You can learn to use your intuition to help you learn faster and with less effort, and you can educate your intuition to work better for you. Here are some shifts to make and points to consider, that when applied, can help you.

1. When you shift from judging and already knowing (knowing what is or being sure of what can be known) to curiosity and open mindedness...your intuition will be more often filtered into your awareness instead of being filtered out of awareness.
2. When you value your intuition, your own thoughts, feelings, and body sensations...more than you devalue these...it is easier for you to respect, value and accept yourself and your intuition.
3. Educate your intuition by learning about things to notice (categories, or kinds of information), and key distinctions (telling the difference between situations and conditions that may seem similar).
4. Respect the intuition of others; which doesn't mean accepting their intuition as your own...but as a good reason to check with your own intuition about the issue at hand.
5. Respect intuition as a way of knowing, a way of knowing as valid as seeing, hearing, receiving a report from a trustworthy witness, etc.
6. Calibrate your intuition, by testing in the real world to see when you are right and when you might be mistaken.
7. Give up fearing being wrong!
8. Use your reality testing skills with your intuition, just like you would with any other way of knowing. Look for two or three indicators of something, fit with other knowledge, etc. Remain aware that you might have interpreted incorrectly.
9. Understand that your intuition is nearly always correct, and that you can learn to interpret your intuition much more accurately...with practice.
10. Act on your intuitions more and more quickly, and when you take actions, notice what you learn from them. Before you take actions, notice what your intuition told you about those actions. Continue to gain experience by acting, and to calibrate.
