Just as a follow up. I received the 10% raise I requested. I felt that negotiating a lower rate was an ego move and I felt more confident sticking with the rate I wanted. FYI There weren't any other negotiable benefits.

I work with many talent brands and one of the issues that I could not really explain, was knowing when the fear (ego) was ruling their decisions regarding their career. To say to them that they are building up a wall as they repeat the thoughts of fear against their inner guidance system (God) is great way to explain it. Thank you so much.

ah thank you for this!! makes so much more sense after watching it a few weeks later. thank u for sharing the part about how the inner guide is a visceral feeling as opposed to the ego which is about logic and intellect and how its gonna support me in the future and how to guides me from the past and what its gonna do for me in the moment. a self reflection reveals how i may have been operating from a place of ego and I'm willing to choose to trust my inner guide instead

I did this, and I asked for guidance. When I was done, I felt I needed to keep writing. It said "The Lord and God will help you. They will accept you." I had chills. I've never poured my heart out like this before and it feels awesome.

Thank you so much!!!! I need to slow my life down more to be more in tune with my ing. I believe that is why I am here. to strengthen my soul. To become a better version of myself.

I agree that the ego is oftentimes coming from a logical, rational, analytical place and the intuition is more of an essence...a feeling. Although, I'm sure it's a little different for everyone. Where I don't agree is that she says that if you're "new to the work" you're probably in your ego..or you probably have ego come up first and have to work on intuition. What a huge and therefore inevitably flawed generality(!) There are plenty of people who are SO connected to inner intuition and have never read a single book or watched a vlog or even have thought much about it objectively--people who are intimately bound to this essence. Many times they're from a simpler way of life and more grounded into what's important ...love, connection...the senses. Some people don't have to "Unlearn.." their narrow minded ego-ic perspective...I've found often these people aren't Americans or from Western world, but still, for Gabby to use that as a basic way to define (the difference between ego and intuition) it is way flawed in my opinion. Further, I've found amongst my american counterparts and myself, it's often time the ESSENCE that guides us FIRST that whispers in our ear... (Just DO IT! Take the Leap! You've got this!) and then the RATIONAL mind, that swoops in with its dose of fear and doubt that picks apart that first hunch that was very well rooted in wisdom. Which is -unless I misunderstood what she said, but it seemed pretty black and white-the opposite of Gabys advice here.

Wow! Thank you for this. I have held the intention of listening to intuition since May of this year, but have truly been meditating on it since September. Shortly after my intention, I had an experience that called strongly on my intuition. I have struggled with this distinction because the "thing" I feel to be true is also the thing that I desire. The ego (I assume) has thrown doubt at this and suggested wishful thinking. What you describe about the sensations of each is exactly my experience!

My newest way to tell the difference is actually now, like you said, a subtle feeling. For example, if you were offered your dream job but for 3/4 the pay: in your gut, there is a feeling if openness and expansion (intuition, you know this is going to be what you want and need); followed shortly thereafter by your chest, a feeling of tightness and anxiety (your ego is attacking your heart space and telling you that you can't get by with less money, and you can't take a step back in life). It's almost like your ego attacks your chest with anxiety, because that is where it thinks your drive and decision making will come from: your heart. But if I get a sick feeling in my stomach, my gut, before i see an ex or something, I know that's my intuition. There usually will be a drive to continue on from my ego which pushes through blind. Where I talk myself into something I know is wrong... And as I write this now I realize how much different everyone must be.

I agree Gabby that the inner guidance and wisdom is all about coming from a loving soul place. Awareness is key. I also agree going deeper and asking what is the inner need? What do I need? How can I get that need met etc... : ) peace & whole foods!

