Even if you have ignored your
intuition for years, it has not disappeared. It may be quiet, but it is still
there, waiting for you to listen.
Trauma, conditioning, and the
habit of prioritizing others' voices can bury your inner knowing under layers
of doubt. But intuition is resilient. The moment you start making space for it,
it begins to re-emerge.
Starting Small
The process often begins with
subtle signals. A gentle sense of unease in a certain situation. A small pull
toward a particular choice. Acting on these small nudges builds trust. Your
intuition learns that when it speaks, you listen.
Patience and Practice
Rebuilding trust with yourself
takes time. You may miss signals or misinterpret them at first. That is part of
the process. Each time you try, you strengthen the connection. Give yourself
permission to get it wrong while you relearn how to listen.
A Gentle Reminder
Your intuition is not here to
control you. It is here to guide you. It will not punish you for past neglect.
It will simply keep offering guidance, waiting for you to tune in.
I once spoke to someone who
felt she had "lost" her intuition after years in an environment where
her voice was constantly dismissed. When she began honoring small preferences —
what she wanted to eat, how she wanted to spend her weekends — she noticed her
deeper guidance starting to return.
Practical Ways to Reconnect
1. Daily Check-Ins – Ask
yourself each morning, "What do I need today?"
2. Follow Small Desires – Say yes to the little things that bring you joy, even
if they seem insignificant.
3. Remove Noise – Limit time in spaces that drown out your own voice.
Why It Matters
Listening to your intuition
changes your relationship with yourself. It deepens self-respect, strengthens
confidence, and creates a sense of partnership between your mind and your inner
voice. No matter how far you have drifted, it is always possible to come back.
