With all that in mind, how do we improve our ability to hear our inner voice and our inner directive and what it wants from us? Matter of fact, how do we also improve our ability to tune out our anxiety and to stop it cutting over the intuitive frequency? The first thing I do when I really want to tap into what I truly want and I'm thinking is that I spend time in solitude.
I take a step back from everything. I spend time by myself, particularly in nature. I find that firstly, that calms my anxiety. I always say this, the best way to regulate your nervous system is to put it back into the environment it was made to work in. Your nervous system, your stress response, it was made for the wild. It was made for this so-called natural habitat.

That's where it's going to be regulated best. So being outdoors helps with that. It also makes me more focused on what I truly want. So being That solitude part is really, really essential. I also think if you're trying to tap into your intuition, spending more time alone, it's not just that it's a cure for anxiety in some way. It's also that it stops you from approval and opinion seeking.

So that is often a symptom of someone who is quite anxious and quite obsessive in their thoughts. You're often asking people for their opinion constantly because you can't trust yourself anymore.

being away from that temptation is really helpful and I think when we are constantly looking for other people's validation of our decisions and what they think we do cut ourself off from our self-knowledge because our own thoughts we start to question them in favor of what someone else thinks and really what do they know like what do they know about what you feel Probably not much.

They're applying their own intuition about their life to your circumstances when your circumstances are probably entirely different. And there's this incredible study from 2023 actually conducted in Australia that found those of us who spend more time alone, we are more self-aware and we are more satisfied in terms of autonomy.

Autonomy being our ability to make decisions for ourself and believe they are good decisions. Now, I will say a small caveat here. You can't spend more than 75% of your time alone. Another study kind of gave us that figure. Also another study from 2023.

So finding that balance between being able to appreciate solitude and isolation in a sense, but also not tip too far over the edge, really important. The other way to strengthen your intuition is to be patient.
