Start Here: Have Compassion for Yourself
Written by Derek Wolf for Learn to Be Intuitive at L2Bintuitive.com
If today is your first day learning to be intuitive, good.
Let it be.
Let it be your first day without shame, without self-judgment, and without comparing yourself to where you think you should already be.
Everyone wants to get clear.
Everyone wants to feel certain, confident, connected.
But what nobody says out loud is this:
Learning to listen to yourself often begins with unlearning how you’ve been treating yourself.
And that takes compassion.
Not the soft, fluffy kind
but the kind that holds steady when you’re frustrated.
The kind that reminds you, “This isn’t failure. This is practice.”
Because here’s the truth most people avoid:
You will doubt yourself.
You will get it wrong.
You will override your own knowing sometimes—even after you swore you wouldn’t.
And that doesn’t mean you’re not intuitive.
It just means you’re human.
So instead of beating yourself up every time you miss a signal or override your gut, do something different:
Start again.
And lean forward, not backward.
Don’t spiral into “I should’ve known better.”
That pulls you into the past.
That feeds resentment.
That keeps you stuck.
Instead ask:
What did I learn?
What did that moment show me about how I react under pressure?
How can I support myself better next time?
That’s what learning to be intuitive really looks like.
Not floating in a mystical state of clarity
but learning to pause, check in, and start again with grace.
Your progress won’t be a straight line.
Some days you’ll feel wide open.
Some days you’ll feel shut down.
Some days you’ll hear your inner voice clearly.
And some days it’ll feel like static.
That’s okay.
What matters most is not how quickly you “get it right”
but how gently you respond to yourself while you’re learning.
So if today feels like your first day, let it be.
If it feels like your tenth restart, let that be too.
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re rebuilding trust with yourself—moment by moment.
And the next moment is always waiting.
So keep leaning forward.
You’re not here to get it perfect.
You’re here to get honest.
And that’s enough.
