“Flex your intuition muscle.”

AT:

“Tell me more about that muscle.”

AF:

 “I think that our intuition is like a muscle,

and if you don´t use it, it atrophies.

If you don´t use it

or don´t even know how to identify it,

 then you also don´t even know

that you have intuition

 or it exists to begin with.”

AT:

“Like my abs.”

AF:
“Like your abs.

And the way you get stronger

 in your intuition

 is by using it, working it out.

By having the courage

 to act on your intuition,

 to listen,

to actually pay attention to

and be in constant consultation with it.

I have gotten stronger

and been able to pinpoint what I feel

 and how I feel it.

 I know in the moment,

when I get that feeling in my gut,

 a holding or a flowing,

 either way I know what´s right for me,

yes, maybe it´s going to be

uncomfortable to act on it,

but I´m going to do it.

And once I´ve done it,

everything feels so much better,

and so much more aligned.

Like a good workout.”

AT:

“You´ve worked out that intuitive muscle!”

AF:

“Yep! And after you do it

 one time-even just once-

 you now know about that muscle

 and how to get it to work for you.

That it is there to serve you.

You learn that listening to your intuition,

even if it´s hard,

will always end in a better outcome.

And when you act on it,

it may not always be 100 percent right,

 but at least you´re headed in that direction.

 You are stretching

and strengthening that muscle.”
