Intuitive Living is All About Trust

Intuitive living encompasses every area of your life where you want to be intentional, without being obsessive. You want to honor your body, pay attention to your needs, and not over-complicate things or be too restrictive.

What being intuitive comes down to is trust. Trust in your body, trust in your own signals, trust in your entire health and wellness journey.

Trust Your Body

The first thing you will learn to trust in the intuitive living journey is your body. Your body will tell you what to eat and when to eat, as well as what types of exercise will make you feel the best in the moment.

Trusting your body is the first step to an intuitive lifestyle, as being more intuitive with your choices can feel like a big gamble. If you have already started intuitive eating, then you have gone through this experience. You no longer track what and how much you eat, how many calories you burn, or even the nutrients you are consuming.

In the beginning, this can feel really scary as you worry about “losing control” and gaining weight without ever stopping. You just need to pause, and understand that your body knows what to do to keep you healthy, as long as you can listen to it and trust it.

Trust Your Intuition

You also have intuition that is further going to help you make healthy choices every day, but it requires a lot of trust. Not only do you trust your body during this process, but you trust your mind. Your mind is going to guide you in the right direction, where you intuitively know what to do in any given moment.

The more you practice mindfulness, journal your thoughts, and pay attention to how you feel, the more your intuition will tell you and guide you in the right direction.

Trust Your Wellness Journey

Having all around trust in this journey you are on to be more intuitive and come out the other side a healthier, more balanced person is vital to your success. This is what is going to help prevent you from falling back into bad habits and restrictions.

Throughout this journey, keep checking in with yourself. Make changes as needed, and look into yourself to see what your body and mind need the most. Some days, this might mean releasing endorphins through a run, and other days you might find that a short stretching routine is best for your aching muscles.
