Trust your intuition. Follow your instincts. These are phrases we’ve all probably heard many, many times. But if you’re anything like us, intuition often gets swapped with lengthy pros and cons lists, hours of research, and just a whole lot of overthinking. You too?! Finding a way to not only listen, but also find confidence in that inner voice is easier said than done. (Far easier.) Especially when we have so much information at our fingertips and so many external opinions everywhere from our workplaces to social media platforms, learning to tune into ourselves is becoming an increasingly difficult, yet incredibly important practice. So how do you tap into your intuition? How do you quiet down all the outside noises and stay attuned to your instincts? We hope these 20+ intuition quotes give you extra inspiration to show your inner voice the love and respect it truly deserves.
What is the definition of intuition?
The definition of intuition is: (knowledge from) an ability to understand or know something immediately based on your feelings rather than facts; an ability to understand or know something without needing to think about it or use reason to discover it, or a feeling that shows this ability.
According to Psychology Today, intuition is “highly efficient—if you don’t think about it too much.” In this sense, intuition is less about reflecting and more about listening to an innate feeling. None of this to say it’s not important to be curious and ask yourself questions about why you feel a certain way, but we find it’s important to nourish a relationship with your intuition — especially when it comes to making decisions.
