Modern life can be bustling, so it’s natural for your energy at times to feel scattered throughout the day when you’re commuting to work, quickly replying to many emails, or picking up kids from school. When you’re scattered, your energy is pulled in many directions at once and open in an unhelpful way.

Feeling scattered is the opposite of feeling centered. When you’re centered, or feeling calm, clear, and confident, you are grounded in your energy yet also open in a nourishing way. Your intuition requires this openness to function properly, and it needs a stable foundation via a centered nervous system to do so.

Pick something each morning, like a healing mantra or a gentle intention, that you can return to throughout the day to focus on when you’re scattered. Focus there until you feel centered. Once you feel consistently centered again, your energy and intuition will organically open to receive guidance.
