Overthinking? When To Trust Intuition vs Logic for Better Decision Making

You know when you are overthinking and second guessing a decision, and then once you make the decision you realize your first instinct was right all along? And then there are the other times when you realize gut was dead wrong. That's the paradox of intuition: it's powerful, but it's not always right. And most advice about it falls into one of two camps: "always trust your gut" or "stick to the data." Neither is the full picture.In this conversation, Nil Demircubuk makes the case for a third option: discernment. Your intuition is ready but it's one input, not the only input. The real superpower is knowing when to trust it, when to lean on logic, and when to go get more information before you decide.Nil is an Intuition Facilitator and author of “Down to Earth: Demystify Intuition to Upgrade your Life,” and she although she came to learn her superpower was intuition, her education and vocation were deep into analytics and logic.Nil introduces "priming" as a practical method to access your intuition on demand, not as a replacement for rational thinking, but as a complement to it. She breaks down how to tell the difference between an intuitive hit and a fear-based story, and offers a framework for making decisions that draws on both your inner knowing and your analytical mind.If you've been second-guessing decisions you used to make with confidence... if you're tired of going in circles when the stakes are high... this conversation is an invitation to stop overthinking and start discerning.What you'll take away from this conversation: ☑️ Why "trust your gut" is incomplete advice…and what to do instead ☑️ The priming method: how to intentionally access your intuition on demand☑️ How to tell the difference between intuition and fear-based thinking ☑️ When intuition is the right input — and when logic or more information is what you actually need ☑️ A simple experiment to try after this episode to strengthen your discernment muscle================Recommended Next Videos to Watch:-  High-Achievers Stay Stuck For This ONE Reason | Brooklyn Dicent UN and TEDx Speaker - Overthinking: The Anti-Perfectionism Framework That Works | Wynne Leon - Waiting for All the Answers is Hurting Your Growth | Author Jillian Reilly ================In this episode, Nil answers the following questions:☑️What is intuition?☑️How to develop intuition?☑️How to stop overthinking?☑️How to reduce anxiety?Resources mentioned in the episode: -  Nil’s Website: https://nildemircubuk.com/ Chapters 0:00 Intro to Intuition as Superpower1:29 Welcome Nil Demircubuk1:59 Intuition and Preparing Yourself For Intuition5:41 Knowing When To Use Your Intuition And When Not To 8:06 Noticing and Interpreting Intuition9:23 Mindfulness, Psychology and Intuition15:40 Adaptability and Intuition16:53 Inspiration for Intuition from Health 20:54 The Feeling of Helping Others Tap Into Intuition22:47 What Nil Knows To Be True About Intuition23:21 Intuition Is Always Available To You26:02 How To Experiment With Intuition27:27 Complex Problem-Solving and Non-Conscious Work28:59 Improving Relationships and Empathy Through Intuition  30:08 The Superpower Compulsion 32:12 Lightning RoundMusic in this episode by Ian Kastner."What Do You Know To Be True?" is an invitation to be inspired to become more of your possible self by discovering your superpower, unlocking your potential, and creating your impact in the world.
