We’ve heard the expression time and again. When we ask ourselves how to decide on a matter, we revert back, or at least should, to the coined phrase, “use your gut.” Trying to make a difficult decision? Go back to the first moment of decision-making. What did your gut tell you? We’ve seen it time and again with business decisions, marriage decisions as well as daily decisions. Our innate intuition, our “gut,” can guide us daily if we learn how to use it on our life’s journey.  It is just as important to focus on our inner beauty, creating the life we want, as it is our outer beauty.  New York Times best-selling author, Laura Day, shows us how to use the tools we already have to achieve the life we want. 

In her new book, How to Rule the World from Your Couch, Laura Day teaches us how to create success in any area by using your brain in unique and compelling ways so that your innate intuition can propel you ahead to successful solutions. Laura's work has helped demystify intuition and demonstrated its practical, verifiable uses in the fields of business, science, medicine, and personal growth. Her list of clients and students includes doctors, financial investors, scientists, engineers, and celebrities. Day has shown that 98 percent of success is planning, and that you, therefore, have the power to transform your life.

How to Rule the World from Your Couch explains that we are already skilled. Whether we are aware of it or not, we have the ability to do whatever we want with our lives, bring in who and what we need, and be abundant in whatever way we choose. However, it takes work, planning and discipline. Luck doesn’t exist, but the good news is that we can create the life we want. We put the coincidences in place and everyone can learn how to do that. No matter where you are right now in your life, how unimportant you feel, who you are now can change in a moment.

“Both negative and positive thinking are dangerous; what’s important is realistic thinking experiencing the moment, knowing intuitively that you are a power to change it,” says Day. “Very few choices are fatal or else all of us would be dead. We are able to change everyday what our path is and who we are on it.”

Day says that How to Rule the World from Your Couch can be used on the job right away. We can engage each day by using our intuition to direct us.

“The info comes to you as opposed to you looking for it,” says Day. “If you have a question, target or goal, follow your intuition. It shows you that you easily feel the thoughts that others feel. You can use that and put it towards a goal.”

How to Rule the World from Your Couch also explores other tools that build on our intuition. So many of us have fears and self-doubts. Day calls this disempowerment, the nemesis of intuition because it allows the subconscious to protect you from the truths you need to be listening for. To counteract this patterned response, Day provides exercises using our intuition in order to not scare ourselves into paralysis.

“Fear is a patterned response; intuition is what prepares you,” says Day. “Just by doing some of these simple exercise, already you see you have some pretty weird powers. Ten minutes from the time you use them on an issue you get results and you feel empowered. When we realize we have the ability to get what we want, we are much more patient and much more choosier.”

Day explains that you don’t have to believe in intuition for it to work. It all works whether you believe in it or not; you just need to know how to use it. She encourages us to try the exercises in each chapter. These exercises teach us how to use the tools we already have to turn our life around now. She compares the exercises to a good scientist.

“A good scientist is a skeptic because he or she will run the experiment anyway,” she says. “You try this and you may find a tool that works in a rich and full way that you would be sorry not to use it.”

In How to Rule the World from Your Couch, our intuitive question could be just as simple as “What do I want?”

“We convince ourselves that we can’t have what we want,” says Day. “It takes discipline to move your attention out of that place and allow intuition to move yourself to opportunities. Intuition helps you prepare now for a positive future whether that future is tomorrow or a year and a half from now.”

We have the tools we need right now, whether it is to make better investment choices or to prepare our children or our family for the future, build successful, globally conscious businesses or simply to have more joy in our lives. We just need to know how to use them. How to Rule the World from Your Couch teaches us the “how,” even at a distance, so we can learn to direct that effect for positive outcomes in our lives.
