My intuition doesn't want me to make money or post this.
 
I'm very confused, I am in debt to my parents who I am currently living with for $400 & I have plenty of opportunity to make this, but when I was about to start on some work for someone my intuition stopped me. I've been doing other work similar in the past & had similar problems before starting. Also when I was posting this that similar feeling came from under my stomach saying I shouldn't post this. This has been happening multiple times & has prevented me from almost all of my financial goals. The methods I use for income are completely service/value based, so I'm really confused if I should be listening to this quiet voice anymore, it's gotten me nowhere :\ Should I listen or no?

You say this feeling comes up in your stomach. Is it a fear feeling or a feeling of empowerment?

Guides and intuition work on empowering feelings. Ego and logic spread fear. Okay sometimes Logic spreads empowerment.

The feeling is extremely dis-empowering, there's no fear to it, lots of blood moves straight to the bottom of my stomach, & feels very heavy & random emptiness hits me. There is no voice to it, but if there was one it would say 'no, do something else'. The feeling adds a huge burden to me I do not understand why it is there. I'm going to try to persist through it, complete the work, & see what happens.

So it is a feeling of dread then? Like the feeling you might have if you were about to step in front of an oncoming train? In other words, "healthy fear"

Yeah, it feels like dread. I think this feeling came from lots of stagnation in growth I've been comfortable with. I'm fairly sure this kind of feeling was holding me back. Persisted through feeling & feel better for it. Thanks.

I think it could be fear of being out on your own, being in debt to your parents, living with them and not being able to start a job keeps you tied to your parents. It could mean you fear being in control of your own life, or that your parents fear it, that you will no longer be their child in need of their protection, guidance and quite bluntly their control. That if you grow beyond these things that the love will be gone too.

When I was younger my father expected to know exactly where I was, why I was going there, you know the "you live under my roof rule". Moving out of home meant I was promiscuous (also if I stayed out late). I left home at 23 when I married, moving into a flat with my new husband - my father had been insisting that we live with them, wasn't going to submit my husband to his rules. A week after we married he rang us for some reason and found we were out, he then rang around to my inlaws and a few other people to find out where we were. He actually got upset that I had gone out without telling him where I was going, I had to tell him that I no longer had to ask his permission. Even 20 years later he still does it, he thinks we should run our life the way he's run his, things like never change jobs, afterall he was miserable in his job (and it showed) for over 45 years so why should anyone look for a better job. Even to the number of children I had by a certain age, he had 4 children before the age of 29, he was upset I had chosen to have only one by the same age.

The ties that bind are very hard to cut, you don't want to cut all of them only the ones that make for an unhealthy relationship with your parents.

If you ask me, you are confusing intuition with anxiety.
Intuition tell you how to react without thinking, when there is no chance to think.

Whatever it is, you can change it. Fear, anxiety, even intuition can be corrected when it doesn't serve us right. All behavior can be learned. As we change our minds, we change our lives.

Putting yourself to work for no reason other than paying your debts is always hard.

Maybe you should visualize that from whatever you earn, only 40% will be for your parents and 60% will be to keep for yourself.
