
– DM me on Facebook

Now all you need to do share with some friends and watch out for some simply inspiring and unique events in the New Year!

Thank you all once again for taking some time out to read my words. I love to hear your feedback as always.

Lead On,

Hayley
