The 8 is Great challenge has been in swing for a few weeks now. (There’s still time to join. Full info can be found here.)
One unexpected outcome was the realization that this is also a fantastic exercise to build your creative intuition muscle.
Each day as you look through your 8 is Great list there will be one or more items that stand out.
Pause in that standout moment and really notice what that feels like for you. Your creative guidance may feel like:
- Your body slightly leans forward when you read that item.
- Your shoulders relax/tension leaves your body as you read that item.
- When you have a crush on someone.
- The item is in bold print.
- A little giggly.
- Bright.
- Louder.
- Exciting.
- Doable.
- Ringing in one ear.
- Some other unique emotion or physical sensation.
That feeling is your creative intuition, and as it guides you through each successful 8 is Great day you are strengthening your ability to interpret and follow your own internal guidance.
At first it is going to be very subtle. The more you learn to recognize it AND act upon it the louder and clearer the direction will become.