Ok, let’s talk about it. One year ago I was badly wishing to have a boxset hardcover edition of a collection that I wanted to read, but I live in Brazil and the only edition we have here was in paperback, then when the HC Ed. Came to the store it was too expensive that I just saved the link and said: I will have it someday. So last week , something was telling me “go to a literature channel” and to be honest, I hardly ever follow this channel’s new videos and the first time I heard this voice I said “I’m not gonna see this channel, I can count how many videos I like”, but when the third day came and that voice was there telling me the same. So I did, I don’t remember the last time I went to see that channel, when I saw the first video, the boxset HC Ed. That I really wanted was there to be given away, I got so happy and then read the rules to win it and did my part. So I saved a place to put this boxset on my shelf, imagined it here and be grateful for. One week passed and when I went to check who had won that boxset, GUESS? That was another person. So my question is: If I wasn’t supposed to win this give away, why I had that voice for three days? Like I said I only recall that channel because of it and how can you prove that intuition is ALWAYS right? Emotion is about something you really want it to happen but in this case I was on my own before this voice came. Can you explain this to me? Sorry about my English

she rocks with eagles I respect that 😘

Good video

I loved this video Gabby. Thankyou, Normally I think my intuition speaks first, then my ego kicks in and says I "can't" do it... But this video was perfectly timed - because It's definitely not always the case that my best idea is first! =)

Thank you very much. Wonderful as usual.

I think you are a keeper

I notice that when it is my intuition speaks, I won't trust it. I remember walked pass a store and saw a very good looking guy and I immediately heard something said "you're going to see him again." And I was like nah I won't. And I did and we started talking a month after that. Or I sense that something bad is going to happen tomorrow and I was like nah don't be so negative about it and yes, something bad really happened. And when I make decisions I will be very calm if it turns out to be right for me, not be "too" happy about it. When I get too confident or too happy something will usually go wrong after that (I think it's not me being happy, but my ego.)

It's tough. I'm negotiating a higher pay rate for a new job. I think my ego wants to cave in and take a lesser amount. I know I'm worthy but I also want the job. I don't want to sell myself short but is it my ego that doesn't want to accept a lower rate? So I ask myself, if I knew I was 100% worthy what would I do? I would be calm and stay in faith. Let the Universe do the work.

Something similar once happened to me. I was asleep, it was night and I was dreaming that me and my former co-worker were cops (don't ask why, I'm not even a police in real life :D ) Well, anyway, I suddenly woke up from deep sleep - because my phone started ringing. I was like "who the hell is calling at this hour?!" I looked at the phone and there it was, the name of the same ex co-worker who was in my dream. I had his number and for some reason kept it too (had not seen or talked to him in 2 years when the phone rang). I was really spooked by this but I answered still. "Hello?" No reply, just some silent rustling. I thought - and still do - that while his phone was moving about in his pockets it chose and dialed my number accidentally - at the exact time I was dreaming. It's hard to believe, even for myself, although I know it happened. Haven't really forgotten about that incident and it was like 15 years ago.

Today, I had a situation that I felt very disrespected in. I understood where the person was coming from, but truly felt like the way it was expressed was uncalled for and full of criticism taken too far. I felt like I was being continually belittled and degraded, falsely. It felt necessary to stand up for myself, rather than to allow myself to sit by being verbally harassed and violated, by saying "I can understand where you're coming from, but that is something I am completely in the right to do." (regarding drawing personal boundaries) The other person then told me to drop my ego, several times. Was it my ego talking there? I can see why being "defensive" would be considered ego based.... but was this more so my soul finally having some self respect and protecting me out of love (knowing that continuing to subject myself to that treatment would cause more harm than cutting ties)?

yes to answer your question

She says to trust the feeling, but what if the feeling is negative...? She says anxious feelings come from ego...

we got your back I got yours :-)

gabby there is a typo in the title :)

Thankx so much😊

Hi!

I have something that keeps coming up for me...no idea how or when but I know it's my intuition so I know not to ask those questions lol.

stonp on the wicked one Darlene

so if you reason your way into an idea then it's an ego? that sounds odd. I think it has to be a bit more subtle; you must differentiate between actual detached reasoning (that's coming from a calm mindset) and post-hoc rationalization (coming from an emotional mindset).

hi gabby I really hope you can help me wit this, I am giving up dieting and counting calories and started intuitive eating however ive started eating my 'forbidden foods' and ive gained weight I feel like my ego is scaring me into wanting to start a new diet or track calories again, but my intuition knows intuitive eating is best for me. But I really want to lose some of this weight and be comfortable again I dont feel comfortable right now, what should I do?

Everyone......

your momma calling but your having fun

Thank you.

she looks amazing right

I feel like my partner is cheating and I cannot find anything. I feel like he is but I do not know if its my intuition or my insecurity?

I question this a few days ago 🙏🏻 lol

instruction tells me Darlene acts like u
