Article:
Everyone has intuition; it's hard-wired in us. Everybody
wants more intution; it's a great lifeskill for
problem-solving, generating solutions, and making good
decisions. It can be developed, but you have to have a
certain mindset to develop and strengthen it. These are
things NOT to do if you want to become more intuitive.

1. Be in a hurry

2. Have no symbolic ability. Don’t participate in or enjoy
any of the arts.

3. Be unconcerned about your integrity or purposes in
wanting to use intuition.

4. Let your ego run away with you, having to be right,
controlling and in charge.

5. Not learn how to differentiate between intuition, fear,
and wishful thinking.

6. Hang out with people who don't believe in intuition,
know about it, or use it. Intuition is contagious and so is
lack of intuition.

7. Try and invoke your intuition with willpower or force it
in any way.

8. Believing that logic, analysis and rational thinking are
the only way or best way to solve problems, make decisions
and generate solutions.

9. Not being able to still the executive function of your
brain--the part that scans, is alert, worries and analyzes.

10. Not getting coaching or teaching so you get feedback on
your skills as they develop, learn how to manage your ego,
and keep yourself off overload as you learn.
