Your daily bite of wisdom and wellness
I am Tan your guide on this journey.
And today, we're gonna be exploring the fascinating
topic of intuition and its role in decision
making.
Alright. So come on and get close and
comfortable in our cozy part of the Internet.
I often refer to as our podcast home.
Where the pot of tea is on and
hot and the topic of discussions are warm
and insightful.
As you begin to kindly pause to spend
a few moments with me today I'm asking
that you go ahead and have that soothing
cup of herbal tea in hand to pair
with our question of today.
What is 1 decision you can make today
by balancing your intuition with rational thinking.
Take a moment to reflect on this question.
Just consider how integrating both approaches
can transform your decision making process.
We're gonna be... This topic together to see
how we can harness the power of intuition.
While you're chewing on that, I wanna set
the tone for today's exploration of intuition, with
this simple yet powerful 3 word, quote, let
these 3 words be a gentle reminder to
honor your intuitive
insights.
With that, my friends let's go into our
topic for today, the role of intuition in
decision making. While rational thinking is crucial,
intuition also plays a powerful part in guiding
our choices.
So now that you found a comfortable spot.
Let's go ahead and dive into how we
can hone our intuitive abilities and balance them
with logical analysis for better decision making.
Alright. When we talk about intuition where I'm
speaking of that,
intuition is often described as a gut feeling
or knowing that guides us in making decisions
without cautious reasoning.
Is a form of quick
instinct thinking that draws on our experiences,
emotions, as well as our subconscious knowledge.
Now when it comes to our overall health,
these decision making
do impact our overall health from what we
eat, how we eat, how we think in
our approach to our overall health, the decisions
we make when we're in the grocery store,
for example, do we go and get a
bunch of chips
and carbohydrates
to fill us out those fill good foods
that feed and rush our dopamine
and flood our minds and our bodies with
those feel good vibes
or hormones, or do we go and make
conscientious
in decisions about our health so that we
can live well holistically even with our oral
hygiene,
when we just in distinctive and intuitively, just
brush every day. We have those routines that
we just fall right until we know what
is the best thing to do.
Lately, we have been treating so many patients
that have been biting into crab legs with
their teeth. Just opening them with their teeth
and I'm just thinking what would makes someone
do that? What would make someone
think to just open a bottle with their
mouth, the bottle cap, and they're saying I
wasn't thinking, I just did it. So what
if we can have better
intuition, stronger, or witty
intuition full of wisdom.
I thought about this topic here, the role
of intuition and our decision making because some
of those decisions have cost some of my
patients quite a deal of money. So a
crown or breaking a bridge. Those are, like,
the series of 3 crowns or more. Can
you imagine biting into a crab leg that
probably costs a few dollars And now you're
having to come out of pocket 2A3 thousand
dollars to replace a bridge.
So yes,
intuition definitely plays a role in our overall
health and our oral health.
Alright. Now I have a insightful resource for
you on this topic. The book I'm going
to present to you is titled blink. The
power of thinking without thinking.
This is by Malcolm Glad well. I'm definitely
gonna leave a summary over on tanzania at
davis dot com. So if you get a
moment check out that summary to this book
if you would like to know more about
this book and you have not read it,
or you might be short on time because
everyone is busy. I understand that So I'm
gonna leave a summary of this book Again,
the title is blank. The power of thinking
without thinking by Malcolm Glad will. I chose
this book because it explores the science behind
snap judgments,
and intuitive thinking,
revealing how our brains can make decisions in
an instant.
Just by understanding the nature of intuition, we
can begin to appreciate its value in our
decision making process.
Now, I do have some benefits. I want
to share with you of intuitive
decision making. Let's go ahead and explore these.
I have 5 for you. Number 1, speed.
Intuition allows for quick decision making. Which can
be crucial in fast paced or high pressure
situations, and then creativity.
Intuitive thinking can lead, innovative solutions and creative
problem solving by tapping into our subconscious mind.
Number 3, confidence,
trusting your intuition can build self confidence and
reduce
indecision. And then here's another 1. Holistic view.
Intuition considers the bigger picture and integrates emotions,
experiences,
as well as those subconscious insights.
And number 5
stress
reduction, last but not least,
relying on intuition can reduce the mental strain
of over analyzing
decisions. So by embracing our intuitive abilities, we
can make more balanced and informed choices.
Now I wanna take a look at honing
intuitive abilities. Here are some practical tips to
help you hone your intuitive abilities.
I do have 6 of these practical tips
for you. Let's take a look at number
1, mindfulness
and meditation. When you practice mindfulness and meditation,
You get to quiet your mind and connect
with your inner voice.
Also number 2, another ability
to hone in is paying attention to our
gut feelings.
Notice and respect your gut feelings.
They can provide valuable insights even if they're
not immediately logical.
I like this 1 because of the 1
of my favorite books the game of life
and how to play it.
I love when the author just speaks of
never violate your haunt. Always,
make sure you take that into consideration because
a lot of times that's just gonna lead
you on the right path of where you
need to be and the right decision you
should make.
Alright. Reflect on past experiences is another,
reflect on times when you trusted your intuition.
What was the outcome?
Learning from past experiences can strengthen your intuition.
And 4, when I really like journal,
Keep a journal to track your intuitive insights
and decisions. Over time, you may notice patterns
and build trust in your intuition.
Another 1 is your body awareness, pay attention
to physical
sensations and emotions that arise when you're making
decisions.
Your body can often signal intuitive insights.
And my last 1 for you is seek
quiet time
This is another way to hone in on
intuit abilities,
spend time in nature or in a quiet
space to clear your mind and tune into
your intuition.
By practicing these techniques, you can enhance your
intuitive abilities
and make more balanced
decisions.
Now balancing
intuition with rational thinking,
while intuition is powerful, it is important to
balance it with rational thinking.
We don't just wanna just say, well, it
just came to me This is something I
popped in my head to do. I just
wanna do it. That can be too impulsive
and too irrational. So we wanna link this
intuitive thinking with rational thinking, and this is
how you can integrate both in your decision
making process,
1 gather
information, start with gathering relevant
information and analyzing the facts,
and number 2, consult your intuition.
So now as you've gathered facts. That's with
that rational thinking process.
Now you can rely on the intuition, consult
your intuition. Once you have that necessary information,
take a moment to consult your intuition and
how do you feel about the decision,
weigh your pros and cons.
Use logical analysis to weigh the pros and
cons of your options. This is where I
say put pen to paper. I tell my
nieces that call me up for advice. Or
if I have staff members, of my men
that will ask me for advice, and I
always lead with, I want you to take
and pen to paper. Write down those pros
and cons.
I love that my mom would always do
that with me when I came to her
with a problem, and I had to solve
it. She would say put pen to paper
write the pros and cons of each of
the decisions that you were faced with.
Considered long term impact, think about the long
term impact of your decision, how will it
affect you and others in the future?
And my fifth 1 for you make a
balanced choice
combine your intuitive insights with rational analysis to
make a well rounded
decision. Balancing
intuition with logical thing, can lead to a
more effective and satisfying
decision. And now I'd love to hear from
you my amazing listeners and I wanna hear
how intuition has played a role in your
decision making process.
