8 Signs You've Lost Touch With Your Intuition

Here are eight signs that your intuition may be blocked:

If you lack mental clarity and often struggle to make good decisions, it's a surefire sign that you’re not tuned into your intuition. When you communicate with your intuition regularly, a combination of your inner knowing and outer synchronicities can team up to help you make aligned decision that steer you toward the highest good for all.

I’m not suggesting that intuitive people are complete flakes, but sometimes intuition requires you to say “no” when you previously said “yes.” This happens less when you’re really tuned in because you tend to intuit the “no” from the beginning.

You trusted him. You trusted her. He was your lover. She was your best friend. Then they slept together. OUCH! What happened? When you’re not tuned into your intuition, you may feel blindsided by betrayal, even though all your friends saw it coming a mile away. If you insist on only seeing the best in people and blind yourself to their shadows, you may be blocking your inner knowing. Intuition gives you red flags that warn you when something is coming.

When you’re out of touch with intuition, you make decisions from your mind or your ego, and regret is a common side effect. Intuition helps you make regret-free decisions because it guides you in the direction of the greatest flow, ease, integrity, and alignment with your soul’s unique journey.

If you can change yourself to be like the jocks when the game is on, like the churchgoers on Sunday morning, like the mindful yogis in yoga class, and like the party girl on Friday night, you may not be fully tuned into your intuition. While flexibility is a great quality, there are no masks to wear or personas to throw on when you're really following your intuition. Intuitive people are always true to themselves, and they're unapologetic about it.

When you ignore your inner guidance — even when it seems crazy — you shut yourself off from opportunities for personal growth and miss out on the chance to be someone's miracle.

When you’re not tuned into intuition, you’re far more likely to expect someone else to make decisions for you — even the important ones. As a doctor, I saw this all the time in the hospital. Patients who were not tuned into their intuition would give away all of their power and ask their doctors to make every decision. Those who are tuned into their intuition might question doctors a bit more, or they may instinctively sense what lies at the root cause of their illness.

Discernment is key when it comes to tuning into spiritual guidance. I never trust people who tell me their intuition is perfect. But with that in mind, I can assure you that when you’re tuned into your intuition, you experience much less self-doubt. Over time, as you start to see seemingly miraculous things happen when you follow your intuition, you’ll develop evidence-based faith. You’ll learn to feel confident about your intuitive guidance, and you'll be left with far less self-doubt.
