Enhancing Intuition Through Practical Strategies

Do you trust your gut? Have you ever had a gut feeling about something but couldn't really explain why you felt it?

Intuition is often misunderstood and sometimes, we're reluctant to listen to it because it doesn't seem to make sense. But intuition is a science-backed process that can help you make better decisions once you understand how to listen to it.

In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Huang, a professor at Northeastern University, leading researcher on intuition, and author of the book You Already Know. We explore how to better understand your gut feelings so you can make better decisions.

Some of the things we talk about today are:

• How to differentiate between your intuition and your feelings.
• The “intuiting process” and how to train your intuition like a muscle.
• The past experiences that shape your gut instincts.
• The practical strategies that will help you recognize your inner voice (including the toothbrush exercise).
• How to use intuition for big decisions, like career moves.
• How to use intuition for smaller decisions, like first impressions of the people you meet.
• Why intuition is a superpower that can make you mentally stronger.
