Dear Readers -
I'd like to welcome our many new subscribers. We had a record number in December. For those of you who have been spreading the word about the Intuition Newsletter - a very big thank you! To subscribe, go to http://www.LynnRobinson.com or send a blank e-mail to: Intuition-On@lists.webvalence.com.
I just returned from a three-week trip to Florida. Just a few mornings ago, I was walking barefoot on a white, sandy beach. That afternoon I returned home to boots and white, snowy roads. This morning I woke up to find my whole neighborhood twinkling with reflected sun from icy trees. While I definitely prefer the warmer climate, the beauty of the scene made me appreciate the contrast. I read a quote recently by John Ruskin who wrote, "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up. Snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." Well said!
Happy New Year!
Intuitively yours,
Lynn

2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another." -- William James
"Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." -- Guillaume Appollinaire
Whatever reality you find yourself in is capable of being altered by you at any time you want. It is not altered by changing what is outside of you; it's altered by changing how you choose to process your life. -- Wayne Dyer
"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on." -- Iyanla Vanzant
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for it is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -- Harriet Beecher Stowe

5. WANT SUCCESS? FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION!
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Think of someone you know who leads a successful life. They exude an aura of calm and inner peace, yet you can almost see their "spirit." They crackle with infectious energy. They may have millions or they may not, but their success is obvious in their "presence." They enjoy life and they love to share that joy with others. Does that sound like you? It could be, because you have within you a mechanism that can guide you unerringly to a positive and vibrant life. That mechanism is intuition -- the compass of the soul. It's available to you 24/7, fifty-two weeks a year, ready to point you in the direction of energy, passion, and joy. And best of all, you don't have to be a "gifted" intuitive to take advantage of all that it offers. You can get started on a successful life - or a *more* successful life - right now by following these simple suggestions:
TRUST YOUR INNER WISDOM -- People who believe in trusting their intuition tend to be more successful in life. Intuition is often referred to as a "gut feeling." However there are many more ways to receive this vital information. It may come to you through feelings, words, physical sensations, images, fleeting impressions, or dreams. Learn to pay attention to how you receive these impressions and check in often with your inner "Intuitive Success Coach."
ASK YOUR INTUITION QUESTIONS -- When you're in the midst of a difficult life situation begin the habit of asking questions of your intuition. "What is it that I am here to learn?" "What is the best possible outcome for this situation?" The answer may not always leap into your mind. It takes time to retrain your thinking to "hear" the subtle messages from your guidance system. You may find that the answer comes in an impulse to try something different, or a gradual awakening to a new way of thinking about an obstacle you're confronting. Remember that your intuition can help guide you to peace in any situation.
DISCOVER WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO -- Each of us has chosen to come into this life with a mission that will bring us joy and enthusiasm. The root of the word enthusiasm is entheos. It literally means "God Within." When you feel enthusiastic about your dreams it means that God is speaking through you and saying "yes" to your goals! The feeling of enthusiasm is one of the ways intuition speaks to us. Successful people pay attention to what they feel passionate about. They commit to spending time each day doing what they love. For some it's a job that pays. For others it may be volunteer work or a hobby. When you feel excited about something, that's a hint about what to pursue.
PRACTICE GRATITUDE -- Ample evidence exists that you get what you focus on. Do you often whine and complain about what you don't have and ignore the abundance all around you? Begin to notice and appreciate what you attract easily into your life. Perhaps you have a healthy body or a wonderful group of close friends. Pay attention to small things around you -- the new flower in your garden, the sound of your cat's purr, the laughter of a child or the beauty of freshly fallen snow. Before you know it, abundance in all forms will begin to flow into your life. Intuitive guidance comes more easily when you are open to and appreciative of life.
SHIFT YOUR THOUGHTS -- If you accept that what you focus on becomes intensified in your life, why not put all your attention on what makes you happy, challenged and healthy? One of the techniques that works for me when I'm feeling upset is simply to ask myself, "Is there another way to think about this issue/concern/worry?" I catch myself in the early stages of worry and negative thinking and begin to focus on what I want instead of what I don't want. Become aware of the inner dialog you have with yourself. Ask for guidance if you need help with this. One client asked in prayer, "Please guide my thoughts, my words and my actions. I wish to think, speak and act with love." She was astonished at the difference this simple affirmation made.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF FEAR - Fear is the biggest hurdle that stops most people from achieving their dreams. It happens when you move out of the comfort zone of the life you've known and into a life on the borders of your dreams. Many of us feel the fear and say, "I'm not going one step further." Or "Give me a guarantee of success and then I'll move forward." Or even, "I feel scared. This must be my intuition telling me that this direction is wrong." As you take action on your dreams you may feel as if you're on the edge of a cliff. You're about to take a leap of faith and no one is there to catch you. But you're not alone. The inspiration and direction from your intuition is there to guide you safely to your hopes and dreams.
CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY --Part of learning to trust your intuition is remembering to ask, "Does this decision make me happy?" or "Do I feel energized by this decision?" There are many ways to ask the question and experience the answer, but here's the truth: your intuition will provide you with information to make positive choices. Research has shown that happiness is a choice. It is not necessarily dependent on life circumstances. There is always a positive and a negative aspect to any change that occurs in your life, but you get to choose your focus. Get in the habit of asking, "What's good about this situation?" You'll be surprised at the happiness that brightens your world.
