Every day we face plenty of decisions (some sources estimate that an average adult makes more than 35 thousand decisions each day). Some of them are small, some of them are big, and some of them are life-changing. In school (and often later in life), we’re instructed to listen to the voice of reason (the teacher / authority / the system) and to do as we’re told, and consequently to ignore our heart, our gut feeling that is sometimes called INTUITION. We learn to make decisions based on the rational, economical mind. This approach is arising from safety, carefulness and logic. It is this approach which is creating the exclusion in society: the fear from immigrants, the annoyance from disabled people, putting kids with learning disabilities to special classes so they are not slowing down “the normal” kids. By recalling our gentle side, we learn to make decisions which doesn’t seem to be economically logical (e.g. spending free time in support to charity, community meeting, playing with kids, etc.), but which brings happiness to our life and to the life of the others. INTUITIVE thinking (especially working in tandem with analytical thinking) is positively associated not only with better, faster and more accurate decision-making processes but also with happiness and a sense of autonomy and freedom. This is why it’s important–and today probably more than ever–to connect to our intuition and to exercise it.
