Episode 11-Intuition Isn't Magic...lt's Science!

from Blunt But Brilliant · host Nikki Ivers and Tary Varnum

We have a gut feeling that a lot of people out there need to hear this. Intuition used to be thought of as some kind of mystic psychic thing that people didn't really understand. Well, it's not magic...it's science! Albert Einstein thought intuition to be a "sacred gift" and "the only real valuable thing". He also believed that while the rational mind is a useful servant, intuition is the source of true discovery and innovation. Research shows that our "gut feeling" is rooted in past experiences, accumulated knowledge, and core instincts. At certain times, our brains are flipping through gobs of learned information at lightning speed to make sense of a situation. While this is happening, we might feel a bit sick to our stomachs, off balance, headachy or tingly. That is the "gut feeling". In this episode, we'll share with you why it's important to listen to your inner voice, how to pay attention to your intuition, and the benefits you receive when you learn how to do this. Nikki's Favorite Item of the Weekhttps://snif.co/products/crumb-couture?_pos=1&_psq=crumb&_ss=e&_v=1.0Tary's Favorite Item of the Weekhttps://www.amazon.com/Cobbe-Handheld-Pressure-Showerhead-Substance/dp/B0BJDPJNN3/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=3ISDFOBCMPE3L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.65SO_FX0GH0XiWwo9fSa8sYfXo48lDD43fuKkWxfbrGBLRib0Z-7xB9C8G7CS1uF7H6bhbo-sLXBD4E3w_8iyzHkLlkK0SleMJTrXDcqo5-AYvLb98h4JOGcBlNec_FAC6Cv1djPkkrq7x50GAEFNP7V4lUPZl0Czal1AA02eGsNUvz4RG5hUcRGSZL0b8YqSFpJK-FOk5sLv8tkMDoTTLUCXCEvEoA4Eu6wq4C8VaZT325EMFz3AS48203GbwvH7_0XD_C4GEamPbSon8m7NSI7mFlv2xbDGjxx_5Goklw.Qncetbv7wMKDFI5Jc3fE7G_ySuhhmLA7BXkeTHlv5OE&dib_tag=se&keywords=shower%2Bhead%2Bfilter%2Bfor%2Bhard%2Bwater&qid=1763236233&sprefix=shower%2Bhead%2Bfilter%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
