Intuition is and is waiting to be awakened in all people. In order to tap into it all you must do is to make four important decisions. The first decision is to be open to intuition. Being open to hearing voice of your inner teacher is like turning radio to you spirit "on".

The second decision is to expect intuition to guide you. When you enter into a state of expectation, you create a magnet that draws intuition into your awareness. The third decision is to trust you intuition when it does show up. One way to do this is to get a small pocket notebook and record every single intuitive feeling that you have over next two weeks without censoring. If you do this, what you will have is evidence that intuition can be trusted. And finally, fourth and most important decision is to act on your intuition. Learn to do this by playfully inviting your intuition to guide you, beginning with "where are my keys? And leading up to "What is my purpose in life?"

If you make these four decisions; be open, expect, trust, and act on your intuition, you will transform a life from ordinary "me against world" into one that is extraordinary - "me, a spiritual being, -here to lovingly create and contribute with divine support." This is natural way, and as it should be.

Only a discussion about what’s going on can get us inside one another’s mind and heart. In heat of moment, such a discussion may have to be postponed, but for good relationships and learning, it does need to take place. The feelings need to be addressed, and often-misinterpreted nonverbal displays untangled.

INTENTIONALITY

If you want to model good deeds for your child, and make a cake to bring to an ailing neighbor, be sure you address all parts of action, e.g., make sure you’re teaching what you mean to be teaching. This is Intentionality, an EQ competency. If you perform act begrudgingly, as some sort of onerous “duty,” throwing ingredients together and complaining whole time about how overworked you are, you will have defeated your deeper purpose. Unless you mean to teach that life is about detrimental self-sacrifice and suffering.

If on other hand, you happily make cake and dance out door to deliver it, your child may miss point that sometimes helping others may require some inconvenience on one’s own part.

Many things we do contain ambiguity, hardest thing for kids to figure out. ‘Does Mom like what she’s doing, or doesn’t she?’ Emotions are complex and so are our motives. We need instruction in their management. I recall telling my niece, “No I don’t like to clean toilets. However, I like feeling I get when house is clean.”

OUTCOMES

In workplace, if you cheerfully take on extra assignments, you put yourself at-risk for being taken advantage of. If you’re putting forth extra effort, you don’t need to wear a hair-shirt about it, but if you don’t point out what you’re doing, it can and will be used against you. Typical boss mentality dictates “Sheila never complains, so she’s OK. Fred complains all time. Therefore I’ll give Fred a raise.”

EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION

One of EQ competencies is emotional expression. However, EQ isn’t only about emotions, it’s about interface between thinking and feeling. We always need to explain ourselves to others, our “self” including both actions and feelings. Therefore we use our intellect to explain our emotions. Good relationships require letting others know how you’re feeling right away, alerting them immediately if they’re off-course. It requires explaining “that look on your face.”

Martha was having trouble at work. She was told in her performance review that no one liked to work with her. In coaching, she discovered that when she was focused, she had a look on her face that was misinterpreted as anger. When she became aware of effect she was having on others, she learned to modify her nonverbal behavior, i.e., to stop and smile when concentrating, and explain, so others would not be off-put.

OTHERS ARE WATCHING … AND MISINTERPRETING

Whatever you’re doing, know effect you’re having on others. Check it out!

The above-mentioned piece ends with “How will you touch life of someone today?” The adult task is to care, know, and check it out. Be sure you’re touching lives of others today way you mean to. It’s emotionally intelligent way.
