I used to think feelings had no place in business.
I shut them out. Ignored them. I had to be tough.
Besides, my brain was the boss.
Thinking, not feeling, made me successful.
Now I know how wrong I was.
Feelings aren’t a distraction—they’re guides.
Access your intuition in business by noticing your feelings.
Here’s why:
Thoughts you repeat become beliefs. Beliefs become filters, affecting what you see.
We don’t realize this. We think our beliefs are facts.
This is a universal human trait, designed for fast decision-making.
Some beliefs help you:
- I can figure it out.
- There’s always a solution.
- Opportunities are everywhere.
When your brain sees the world this way, it becomes this way for you.
Other beliefs work against you:
- I don’t have time.
- I have to be perfect.
- There’s not enough.
These beliefs create results you don’t want.
Because we think our beliefs are true, we don’t question them. This is why we don’t notice when they work against us.
But there is a way to see through them:
Don’t believe everything you think.
Instead, notice how you feel. Negative feelings are signals—your intuition talking to you.
- Anxiety
- Urgency
- Frustration
- Overwhelm
A mismatch between positive outcomes you want and negative feelings you’re having reveals beliefs that aren’t aligned.
It’s a brilliant system!
But you have to be aware. Pay attention to your feelings.
When you tune in, you’ll always know if you’re going in the right direction.
The next time you feel a negative emotion, ask:
- What’s the negative belief?
- Will it create results I want?
- What do I choose to believe instead?
Your beliefs create your reality. Your feelings are your compass.
