Welcome to Barefoot Coaching’s A-Z series. We aim to simplify what might otherwise be complex psychological theories and models and talk about them in a way that anybody can understand. We believe that everybody benefits from learning about and practising coaching skills - and it’s catching! Coaching spreads into other areas of our life and work and the positive effects are felt far beyond just ourselves. Each issue we will be focusing on a different element of coaching. Last month we explored Happiness, this month we will focus on Intuition.
‘I’ IS FOR INTUITION
“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” Rumi
If you have ever followed a “hunch”, gone with your gut, listened to your inner voice, or felt “I just know”, then you have accessed your intuition. We don’t have to reject logic or intellect to embrace intuition -good decisions are often the result of instinct and intellect working together. Here are 3 ways to improve your intuition:
● Wild writing. Every day for a week, sit quietly and write for 5 minutes without thinking. Just let the words appear on the page. Then notice what you learn from your untamed thoughts.
● Walking without purpose. Go for a walk (without your phone or others distractions). Take notice if you find your attention being drawn to any particular sights or sounds. Identify what feelings, thoughts or meaning they have for you.
● When faced with a decision, ask yourself “What does my head, heart and gut say?”

Tom and Jane planned a holiday at the lake, and they decided to take their children, Tim and Sarah, with them. However, Tim and Sarah wanted: to visit Disney World for their holiday or hire a yacht (游艇) in Hawaii. Camping by the lake wasn’t even on their list of holiday adventures.
“We can visit some of the islands too,” Jane said. “Your dad and I always wanted to explore the mysterious cabin on Moose Island.”
Mysterious cabin? The children were now far more interested in this lake holiday idea.
“We might see Big foot,” Tim said.
“Or some unusual species!” Sarah turned to her parents. “We’re in. When do we leave?”
The children’s excitement quickly disappeared when they arrived at the lake. While their parents were carrying their suitcases inside, Timand Sarah stood on the path and stared at the cabin they’d be staying in for the next week, complaining about the smell around, the dust, and the various small insects.
“We’re in nature now, kids. Enjoy the experience! Your dad is building a fire so we can have barbecued fish and potatoes baked in the coals. Isn’t that great?”
Sarah choked. “I am not eating food cooked in coals! I want takeaway instead.”
“Me too.” Tim was about to cry. “Holidays are supposed to be fun, Mom.”
“Come on, guys. There’s a lot of joy to be found in living a simple life and spending time together as a family.”
“People in the suburbs live a simple life, which is more like being homeless!” Sarah shouted
“Yeah,” Tim added. “How can there not be a single restaurant that delivers here? How do these people survive?”
“They eat coal potatoes!” Sarah laughed. “And fish they kill with their bare hands!”
Sarah ran away, and Tim followed. Jane buried her head in her hands. She realized she had to do something to correct their children’s attitude towards simple life. After dinner, she told all about this to Tom, who agreed with Jane. Then they came up with an idea.
