Have you ever wanted to change something in your life, but aren’t sure which path to choose or decision to make? Want better options or to make sense of the ones you currently have? What about learning how to go with the flow? The answer to each of these questions is the same: Use your intuition. We all have it. In fact, intuition is one of the main, but often overlooked, senses. Like any muscle, it just needs to be used. When you do, it is one of the strongest, fastest, and clearest ways of knowing the next best step for your life. So let’s get started on how to do exactly that.

Today, one of the greatest calls to change heard around the globe is for sustainability. The transformations needed to move forward in this quest are on par with some of the greatest movements in history. The green movement, from an American perspective, has the potential to be as monumental as the founding of this country, the Industrial Revolution, or the Civil Rights movement. Each occasion changed the manner in which individuals interacted with one another and had effects that reverberated around the world. As people everywhere consciously choose to support the wave of green movements far and wide, the resulting crescendo of new ways to relate to each other, the land, and our monetary systems has the potential to create a healthy, sustainable planet.

After a year or so in therapy, my therapist recommended I start taking an antidepressant. It was Elavil, an older one that “has proven itself,” she said. “It works especially well for people like you, that have underlying low-level anxiety.” I started crying uncontrollably. I felt like…I had failed. I was 25, and was trying and trying and trying to get better – through food, through supplements, through talk therapy, through meditation. You name it. But I obviously hadn’t gotten anywhere. At least according to my therapist. Dealing with depression makes a person desperate for relief. Or even dealing with constant anxiety, which is what I had. I just thought this is the way it would always be. This was the way it always had been.
