Intuition isn't a mystical gift reserved for a lucky few. Theresa Cheung's "21 Rituals to Ignite Your Intuition" treats it as a skill you can train, with small daily practices that quiet the noise and help you hear the signals you usually talk yourself out of.
Her framing stuck with me: intuition is trust in yourself and trust in your life.
How the Book Works
The book offers 21 short rituals across three parts: morning rituals to awaken your intuition (creating quiet before the day's noise), daily rituals to develop it (paying closer attention to your body, your surroundings, and other people), and evening rituals to release it (letting go so insight can surface).
The suggestion is to add one new ritual a day over three weeks, then keep whichever ones clearly help. For me, the "think back" ritual, replaying the day in reverse, was one of the most insightful.
One of mine: I've built my own morning version around the book's "shower insights" ritual. I say four affirmations ("I feel happy, I feel healthy, I feel terrific, I feel loved," picturing my dad's love) and then jump into a cold shower. The mix of that warm feeling and the cold water is a full-body wake-up that sets the tone for the day.
