Intuition: 11 Great Reasons to Develop It
There are so many good reasons to develop your intuition in addition to hearing your own inner guidance more clearly.
Setting the intention to connect daily to your intuition leads to a reduction in the distracting, fearful and often sabotaging voices in your mind. That allows the true voice of your own inner wisdom to surface above the noise.
Tuning in to your inner wisdom helps you find your purpose in life, develop better boundaries and say “no,” feel joyful and more satisfied, reduce stress levels, have better focus, less worry and more peace of mind and improve memory and decision-making to name just some of the benefits I wrote about in my best selling book, “The Intuition Principle.”
Another benefit of developing your intuition is gaining a greater sense of your own power.
Developing your intuition brings clarity around who you really are and what you were meant to do in this life. When you’re aligned with your purpose you become clear on your value and that leads to to greater self empowerment.
When you’re self empowered you take action toward your goals and become an advocate for yourself to ensure that you live a fulfilling and meaningful life and living up to your full potential. You stop looking outside of yourself and relying on others to advocate for you or to make you happy or fill you up. You become self reliant, self sufficient and completely whole in every sense of the word. You take responsibility for every aspect of your life.
Realizing that your purpose benefits others helps you become more confident in yourself. Having more confidence means you falter less in your decision making and make progress more easily toward achieving your goals.
Confidence also comes from hearing your inner guidance clearly and successfully following it. Each time you follow your intuition and it leads to a successful outcome you develop greater faith, trust and confidence in yourself.
More Confidence and Self empowerment
When you feel empowered you take more action to achieve your goals and taking more action is what leads to success. Your less “confused, and stuck in overwhelm” because you have a clear sense of where you want to go and the confidence that you can get there. You’re not held back by insecurities of “not knowing what to do.”
Self empowerment gives you the confidence to know that you’ll take the right action to learn how to do what you need to do to get it done. You’re not always waiting for something outside of yourself to “get started.” When you lack confidence and feel disempowered you’re always in a “getting ready to get ready mode” instead of actually starting something. “Getting ready to get ready” is the illusion of thinking you’re doing something.
When you’re not clear on your purpose and the value you bring to the world you feel indecisive and shaky when making decisions. You do all sorts of things like “busywork” that don’t actually amount to anything because you’re unsure of what to do. This lack clarity and confusion on what action to take next is a vicious cycle of not being sure and either doing the same things over and over again or suddenly changing directions without putting any real thought into it. This cycle of feeling so unsure of yourself and doubting your direction, purpose and value are really disempowering and just ends up making you feeling worse.
The way out of this vicious cycle is to go within and build a strong connection to your inner wisdom; your intuition and letting it guide you. Working on your intuition is a practice of staying ever present and being mindful.

Angela, great post. For the past year I have been struggling with understanding myself more. Through this process I have discovered my MBTI type is INFJ. Though I have used intuition all my life, I never truly understood how it worked or of what true benefit it could be to me and the world. Only recently have I decided to pursue a career which I would be able to help others find their true purpose in life. Your article shed more light on true benefit of intuition than any of the past articles I have come across.
Hi Chris,
I’m glad you found Powered by Intuition – Welcome!
And I’m happy that this article gave you a helpful insight on Intuition.
Great. Glad I could help!
Be well,
Angela
Great post! I have been focusing more on developing my intuition lately. I recently finished reading Loving Yourself to Great Health by Louise Hay, Ahlea Khadro, and Heather Dane, and this book talks a lot about the importance of developing a strong sense of intuition. I have been focusing more on listening to what my body needs. For example, at night when I am feeling tired, I get myself to bed. For so long I would push through and continue to work or socialize because that is what I thought I was supposed to do or what others wanted me to do. Now, I am honoring the power of sleep and my body’s desperate need for plenty of it. It is empowering to listen to what we need! Thank you for the tips!
Dear Annie,
That’s a huge step! Listening to your own inner guidance about getting the proper amount of sleep vs. doing what you think others expect, etc.
Congratulations!
It’s my pleasure to share these tips with you and a pleasure meeting you too.
All my best,
Angela
