š Hey Warrior,
We often think of intuition in extreme termsā¦
ā¦like the sudden alarm that warns us of immediate danger.

Intuition isnāt just for fight or flight.
Think about itā¦
ā¦Have you ever just "known" which route to take in traffic, even without checking the map?
ā¦Met someone and instantly felt a sense of unease, even though they seemed perfectly friendly?
ā¦Had a hunch about a business decision that turned out to be right, even though the data was inconclusive?
That's intuition in action.
It's your brain's rapid processing, honed by experience, helping you navigate the world.
Everyday Intuition
Here's how to tap into it:
Social Radar:
Intuition helps us read social cues.
Notice subtle shifts in tone, body language, or energy.
If someone's words don't match their vibe, pay attention.
Navigational Instincts:
Your brain creates "cognitive maps" of your environment.
Intuition can guide you even when you're not consciously recalling the route.
If a path "feels wrong," even if it seems shorter, reconsider.
Decision-Making:
Intuition provides quick assessments, especially under pressure.
It's not a replacement for logic, but a valuable input.
If a decision feels wrong in your gut, investigate further.
Actionable Exercises
The "Intuitive Choice" Drill:
In a low-stakes situation (e.g., choosing a restaurant), make a split-second decision based on your gut.
Reflect afterward: Why did you make that choice? What did you feel?
The "Vibe Check" Drill:
When meeting someone new, focus on your initial impression.
Note any physical sensations or emotions that arise.
This helps you connect with your affective intuition.
Hereās an entertaining TED talk from someone who followed his gut in life and where it led him.
Final Thoughts
By integrating intuition into your daily lifeā¦
ā¦tempered with logic and experienceā¦
ā¦you develop a more nuanced awareness, enhancing your safety and decision-making in any situation.
Stay sharp, trust yourself,
Paul Simoes
