EP 131: When to Use Instinct, Intuition, or Higher Level Thinking

from Wake Up To Your Life · host Amanda Foust

There are three main ways our brain thinks, and in this episode I share a breakdown of instinct, intuition, and higher-level thinking, what each of these really means (and why they’re different), and when you should tap into each type of thinking. Key Takeaways: -Instinct is primal & fast (brainstem) -Intuition is pattern-based, subtle, and informed by experience -Higher thinking is slow, logical, resource-heavy Resources:  Take the Quiz: "Which Area of Your Life Needs A Wake Up Call?"  Wake Up To Your Life Coaching  Highest Potential Planner  Follow along on the 'gram @wakeuptoyourlife_  Expectation vs. Reality Workbook
