✧・゜: how i'm learning to trust my creative intuition :・゜✧:・゜✧

hey lovelies! ✨

i've been thinking a lot about creative intuition lately, that quiet inner voice that nudges you toward certain ideas or projects. for the longest time, i was absolutely terrible at listening to it. i'd get these little sparks of inspiration and immediately talk myself out of them. "that's been done before" or "you don't have the skills for that" or my personal favorite: "who do you think you are?"

sound familiar? thought so.

the thing is, i've slowly been learning that my intuition actually knows what it's talking about. those random ideas that pop into my head at 2am or while i'm in the shower? they're not random at all, they're my creative compass trying to guide me toward what truly lights me up.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ recognizing intuition vs. fear ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

the first big challenge was learning to tell the difference between my intuition and my fear. they can sound weirdly similar sometimes!

my intuition tends to feel like excitement mixed with certainty, like "yes! this!" even when it makes no logical sense. it feels light and expansive, like opening a window in a stuffy room.

fear, on the other hand, feels heavy and contracted. it comes with a lot of "shoulds" and worrying about what other people will think. it's the voice that compares my chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20.

i started keeping track of when these different voices would speak up, and slowly got better at recognizing which was which.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ creating space to listen ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

intuition doesn't shout. it whispers. and in our noisy, constantly-connected world, those whispers can get completely drowned out.

i realized i needed to create actual space to hear myself think. for me, that looks like:

morning pages: three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing before looking at my phone

solo walks without podcasts or music (just me and my thoughts)

intentional boredom: staring out windows, lying on the floor, letting my mind wander

reducing input before trying to create output (no scrolling before creative sessions)

it's amazing what starts to bubble up when you're not constantly drowning it out with other people's voices and ideas.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ the "stupid idea" notebook ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

one of the most helpful tools has been my "stupid idea" notebook, a judgment-free zone where i write down every creative impulse, no matter how ridiculous it seems.

the name is intentionally silly to remind myself not to take it all so seriously. some ideas truly are stupid, and that's perfectly fine! but some turn out to be the beginnings of something meaningful.

the rule is simple: write it all down, evaluate later. this creates a safe space for intuition to speak without immediately being shut down by my inner critic.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ small intuition experiments ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

trusting your intuition is like building a muscle, you start small and work your way up.

i began with low-stakes creative decisions: which color to use in a drawing, which topic to write about in my journal, which route to take on my walk. when something felt intuitively "right," i'd go with it, even if i couldn't explain why.

gradually, i started trusting my intuition with bigger choices: which project to pursue, which opportunities to say yes to, which creative direction to explore.

with each small win, my confidence in my inner guidance grew stronger.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ embracing the "wrong" turns ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

here's the thing about intuition: sometimes it leads you down paths that seem to go nowhere. i've followed creative impulses that resulted in projects i never finished or ideas that didn't work out.

but i'm learning that these aren't failures, they're necessary detours. every "wrong" turn teaches me something i needed to learn or leads me to connections i wouldn't have made otherwise.

intuition isn't finding the most direct path; it's finding YOUR path, with all its twists and surprises.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ letting go of external validation ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

perhaps the hardest part of trusting my creative intuition has been detaching from external validation. when you follow your intuition, you might create things that don't immediately resonate with others or fit neatly into what's trending.

i'm still working on this one, honestly. but i've noticed that my most intuitive creations... the ones that felt most aligned with my inner voice, are ultimately the ones people connect with most deeply, even if the audience is smaller.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ a gentle practice ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

trusting your creative intuition isn't a destination, it's an ongoing practice. some days i'm better at it than others. sometimes fear still wins. but each time i choose to listen to that quiet inner knowing, it gets a little louder, a little clearer.

if you're struggling to trust your own creative voice, start small. create tiny spaces of silence. write down the whispers. follow the sparks of excitement. and be patient with yourself when you forget.

xoxo, mindy 🤍

To experience more synchronicity and 'coincidences' we need to listen and be aware of the world around us and also our intuition.That's how the universe speaks to itself, it's an ongoing flow of information that comes from both the outside and from within.Pay attention to how the universe speaks to you today and participate in the flow by being attentive and by listening to your inner voice.

Some outside hooping action! With my lovely light turquoise hoop and new veil with it! 😍😝🤩 Omg it's sooo addicting and fun and easy to play with! I almost didn't want to put it down while I was dancing with music for almost 2 hours! And the weather was pleasant enough to wear this 2 piece jumpsuit outside and my legs weren't cold 😋

Plus, you can definitely see my favorite colors shown in this set of pics 😝... I was going for a graceful and dramatic feel, did I accomplish it?

💖 More hooping pics are over on my Patreon

Intuition

I trust you per repetition,

More than I should, won't listen,

I go: with the flow,

Even if in opposites,

The current ebbs.

When I row, it's a bit reckless.

Sure

Intuition's my friend,

When I don't know.

Quick-thinking?

Don't think so..

It ebbs & it flows.

Sharp, it'll hit you-

On the nose.

Watch your toes!

Thats the way the Story goes.

Written in Intuition-

One go!

Above the Red Line

8/11” Alcohol Ink on photo paper This piece has been in my drafts for a couple weeks. Now, it’s totally appropriate to share. I have the worst flu I’ve ever had! I’ve been confined to my bed for literally four days. We can’t afford for my husband to get sick since he’s the only one supporting us, so I’m staying isolated. My 102 fever finally broke this morning, it’s a start. It’s gonna be a…

Don’t chase the answers or rush the process, trust in the unseen that is unfolding ✨

Hi! I really like Starstruck! I was wondering if I could enter my Kirby OC Peony into the Shipaganza thing? She would absolutely love Starstruck, she is a Floralian adult approaching 30, it doesn’t let me ask on my other blog where all her references and info are but I could definitely send them if you’d be up for it considering her! I absolutely adore Starstruck, she’s so kyoot and bubbly and gah!

hi there, thank you so much!! you sure can; just submit a link to her reference and a prompt on what you think they'd be like together! i've never drawn a floralian before so that's exciting, and as a bonus peony's are my personal favourite flower!!

also you might not need this in particular but because some folks are struggling a little with prompts (especially ship ones, which is the premise of the month) some ideas could be: how do they Catch The Feelings, or what might they do on a 'date'!

As a Witch is very important to go with the flow in everything you do, but especially in your Magical Practice. Let your soul & spirit guide you in your spell work and your rituals will be a lot more powerful & effective. 💫🔮💕✨

I spent 3hrs today creating a new art portfolio website on a new platform only to find out it was not, in fact, free. I found this out after I finally finished making the site.

Anyways that's how my Friday went.

assembly meeting on 21 june '91, re: the flight to varennes

Reubel: M. de la Fayette will appear: I make the motion that the president question him to find out if it's true that for several weeks an instruction was given to the castle not to let the king out after midnight.

Barnave: I'm stopping M. Reubel. This is not the moment for throwing out suspicions on those who alone can re-establish order. M. de la Fayette has shown, since the beginning of the revolution, the views and the intentions of a good citizen; he merits trust, he must have it, and I request that we give the order to every citizen to take up arms, but in expectation and immobility, until a decree from the legislative body puts them into motion.

This motion was strongly applauded.

How the hell did he get away with that.
