A few years ago I kept a journal of stream-of-consciousness thoughts.
I would start with the writing prompt, “What do you need to know today?”, and then write whatever entered my mind without consciously considering the topic.
One particular day, I wrote the words, “Your life is about to be turned upside down and inside out.”
When I wrote this in my journal, my life was chugging along normally. I had no idea what this statement meant, and I moved on and forgot about it.
Three months later, my life was turned upside down with a huge life change I never saw coming.
When I read back over my journal, I was shocked to see the words I'd written months earlier.
Why did I write this before I had any conscious awareness of the portending upheaval? How did I “know” that my life would be turned upside down?
I believe my intuition was speaking to me before my analytical mind had a chance to notice the signs or pick up on the subtle signals that must have been swirling about me.
Have you ever had something like this happen to you?
Maybe it wasn't as dramatic as my journaling scenario, but I'm sure you've had “gut reactions” or intuitive feelings that have guided your decisions — or should have.
