Intuition or Anxiety? How to Tell the Difference
Episode 94, Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
Is it your intuition speaking, or is anxiety, fear and an activated nervous system running the show?
In this episode, I take you through the difference between intuition and anxiety in a practical, interactive way so you can start recognising what is actually happening in your mind and body.
We talk about why intuition usually feels calm, clear and simple, while anxiety creates urgency, overthinking, worst-case scenarios and the desperate need for certainty. I also explore how survival mode, trauma and hypervigilance can make it harder to trust your own inner guidance.
Throughout the episode, I give you real-life scenarios to help you test the difference for yourself, including relationships, delayed messages, tarot cards, spirit signs and those moments where you suddenly know you need to stop, wait, go somewhere or contact someone.
I also share some of my own intuitive experiences, including the signs that guided me back to Sydney, the purple elephant with pink polka dots, and the warning that may have prevented me from being involved in an accident.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How intuition feels different from anxiety in your body
- Why survival mode can make you scan for danger and confuse fear with guidance
- The difference between a calm intuitive nudge and anxious overthinking
- Why intuition often arrives before your analytical mind starts building the story
- How to recognise your body's personal yes and no
- Why feeling uncomfortable does not always mean something is wrong
- The difference between unsafe and unfamiliar
- How rejection, abandonment and old wounds can distort current situations
- Why repeatedly asking psychics, tarot cards, pendulums or other people for answers can disconnect you from your own knowing
- How spirit signs tend to arrive naturally rather than needing to be hunted for
- Why developing intuition takes practice, evidence and self-trust
- Five simple questions to help you work out whether you are experiencing intuition, anxiety, fear or conditioning
Your intuition does not need to bully you, frighten you or send you searching everywhere for more answers.
Sometimes it is simply the quiet knowing underneath all the noise.
The more you practise listening to that knowing, the easier it becomes to recognise when fear is running the show and when your soul is gently saying, this way.
