Intuition Is Your Brain’s Real-Life Superpower, So You Should Trust It
You know the phrase, “Trust your gut?” As it turns out, when someone gives you that advice, you really should take it.
When someone says that to you, they’re telling you to trust your intuition.
Think of intuition as your brain’s superpower. It’s the ability to know or understand something without having to overthink or analyze it. It’s like a mental shortcut that our brain takes, comparing current experiences to past ones and picking up on environmental cues, all without us even realizing it.
One of the most fascinating parts about intuition is that it’s something you can’t see. That’s why some people may have a hard time figuring out exactly when their intuition is kicking in.
However, while intuition is a process you may not be able to see, there are some physical symptoms that will occur when your intuition kicks in.
For instance, if you’re put in a sketchy situation before your mind even processes what’s happening, your body may suddenly feel tense. Not only will you feel a lot of tension, but you’ll also find it very hard to relax.
Another symptom of your intuition kicking in is that “gut feeling,” which is why people tell you to “trust your gut.” You may feel a pit in your stomach or symptoms similar to nausea. There are also moments where you may unconsciously avoid a certain area or people because your intuition tells you to stay away.
Over the decades, scientists have been studying intuition and seeing if there are ways to measure it.
While there are still ways to go, many studies have indicated that our intuition becomes stronger and more well-developed when we have experiences under our belts. The older we get and the more we experience, the easier our brain can aid us in avoiding potentially dangerous situations through our intuition.

If you’ve ever experienced these things, it was likely because your intuition was functioning properly and doing its job.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older, it’s that you should never regret trusting your instincts. Let’s say you get invited to a party, but it’s in a sketchy part of town and takes place late at night.
Your head may tell you to go for one reason or another, but you have that gut feeling that tells you to turn down the invite, so you don’t go.
Then, you later find out that something bad happened at the party. Would you regret not going? No, you would be glad you trusted your intuition.
Nothing bad may happen in some cases, and you may think you were silly for following your intuition.
But my advice is, don’t! It’s always better to be safe than sorry, and you shouldn’t participate in something or go somewhere if your body is physically turning you against it.
Have you ever been in a situation where your intuition stopped you from doing something dangerous?
