We are going to talk about intuition, or in other words, listen to your sixth sense and learn to recognize your own signs. They are always there and help you in your search for a lighter life. Which does not mean a superficial life; precisely not because you are busy living more consciously.

Connecting with your sixth sense can be strengthened in different ways, such as through conscious practice and development of your inner sensitivity. My 9 questions to you are meant to start that process or deepen it if you have been doing it for a while.

There was a time when I had shut down my sixth sense, due to a traumatic experience in my youth. I remember that I was very young and I unconsciously received all kinds of signs, signals/inspirations that I understand now, but not then. After the traumatic experience they were no longer there and I didn't receive anything for years. To the outside world I had a great life, but motherhood made it clear that it was time for a change. Everything seemed great on the outside, but on the inside I wasn't happy at all. I had to let go of a lot of uncertainty and chart my own course. My upbringing, education and environment had not prepared me for what motherhood made me feel. I wanted to do it so differently from what had happened to me and what I had seen around me. That's where my search began and through that I came into contact with my intuition, my sixth sense. I received so many signals and signs that I was not alone in my search, that I was being helped and that my feeling was important. Through my own search I have been able to help countless women and I have now become accustomed to the fact that there are women who on the outside seem to be doing great, but who know that something is not right and share that with me. Perfectionism, need for assertiveness, need for proof, hardly being able to take a rest. Maintaining 'the picture' takes a lot of energy. In order to change that, it is important that you know what is going on and what you need to let go of. What no longer suits you. That is why I came up with this assignment for question 1.

Letting go hurts. Often you want to hold on to what you know. Because if you start growing, who are you then? How will people recognize you then? 'You are no longer yourself...' That is something they might say to you? What do you say then? Change is difficult. And especially if you are not supported in it. You do not know where you will end up. And how your process will go. You can lose control. But that is also important. Letting go of control and trusting that things will get better. I had no choice but to change when I became a mother and I am so happy about that now.

Write down what can touch you so much. What you keep running into. What would you like to let go of, but is so attached to you that it just doesn't work? These can be thoughts, feelings, or people. It doesn't matter that it's not out of your life yet. Knowing what it is and being able to describe it is a great first step to working on change. The outside world is a mirror. What do you see?

You may search for who you want to be, regardless of your upbringing, your education and your environment. And this first question will help you with that.

So draw yourself (it doesn't have to be accurate or pretty) or stick a picture of yourself on if drawing is really too difficult for you and write words around it that indicate what you want to let go of.

In my case that would be that I am not beautiful and not good enough. Gosh, that has determined my life for a long time. I got it from home. The first thing my father said when I was born was that I was ugly. And my mother was never happy with me, always found me difficult and stubborn. That creates a beginning that you have to fight against for a long time. In the meantime I know that it is such nonsense and that it is just a period in your life that you yourself have had no influence on. It is not your life and not the truth. So look at yourself and write down what no longer suits you, but was thought up by others and you have often heard. You can decide for yourself who you are and which words do belong to you. So when you have finished the assignment about what you want to let go, write down what does belong to you.
