That Little Voice We Keep Ignoring

You know that feeling when you just know something? Like when you almost sent that text, but something made you pause… or when you randomly called your friend right when they needed to hear from someone?

I used to think that was just weird timing or pure coincidence. Turns out, it’s actually your intuition doing its thing.

And before you roll your eyes thinking I’m about to go all woo-woo on you – I’m not. This stuff is actually backed by science now. Your gut feelings aren’t random. They’re your brain processing a ton of information faster than you can consciously think about it – a combination of emotional awareness, energetic clarity, and lived experience speaking before your analytical brain can catch up.

Science now confirms what wise grandmothers and monks have known for centuries: intuition isn’t luck. It’s trainable.

Why We Miss Our Own Signals

Here’s what I’ve learned working with people through mPath Services: we’re so busy analyzing everything to death that we forget to just… listen. To ourselves.

The research is pretty clear on this – people who take time for things like breathwork or even just sitting quietly for a few minutes get better at picking up on their own inner signals. It’s like training a muscle, except the muscle is your ability to trust yourself.

Some of my best decisions (and my clients’ too) didn’t come from more spreadsheets or endless pros-and-cons lists. They came from getting quiet enough to hear what we already knew.

Your Turn

Next time you’re stuck on something:

• Give yourself 3 minutes before you decide anything big.
• Take some real deep breaths (not those shallow stress ones we all do) and ask yourself: “What do I already know about this?“
• Start noticing when you get those strong gut feelings – write them down. You’ll start seeing patterns.
• Create some space between when something happens and when you react. That’s where the good stuff lives.

You’re smarter than you think. You just need to get out of your own way long enough to hear it.

Let’s get better at this together.
