Take some time and really listen to your own inner wisdom. - From a fortune cookie

Our inner wisdom is more powerful than we may realize. It contains a wealth of specific knowledge tailored for our own lives. Most of us try to find our answers with outside or external methods, but those only go so far. There always seems to be something lacking. Additionally, looking for answers in the external cultivates a feeling of “I don’t have control over my own life.”

All of us hold the answers to our most pressing questions. We always have access to that information, but we either don’t listen or don’t know how to get in touch with our inner wisdom.

Here are some techniques that may help you get in touch with your own inner wisdom:

1. Learn to quiet the mind through regular meditation or other similar techniques.
2. Take solitary walks. Many times you will get in touch with yourself more when walking in nature.
3. Ask yourself out loud the question you need answering and then go do something else. Sometimes this frees up the mind to work on the problem, somewhat like a computer program running in the background.
4. Ask yourself the question out loud. The first answer you hear in your head is usually your inner self.
5. Learn to recognize your inner wisdom voice. It’s typically the quiet unobtrusive voice barely heard over all the mental rabble going on in your head. It can also come out in strong urges or feelings, ideas that pop into your head and etc.
6. Cultivate a belief that you have the answers to all your questions or problems. This in turn will generate self-trust which will allow you to hear your inner wisdom.

Getting in touch with you own inner wisdom will give you a sense of self-control over your life, open a world of creative solutions to your problems, give you access to wisdom that is designed just for you and in the end, help you to have a happier, more fulfilling life.

Have a great day!
