A guilty pleasure!? I'm not sure if I like how that sounds... or if I love how that sounds. Either way :). you're welcome and thanks for watching and sharing.

Guilty pleasure...like decadent chocolates before dinner....there are many things I could do...but hitting pause to watch brings joy. Not much guilt...helps me recenter into happy being. Happy Holidays Michael!

I also can't be on electronics the way that I once could (because I'm now sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies) . In theory, I'm very strategic about what I choose to do when I'm on my phone on my laptop. My intuition gives me a "hell yes" so far ( except one) for these. :-) now I'm going to sit here in my car with groceries in the back seat for 5 minutes and watch your latest video. LOL

Nice to see you!!!! Ok so, not related to fishing nets, how do you know when its your intuition saying no for your protection or you just saying no because you don't want to get uncomfortable or stay in your box??????

Great question Tania. The answer may be less exciting than you'd hope.

Practice. Testing and observing. In time and with experience I think we can all get the swing of it but I also suspect, the feeling state that goes with knowing which is which is different for each of us.

I've heard this question before and asked it myself and found I was never really satisfied with the answer. In the end, it's because I don't think someone else can give you the answer. Sorry. But I have just named a process that I think will work for everyone.

In my own experience, it was quite often after a choice was made that I realized if it was one or the other. Much like all the "No's".

With enough of those experiences, where you're paying attention to the results and feelings, you develop something of a capacity for knowing; first... after the decision, then... at the time of the decision and finally...before hand. It becomes something of a 6th sense (no dead people required).

I've gotten good at this in some areas of life and then in others, I'm still learning.

Stick around for next weeks video where i'll dig into this a little deeper as I share a recent story of where I talked myself out of what I knew and fortunately for me, had a friend call me out on it.

Thank you for the question.

I'd love to hear more about how you are able to discern and if it changes depending on the situation.

Yes!! Often times I need that affirmation of the "no" after those attempts, so that I get that feedback that affirms I knew all along. I guess it reinforces my intuition and knowing.
