Join Me in Honoring Women's History Month Through the "Roar Series!"

 

"I am woman hear me roar!" -Helen Reddy

As many of you are probably aware, the month of March is nationally recognized as Women's History Month.
And I couldn't be more excited.

To celebrate, each year, Pen and Prosper devotes this month to showcasing the gifts, talents, wisdom, accomplishments, and collective "awesomeness" of women across the globe...
Women who are trendsetters, trailblazers, and true kindred spirits...
Women who are making a difference through their words and through their works.
Accordingly, I invite you to join me here as we amplify women writers' voices through the "Roar Series."


Save Time
– Intuit Your Success
by Maribel Steel

“I feel there are two people inside me –

me and my intuition.

If I go against her, she'll screw me every time,

and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.” --Kim Basinger

How often have you felt caught between logic and intuition when making decisions?
Your reasonable thought process will measure outcomes, deduct and analyse all the pros and cons of a situation and then come to a decision. Intuition by its very nature will kindly ask you to reconsider the mind’s logic.

As women, we possess a direct perception of truth known as the sixth sense. When we act upon sensory messages coming from a reliable internal net, this is viewed by male companions as ‘changing our minds’ rather than listening to our inner voice. It’s a gift to know when to act on valid advice, independent of reasoning.

Even though women have an amazing ability to tap into a deep sense of ‘knowing’, we can still fail to listen closely to the wise voice encouraging us towards our personal goals. It’s part of being human. We want to make the ‘right’ choices every time.

I wish I had paid heed to my sensory perceptions a few months ago, when I found it difficult to make choices about rebuilding my website. Intuition was asked to remain silent while my mind furiously processed all the ‘right rules’ to achieve success.

I think it was because I felt too inexperienced in the blogosphere to trust my internal dialog when there was a global community of experts inviting newbies to feast at their table of free advice. Of course I would come to the party!

Within seconds of asking the great Google-oracle to fire up its search engines, there were several blogging gurus on the screen dishing out good solid advice.

The steps were simplified. Just follow the prompts to success – and all my marketing and design problems would be solved.

Sure. Why not? Download a course or three, read another dozen posts, join the not-to-be-missed webinar, sign up for daily newsletters. Intuition could rest assured, knowing that pretty soon I’d have all the right tools and clout to design and market my website.

The only problem was: my mind slipped into a mud-bath of confusion.

Like a little web-piggy, I went in search of more and more free food for thought. I followed so many bloggers and writers dishing out oodles of great treats, it didn’t take long to engorge the mind.

Before long, personal taste had been numbed by spicy-advice. I wasn’t sure who to agree with – they all had fabulous ideas.

Creativity suffered because I was trying too hard to mix a cocktail based on the successful sweet blend used by other writers and entrepreneurs around the world. I lost the balance between the knowledge of the experts and my own feelings for intuitive design:

So this little web-piggy went all the way home, which wasn’t very far, and collapsed into a heap. Once the mind was quiet, intuition spoke kindly to my heart – let’s play and create together, OK?

Turn up the Volume – Listen to your Heart

So when you are seeking a direction, a boost to your creativity or looking for ways to intuit personal success -

*Trust you know more than you think you do

*Use your playful nature to create

*Follow your gut feelings even when you can’t explain them

*Act when you have clarity of inner vision

*Disengage from logical argument when the heart wants to rule

*Cultivate self-improvement, not perfection – life is a work in progress.

By trusting your sensory-impressions every day, choices will become clearer. Your creativity will be inspired and you will be led to take the ‘right’ steps with confidence to achieve your outcomes.

Follow the only real voice of authority – your intuitive self!
