How Intuition Works
WIthout knowingly thinking about it, your unconscious brain starts working on a problem or decision. When you then try to make a conscious decision, your brain compares that decision with the one it already made.
- If your unconscious agrees with your conscious decision, your brain gives you a reward response that feels good.
- If your unconscious doesn't agree with your conscious decision, the decision seems logical but it doesn't feel right.
Intuition is when you make the right decision and your body knows it. If you make the wrong decision, your body knows it but you often can't explain why.
