“Trust your gut.” It’s good advice that you’ve probably heard a few times in your life. Maybe your mom said it when you were growing up. More likely you learned the lesson for yourself after you ignored your intuition and regretted it afterwards.
Listening to your intuition is a way of tapping into the wisdom of the universe. By “tapping in” I mean creating a connection to your psychic self and being aware of what your guides and angels are trying to tell you.
What if Your Intuition is Wrong?
Can your intuition lead you astray? The answer is complicated. Your psychic intuition is never wrong, however you are a human being, and all kinds of other influences can intrude on your inner knowing. When that happens, wires can get crossed.
Your psychic thoughts and your regular conscious thoughts can easily be mistaken for one another, because they both use your brain to communicate with you. You might be on the right path, being guided in the best possible way, and then your conscious brain jumps in with a thought that incorporates your fears, wishful thinking, and all kinds of outside influences. Suddenly you’re conflicted and unsure of what your intuition is trying to tell you.
Mixed Messages!
Here’s an example of how your mind can send you mixed messages. Imagine you’re single, and out with friends. A stranger comes up and starts chatting with you. He buys you a drink. You can tell from your friend’s faces that they think he’s attractive, but there’s something about him that seems just a little off.
Your intuition is pinging, sending you warning bells, but your friends are across the bar, giving you the thumbs up. Also, it’s been months since you went on a date, and you worry that you’re being too picky and you’ll be alone forever!
Let’s dissect this situation. First of all, your intuition is telling you that this guy is not for you. But your own fear of being alone and your friends’ signs of approval are “fighting” with your intuition. You also have a conflicting thought that you’re being too guarded and that maybe YOU are the problem.
You start to doubt your intuition, and decide to take a chance on the handsome stranger your gut is warning you against. Weeks later, you realize your intuition was right!
How can you keep this from happening? You can start by working on identifying your inner voice.
How do you know if it’s truly your intuition that is guiding you?
Intuition can be developed and trained over time. You can learn to identify and trust your inner voice more and more as you gain more experience listening to it. Get in the habit of reflecting and meditating on the messages that the intuition is giving you, and keeping track of how often it’s right.
Keep an eye out for examples of outside influences, free will, and wishful thinking conflicting with what you KNOW in your gut.
Consider these scenarios:
You are sure that someone is going to be your future husband or wife because you feel this enormous infatuation for them, so you ignore the red flags your intuition is sending you. You trust your heart and not your intuition.
Maybe you DO meet your soulmate. You met someone and knew intuitively you were going to be with them forever. But for some crazy reason you treated them badly, or even cheated on them, and you broke up. You changed the future based on your actions.
Sometimes your timing is off. You may have felt you were going to pass a test and you actually failed it. That doesn’t mean that your intuition was wrong, You could take the test a second time and pass it. Your intuition didn’t give you specifics. It was showing you the end result.
Your intuition is a valuable tool.
Learning to recognize your intuitive voice is not always easy, but it’s worth it. The more tuned in you are to your intuition and your guides, the less likely you are to be influenced by other people, social media, or anyone who may not have your best interests at heart.
When you’re coming from this place of wisdom and knowing, it can bring a sense of peace, fulfillment and harmony in your life because you’re making choices that align with your own values. So be mindful of your inner wisdom. With practice, you can use it as a compass to guide you toward your true destiny.

All your comments on intuitions makes so much sense, i have never thought about all these different ways things can influence our own intuition. Thank you so much Matt for bring all this to light and making me more aware .
Thank you Matt I will try and listen to that intuition I appreciate your blog thank you
Would Love to read your blog! You are amazing!
Yes, I have had those feelings, I feel guilty everyday not acting on them, I just brushed it off thinking things would be ok, but that’s not how it turned out, on a couple occasions.
Thank u Matt
U r amazing !
I love how you talk with people and their loved ones
If you ever come to the East Coast i would love to see you
My intuition has guided me many times,but as soon as I let outside influences interfere I doubt myself! Thank you for helping me see and understand that.
I use my intuition for friends but they don’t always listen and I end up right! It’s so frustrating, but with myself I too don’t sometimes make right choices so this helped a lot in what you said❤️
My intuition was completely different than this scenario…a couple weeks before my Son passed away I had a vision but quickly dismissed it because of fear…after preparing dinner for our family of 4 I called out for my boys to come out of their rooms for supper…my youngest was out within a few minutes while my eldest wasn’t responding as quickly which gave me my vision something was seriously wrong…a couple weeks later I was preparing our dinner meal and proceeded to once again call for my boys to come eat their dinner and unfortunately my worse fear came to life..I found our Son unresponsive in his room…I wish I would of listened to my intuition when I first had my vision because I often wonder if I had maybe my Son would still be with us…I struggle with the would of..could of..should of scenario but I won’t ever dismiss another vision because of fear…
Wow – that’s a very powerful story and a very heavy burden to carry… I’m so sorry for your loss… Most people would have pushed that vision aside and not wanted to dwell on it – I know I would. Everything is easy in hindsight.. but at the time, even visions and intuitive warnings are not all that easy to navigate in the moment.. Forgive yourself for that – we are only human… your son wouldn’t want you to blame yourself I’m sure, he would want you to focus on the good times you had together… Xx
Thank you so much Matt for continuing to heal thousands and share your abilities and all your information with us trying to make us all much happy people. I’ve never got a reading (yet) however I really enjoy watching you with others. God bless you and your beautiful Family
Thank you Matt for all that you do to help us with our grief. I love seeing your beautiful family especially that precious baby boy Royce on the video’s you post. God Bless You!
