Learn to Listen: Your Intuition is Never Wrong

When people say they don’t trust themselves, what they usually mean is:

“I can’t tell which voice to listen to.”

We’re taught to “listen to our intuition,”

but we’re never taught how to tell it apart from our thoughts.

So, everything gets thrown together like kitchen sink cookies.

Fear sounds like protective guidance.

Urgency sounds like intuition.

Overthinking feels like decision-making.

And that’s where things get messy.

What Confusion Actually Feels Like

Confusion doesn’t usually feel dramatic and theatrically discombobulated all the time.

It feels like:

• going back and forth in your head

• wanting clarity but feeling pressured to decide

• asking five people for their opinion and still feeling unsure

• thinking nonstop but not feeling settled

You might even say,

“I’ve thought this through.”

But your body still feels tight.

Restless and unconvinced.

That’s your first clue.

Your thoughts are busy zooming in every corner of possibility, but your body isn’t calm. Your nervous system is flailing about while your mind is creating scenarios out of thin air. All while sipping that cup of coffee or writing that email.

Two Different Systems Are Talking

Here’s the part most people miss.

There are two different systems giving you information —

and they don’t sound the same.

Perception (the mind)

Perception is your thinking mind doing its job.

It pulls from:

• past experiences

• learned beliefs

• fear of repeating pain

• social conditioning

• pattern recognition

Perception sounds like:

“What if this goes wrong?”

“This reminds me of last time.”

“I should probably…”

“What would make the most sense?”

It often feels:

• urgent

• loud

• circular

• tense in the body

Perception is trying to keep you safe.

It’s not bad.

But it’s not neutral.

It interprets.

It predicts.

It reacts.

Intuition (the body)

Intuition doesn’t analyze.

It doesn’t convince.

It doesn’t rush.

It shows up through the body as:

• a steady yes or no

• a calm pull toward or away from something

• a sense of “this isn’t for me” without a clear reason

• something that feels simple but hard to explain

Intuition often feels:

• quiet

• grounded

• neutral

• oddly clear, even if the decision is uncomfortable

And here’s the key difference:

Intuition doesn’t create pressure.

Perception can, and a lot of times does.

Learning Which One You’re Listening To

Most people think intuition should feel exciting or obvious. It usually isn't.

More often, intuition gets overridden because perception is louder.

Here’s a simple way to tell the difference in real time:

If the voice your hearing inside you says:

• “Decide now”

• “You’re running out of time”

• “You need to be sure”

• “What if you mess this up?”

That’s perception.

If the information feels:

• steady

• calm

• not dramatic

• clear without being loud

That’s intuition.

Instead of asking,

“What do I think I should do?”

Try asking,

“What feels steady in my body right now?”

That question moves you out of analysis

and into awareness.

A Practical Way to Practice Listening

You don’t need to meditate for an hour. Try this instead.

Next time you feel stuck:

Pause.

Put a hand on your chest or belly.

Ask quietly:

“What do I know beneath the noise?”

Then don’t answer mentally.

Just notice:

• does your body soften or tighten?

• does something feel heavy or light?

• does one option feel calmer, even if it’s uncomfortable?

That’s information.

That’s intuition speaking in its own natural language.

The more you practice pausing,

the easier it gets to tell which voice is which.

What Changes When You Get This Right

When intuition leads:

• decisions feel cleaner

• your nervous system calms down

• you stop outsourcing direction

• you trust yourself faster

Life doesn’t suddenly get easy.

But it gets clearer.

Clarity doesn’t remove challenge.

It removes confusion of capability.

And intuition will never push you faster than your system can handle.

That’s perception’s arena — not intuition’s.
