 Hello everyone and welcome. My name is Melissa Armell and I am the Stock Swoosh and tonight I'm going to lecture on intuition. When you are doing something in life that's very important to you or when you have challenges in life or when you're trying to overcome obstacles or when you're trying to make a big decision and you can't make up your mind about something in life or when you're trying to make a decision about investing or in a trade, having a very heightened intuition, being in touch with your intuition really, really helps. Now all of us, everyone walking on the planet has the ability to be able to access and hone in on their own intuition and listen to it. The problem is that many people don't trust their intuition. They second-guess themselves all the time. Now how do you learn to trust your own intuition? You trust yourself and also get yourself in a very, very centered and focused place. What do I mean by focus? Meaning whatever it is that you have to make a decision on or whatever trade you want to take, you have to decide what you're trying to achieve from that. In other words, what's the goal? So for example, if you decide that you want to trade, then you need to know what is the goal. You want to make this much money, per month you want to make this much money, per year you want to spend this much time doing it. What is the goal and is the steps that you're going to take that you're thinking about taking going to help you achieve the goal or are they not? Is going along in the same manner going to help you achieve the goal or not? So what intuition does is you take all the information that you have available to you, concrete information to make a decision, and then you use intuition on top of that to help you solidify what you're trying to accomplish or do to take the next steps forward because so many people are scared to take steps forward, whether it's in career changes, whether it's in moving to a different location, different state, buying a house, buying a car, whether it's trading, investing in the market, taking trades. A lot of people are so scared because they can look at all the facts and still not be able to make a decision because they don't trust that they're going to make the right decision and they're not honed in enough for their own intuition. I'm going to give you an example here. So I had a mentoring session last night with a student with Gallagher and he said, how do you know, Melissa, that this stock is going to go to this number? How can you tell that? When it's never hit that number before, it's not even on the chart, the move hasn't happened, it hasn't gone there yet. How do you know? I said intuition. It's intuition tells me that. Now, I have a system, I follow the system that's true, but when I make calls sometimes that seem absolutely astronomical or crazy, crazy, meaning like, how could I see that that would happen? It really is my own honed in intuition and how did I get so honed into the market to stocks to see that these stocks are going to make certain moves. It's because I've been doing this for a long time and because I've been so focused for such a long time. So because I've been so focused on reading the price action in gaps, whether it's buying or selling, that has created a honed in intuition for me to be able to see the price action, how it's going to work and where it's going to go. And but there's another overlay there, why my intuition is so honed in because I trust myself. I trust myself implicitly to make good decisions. Most of the time, every once in a while, I might do something where I look back and I say, gosh darn it, I should have done that, but it's not that often. So I really, really, really trust myself. If you're at a place in your life where you feel broken or poor or down and out or you don't have enough confidence in yourself or you feel like your life is just going in a complete and total really wrong direction, whether it's with your career, your personal relationships, you got to take a step back and say, why are things this way? And can I do something about it? And is it time to start believing in myself and having conviction in myself and trusting in myself? Because if you can do that, you're going to be able to hone that intuition part of you that intuitive side of you where we take all the facts and all the information and then you use your intuition and you get it strong and strong and stronger and you tighten it where it's an overlay then to the facts what helps you to be able to move forward in life and make decisions to take action towards creating your dreams and making things to come true because a lot of times, people just don't believe in themselves and they don't trust their intuition. I'm extremely intuitive. People see that play out every single solitary day in the training room and my friends and personal family and people that know me that are in my personal life have seen my intuition play out in my own life and my ability to be able to trust myself. It's a process. You've got to teach yourself to trust yourself because when you're able to trust yourself, you're going to help strengthen your intuition and that's going to be an overlay to help you make decisions and choices in life. Things that you think might be hard to make now, the easier in the future or you're going to make those choices effortlessly and then you're going to realize that you have the ability to be able to trust yourself and that you in fact can make good decisions. It doesn't mean that things are going to happen in life or you'll never make a mistake, but it means that you will be able to move forward making decisions more confidently and as time goes on, your intuition will get heightened and you'll be able to tell or see things whether again, whether it's with the market or training or other people that you're interacting with with life where you're just watching and you're standing back and you're listening and you're seeing how things are coming together. When you're in that place where you are very, very focused on your goals, what you want to achieve, you you will get the right direction how to get there. The answers will come to you if you allow yourself to be open enough to trust yourself to hear the answers. I'm telling you, everyone has the ability to heighten their own intuition more. Everyone. So, think about that so you can get in a better place whether it's with choices in your life or trading and that's the lesson for tonight. Have a great night, everyone.
