the blatantly obvious

Two coaches standing on the other side of the field. Not really speaking to each other at any game. When one speaks the other looks away or walks away. Kids confused about what to do.
Coaches ain't seeing eye-to-eye or collaborating.

At the end of the season, some parents are surprised by this. "Did you know there were problems between the coaches?" I was asked repeatedly. "Sure. They were never communicating with each other or responding to each other. I noticed."

"Well...." I heard, "You SEE things. Of course you noticed." Wink, wink.

But actually, it was totally non-psychic. Blatantly obvious to me, but not psychic. I have no inside scoop on why, the motivations, what's happening at a soul level, etc. Just the obvious lack of communication.

My teachers taught me to use all my senses and skills. I am a sensory person. Use it all. Use my reasoning. Use my emotions. Use my five senses. Use my sixth sense. Notice body language.(and when signals seem different, the sixth sense is the most accurate)

One of the best first steps in becoming more intuitive, is simply to notice everything more. Notice the colors of flowers, the sway of trees and how each is unique, the songs of birds, your various emotions, the different types of buildings on your drive to work, the many shades of of red in the room right now, the density of the wind on your skin, everything.

It's a richer, more vibrant life, and you become more attuned to noticing your sixth sense.

Notice the obvious. Notice the unseen. Notice what you notice.

Good motto! :) Funny, I just posted on my blog about some things I've noticed recently and was trying to figure out if they were a sign of some sort. Guess I should just be figuring out why I noticed what I did! good food for thought.
