Out of the blue is where all the best ideas come from. Not from racking your brains and puzzling things out. Have you noticed that? For me it's during a walk, in the shower or when I first wake up in the morning. When do you get your best ideas? I heard a survey of entrepreneurs once. They included the golf course and times when they were on holiday in their list of times when they had their best ideas. There is something true about all these situations. They are not times when we are thinking about our problems. 

It sounds counterintuitive when we have been brought up to solve problems and 'think about it'. But the thing about 'thinking about it' is that it can only ever be a process of going through old habitual thinking. This is not very helpful when you are looking for something to solve a problem which has probably been created by that old habitual thinking. The thing about all those situations is that they are spacious; they provide space in our heads and that is when intuition can burst through with answers and solutions we had never considered. If you would like to create more space inside your head so you can connect more deeply to intuition it would be lovely to talk.
