The #1 Way to Stop Gaslighting Your Intuition

Let’s be honest—most of us weren’t raised to trust our intuition.
We were taught to be polite, logical, agreeable, and “reasonable.”
Even when we felt a clear gut feeling, we were praised for ignoring it and “punished” for following it.

Over time, we learned to override our knowing.
We called it being “nice.”
We called it being “responsible.”
But what we were actually doing… was gaslighting ourselves.

What does gaslighting your intuition even mean?

It’s when you get a clear internal nudge—but immediately second-guess it.
It’s when your body says no, but your mind talks you into yes.
It’s when your soul whispers, not this, and you stay anyway.

You start doubting your own signals.
You give more weight to others’ opinions than your own knowing.
You minimize your clarity because it doesn’t make “sense.”

I remember one moment so clearly. My body said no—loud and clear. Every part of me knew it.
But I stayed. I rationalized it, made excuses, told myself I was being dramatic.

And you know what happened?

I completely abandoned myself. My energy drained. My body tightened. I got a headache almost instantly,
and my whole body began to ache. I even wondered, Am I getting sick?—as if my brain was trying to disassociate
from the truth and create a new story, rather than acknowledge what had just happened: I went against myself.

I lost connection. I lost clarity. I lost trust.

That moment humbled me—but it also initiated me. It showed me what it really means to override your intuition.
It taught me that honoring your inner knowing isn’t a luxury... it’s a lifeline.

And I’m human and still fall into patterns where fear can still get louder than intuition.
But the difference now? I’m aware of it. I can feel the shift instantly. My connection is strong.
And my body—she tells the truth every time. I do my best to honor her, always.

That’s internal gaslighting—and it keeps you stuck in confusion, burnout, and energetic misalignment.

So, what’s the #1 way to stop doing this?

Listen the first time.

That’s it.
Simple. Powerful. Radical.

Stop waiting for the red flags to pile up.
Stop asking for 10 signs when you already got the answer.
Stop requiring “proof” that your intuition is right.
Stop waiting for a signier sign.

When your body, your spirit, your nervous system already know—act on that.

Intuition is a frequency.

You don’t need to explain it, justify it, or make it palatable for others.
Your intuition doesn’t speak in logic—it speaks in resonance.

When something is right, your body softens.
When it’s off, you feel the tension, the clutch, the static.
That is your truth. That is your power. That is your real intelligence.

Ready to rebuild trust with yourself?

Here are three practices to help you stop gaslighting your intuition:

  1. Name the knowing.
    When you feel it—say it out loud. “This feels right.” “This is a no.” It builds recognition.

  2. Act quickly, even in small ways.
    The more you follow the signal without overthinking, the stronger it gets.

  3. Notice the aftermath.
    Look back on times you followed your intuition vs. when you didn’t.
    What happened? Let your body learn from both.

Your intuition doesn’t need fixing—it needs listening.

You’re not confused. You’re just in the habit of abandoning yourself.

But that can end today.
You can trust your knowing.
You can walk with your inner authority.
You can become the version of you who listens the first time.

Because your intuition?
She’s been right all along.
