Stop Looking Outside Yourself: How to Find Clarity Within

I hear it all the time:
People hunting for clarity in books, podcasts, group chats, and even by polling their friends on what they should do.

Refreshing their feeds…
Hoping the next scroll will deliver a sign.

Here are 3 ways people search for answers externally:

  1. Polling friends for opinions until one “feels right”

  2. Scrolling social media for inspirational posts or confirmation signs

  3. Checking advice threads or Google, hoping someone else already solved their exact problem

It’s human—we all crave certainty.

But here’s the truth:

Clarity doesn’t live in experts, systems, or algorithms. It lives in you.

Clarity Doesn’t Live in Experts or Algorithms

When we stop looking within, we do more than just delay our answers, we weaken our ability to trust ourselves. Every time we hand our power over to an outside opinion, we muffle the quiet knowing that’s been speaking all along.

Your intuition is the language of your soul, your inner wisdom.
When we ignore it, it whispers.
When we honor it, it speaks clearly.
And your soul, your inner wisdom, is always guiding you to what is highest and best for you.

How to Access Your Inner Wisdom

Learning to hear your inner yes and no doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here’s how to start:

  1. Pause Before You Seek Advice

When you feel stuck and start looking for an answer, whether it’s a text to a friend, a scroll on social, or a Google search, stop first.
Take one full minute to sit with the question in your body.
Notice how your chest, gut, or breath responds.
Your body often speaks the answer first.

2. Create Tiny Moments of Quiet

I call this the Intentional Pause.
Even three minutes of stillness, no input, no screen, gives your inner wisdom room to rise.
Let your mind wander without judgment.
This is where clarity begins to unfurl.

3. Listen Consistently

The more we check in with our bodies and practice the Intentional Pause, the more naturally our intuition speaks up.
When you combine noticing how your body feels with creating these small moments of quiet, your inner wisdom becomes easier to hear.
Intuition is the language of your soul, your inner compass, and it always leads you to what is highest and best for you.

The Life-Changing Shift of Trusting Yourself

When you stop outsourcing your decisions, life feels different.
You start making choices that feel true, instead of just acceptable.
You move with more ease and less second-guessing.
And you start to trust yourself again, deeply.
