“Calm down.”
‍‍
When someone says that to you - especially when you’re stressed or feeling emotional - it usually has the opposite effect, right? 😉

But hear me out...

While the phrase might be poorly timed in conversation, there is deep wisdom in the idea of calming your energy - especially when it comes to tapping into your intuition.

Your intuitive guidance thrives in calm. When your mind is racing, your emotions are high, or you’re overwhelmed, it becomes harder to hear that subtle, wise voice within.

So what can you do?

  • Think about the outcome you want, not the problem you're trying to solve.
    ‍
  • Then give yourself a pause:
    ‍
    • Take a short walk
    • Close your eyes and breathe deeply
    • Step away from your desk for a few minutes
    • Meditate, even just for 2–3 minutes

These small acts of grounding help quiet the mental noise and create space for intuitive clarity to rise to the surface.

The next time you’re feeling off or unsure, try softening the moment. Invite calm. And then listen. Your next step may become surprisingly clear.