I usually follow my intuitions, premonitions, dreams and feelings, but when I doubt them, usually I do regret later not following them! I have bought a ticket to your online readings for February 22nd @ 7pm… I’m so excited, I can hardly wait!
Thank you Matt for your wisdom regarding intuition as I needed to read again. I always try to go by what my inner voice tells me and it is usually right in the end.
The timing & content of this message is perfection! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Thank You Matt, ☕ ⬛
Many times I have had to go with my Gut/Intuition. I have always been a people watcher, actions, words and movements say a lot.
But the intuitive feeling is a very important thing.
Thankyou Matt for all you do and helping people ❤️
Hey Matt , ism a over thinkers I think you like that? LoL. Why is it when you know you shouldn’t do it and you do it anyways ? I been doing that alot more lately not so much in a bad way or anything iam just not listening to inner voice LoL.
This blog comes in the right time, in my own conflicts at times, that i can’t ficure out in many month’s and thank you
Thanks so much for writing to me it’s true I don’t go with my gut but I will in the future hope u and ur beautiful family are keeping well
Thank you for this reminder. I’ve always been intuitive but made 2 terrible decisions I regret deeply It most definitely was outside influences that helped in my decisions. I wish soo badly I can get a re-do and listen clearly to MY intuition. The outcome would probably still be the same but I’d feel much better about my decisions..
I’m only just starting to find out which is my intuition or wishful thinking or even fear, I’m 70 this year always listened to my intuition and got it wrong I’ve just started to get it right, just goes to show age doesn’t matter its only a number, thankyou for all you do matt bless you and your family, from U.K.
I wish i could talk to you personally or wish you’d come back to Washington state again
Matt, I am blessed to be 72. I have been having some interesting events and feel they are signs. Ask every night for my guides and spirits to guide me along with my Lord. Thanks for helping so many people. I have read all three of your awesome books. Been to one on line reading. Keep safe.
Intuition SO helped me within my professional career as a pro horsewoman. I owned my own barn and over the course of time was able to realize that I knew a few days ahead of time that a particular horse was going to have a medical issue, even when there seemed to be NOTHING wrong at the moment I felt compelled to stop in front of a particular stall and just observe for a minute. My vet came to believe it when I called her to see if she was going to be in the area within a 3 day time frame because “my gut” said something was brewing. This was not something I discussed with anyone but she and my husband. My fear was that the owners would think I got bucked off one too many times, LOL….I was so thankful to the “horse gods” for giving me that tap on the shoulder. It helped save a few horses as my vet would get there post haste to eliminate something going to far south.
Thank you Matt! This was very interesting!
Thanks Matt my beautiful Armenian wife has never left my heart and I deeply thank you for suggesting the same. All the very best Matt. Norm Shaw
Thank You Matt
I needed to hear this I always thought my mind was playing tricks on me
Now I will listen more carefully xx
God bless you and your little Family
I love reading all your blogs.
Thank you always for your gifted insight. I applaud you for using your gifts in so many positive ways, in order to help others, become more aware of their own gifts. My intuition has helped me in many aspects of my life including myself, my family, and being a nurse. Also, congratulations to you and your lovely wife on the birth of your sweet boy! You have a precious family! Hugs from Texas!
That was something I needed to hear, what else do you have up your sleeve sir? I want to know as much as you are willing to enlighten.
I wish I had read this years back! My husband was going on a job! I had this nagging feeling don’t let him go. I told him I was going to cancel the job. He said no. He should go. At that job he fell off the roof and broke his neck and back! I felt so guilty I didn’t push harder’
Matt you are such an angel and you help to many people to open up and not to fear within themselves so much thank you
Hi Matt, I had an intuition that made me feel sick when I thought about doing something that might affect my life. I had prayed about the issue of should I proceed with the medical intervention. The next day when I thought about the issue, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and every time I thought about it. Then I knew the intuition was telling me not to go through it and I trusted it. I didn’t go through it and everything worked out. If I had gone through it, it might of consumed my life with issues or not being here anymore on earth. That’s what I got from that gut feeling. From that point, I always listen to my gut feeling (intuition) and go by it within reason.
Thank you Matt I love your lessons
keep smiling and sending love to you all
appreciating all the hard work you you put in for us all

Thank you Matt for helping so many people. I would like to go online but I only have a phone,not a laptop.A long time ago I was driving and my Sonat the time was younger.There was a El Camino in front of us on the highway. There was a dresser in the back.All of a sudden my thoughts was that it was going to fly out. Sure enough it did.I was prepared and that saved us.
After being with my second husband a short time I said to myself, this is someone who could break my heart. He also told me he really wasn’t a nice person. Everyone including me thought he was. Years later he did break my heart and several others with one action. I always listen to my inner voice now. Thank you Matt.
Thank you for your wise words. I so enjoy watching/listening to you! You are awesome!
