I intentionally engage in the activities or nonactivities that invigorate my gut instinct to reveal its truths and “aha’ s.”

Never – 1 Seldom – 2 Occasionally – 3  Frequently – 4  Always – 5

I wait patiently to discover my gut’s instincts/insights for my life choices and decisions before proceeding with significant decisions or creative pathways.

I usually trust my gut’s answers in the present and do not second-guess it or doubt its legitimacy.

I accept my gut instincts (in whatever form they reveal themselves) intelligence without judging or ignoring it.

I expect to grow in my creative life through my gut instincts and intentionally seek their help to inspire, improvise and direct my creative products.

I spend as much time listening to my gut instincts as I do acting on or implementing them.

I act firmly and “just right” on my gut instincts to lead me in my life choices and creative pursuits (not moving too quickly or too slowly implementing their solutions).

I easily distinguish my preferred solutions coming from my gut center versus my other intelligence centers.

I remain confident of my gut instincts by doing the necessary work to prove (or disprove) its truth(s).

I can demonstrate how my gut instincts have impacted my life and creativity powerfully and in novel ways.

I practice a regular quiet time where I remove all distractions to listen to my thinking.

When making choices or decisions, I usually seek my head guidance (or mental thinking) first.

My relationship with my thinking capacity is more about respect and delight than worry or fear.

I experience a rich creative life due to my active imagination, envisioning and other valued thinking processes.

I am aware of my thinking processes and how I use them to plan and be prepared for most areas of my life.

I believe my thinking usually provides me with the best options and I value/have confidence in my thinking intelligence above all.

My thinking processes motivate me to be my creative best, revealing insights into my creative products.

Courage, curiosity, discernment, keen observation and objectivity usually characterize my life rather than fear, worry and anxiety producing paralysis.

I trust my thinking to help and guide me through any creative problem I face.

I remain confident in my thinking ingenuity during difficult problem solving and/or creativity-challenged times

I regularly tap into my authentic emotions/feelings by making quiet time to listen to them.

I allow my feelings, which include a wide range of emotions, to “be” or exist without judgment.

I base my lifestyle and creative choices mostly on my heart’s desires and not on what I feel others want me to be or do.

I can distinguish between my past and present feelings, not allowing past feelings to close my heart or block the flow of my creativity.

I actively use my feelings, passions and sensitive or explosive emotions by funneling or transforming them in a creative and/or life-enhancing way.

I am authentically connected to and sensitive to my own distinct feelings most, if not all of the time.

I can wait on or “hold” my feelings intentionally, not overreacting or being overly sensitive (emotions may come in waves), until I discover what my heart intelligence wants to reveal to me.

I use my heart as the principal guide for the choices I make and it highly impacts the way I think and act.

I remain confident of my heart’s desires, which lead me to creative inspiration/pursuits in my daily living.

When others expose their emotions/feelings, I can easily respond empathically, withholding judgment.
