What’s Your Blind Spot? (And How to Avoid It)
This is a tricky one—because if you don’t know what your blind spot is, how do you avoid it? We all have them. The goal isn’t to eliminate every single one (that’s unrealistic); it’s to navigate life so we sidestep as many as possible.
This spark came from Transforming Fate into Destiny by Robert Ohotto. We are both fated and free as we move through life, and learning to spot blind spots is part of that freedom.
Three Simple Ways to Dodge Blind Spots
1) Listen to your intuition
That quiet inner nudge is fast and subtle. It doesn’t argue, explain, or beg—so if you miss it, you’ll often say later, “I knew it.” Treat intuition like a muscle: notice it, pause, and let your thinking mind catch up. The more you practice, the clearer it gets.
2) Slow down and ground
Our lives are noisy and full of multitasking. Put the phone away. Breathe. Walk without a podcast sometimes. Sit with your feet in the grass. Garden barefoot. Say hi to the trees. The more connected you are to your body and the earth, the easier it is to hear that small inner voice.
3) Meditate and ask for three signs
Meditation is the gym for your awareness. Techniques like those taught in the Silva Method help you get answers from the inside out. When making a decision, ask for guidance—then wait for three clear confirmations. (Helene Hadsell did this often.) If all three point one way, trust it—even if your calendar or comfort zone protests.
Quick story: Helene once received guidance to go to Peru by a specific date. It clashed with other plans, so she asked for three signs. She got them—boom, boom, boom—and went. That “rule of three” kept her aligned and out of trouble.
Think of life like a road trip. Your intuition is the GPS. Meditation is the quiet car where you can hear the directions. Signs and synchronicities are the mile markers that reassure you you’re still headed the right way. When you’re in the flow, you’re far less likely to get blindsided.
