Try and understand how you learn. A lot of intuition in technical fields, not just in mathematics, is understanding the material in a way that you understand it.

For me it was trying to frame as much as possible in a geometric lens. Draw pictures of anything and everything as much as possible. Graphs, number lines, 3d animations, whatever it takes.

Also, understand the "bold print" from the "fine print". I mean to say, every theorem will make a general statement, and then have a bunch of conditions where it holds. So worry first about the bold print, then try to understand the fine print.

Much of mathematics is about making the strongest and most general statements in bold print with as little fine print as possible. Basically the less fine print you have, the more important probably your result is.
