Why Women Have Unlearned Their Natural Intuition
Transcript
When it comes to how or why women actually unlearned, especially women unlearn to connect to their intuition. But first of all, I think it’s equally men and women that are not able to listen to their intuition.
And I think it is indeed a little more easier for women to connect with their intuition because men always feel like they have to live up to certain standards and like be very, very male, have that kind of mindset that doesn’t often allow them to really feel into what they’re feeling. So I feel like, for us women, it’s a little more externally let’s say accepted if we go deep within. So I think equally for men and women, it’s not a really easy thing to do.
But I think, especially if you look at history, obviously women were not allowed to vote and we didn’t, you know, we’re not allowed to make any decision that we want to make work in any work scenario that we that we wish for. So that wasn’t possible. So our ancestors who had the programming, especially with women who have the programming of not being able to decide what they want to do, they had to live up to the standards of what others wanted to do. And so in our DNA, we still have that setting. So it’s really hard for us to just completely get rid of it and think like, you know, I’m doing anything, I’m doing whatever.
That’s not how we were born. Like we have to kind of train ourselves to get into that mode.
So I think that’s why it’s especially tough to kind of relearn to connect to your intuition. But fortunately, now we’re in a time where we, as women do have the power to choose what we want to do when to actually go after what we want.
So, um, I think we should utilize it and we should try to really connect our intuition because it will get us farther than anything else externally that you can consume.
