Intuition and Creative Professionals
in·tu·i·tion: the ability to acquire knowledge and/or the rise of reason. The word comes from the Latin word “intueri” which is usually translated as “to look within”.

To be honest, the majority of decisions I make are based off of my intuition. Doing things based on ones intuition is not for everyone-especially those who are not as in tune with their inner voice and intuition. But this is what has always seemed to work for me and several others. If something does not feel right, I don’t move forward with it. Period. And I can honestly say that I can not remember a time when I whent with my gut and was wrong about a feeling I was having.

There is so much we can gain when we begin to create from within. Intuition is our silent partner in creating. Whether are creating the life that we want to live, creating a character for a play, creating a business plan, or creating and outfit or style for a client. As creative professionals we are constantly making choices based on how we would like the outcome of something to turn out. Now, I am not saying that we should never use logic..noooo not at all. What I am saying is that many times all the answers we are looking for and the direction with think other people can give us—-is already within us. Many times we have to just simply create from within.

  1. So so so so true. There were so many times in the past when I went against that inner voice that was telling me things were wrong for me–and they eventually proved to be just that–all wrong. Learning to listen to my intuition has been one of the greatest agents for change in my life.
