Going With Your Gut: How To Self Calibrate


Business Insurance:

The Oxford English Dictionary defines intuition as \"the immediate apprehension of an object by the mind without the intervention of any reasoning process\".

Isaac Asimov said of the subject, \"Intuition is the art, peculiar to the human mind, of working out the correct answer from data that is, in itself, incomplete or even, perhaps, misleading.\"

Are you in touch with this aspect of your self? Can you metaphorically and/or literally go your own way without asking for directions?

We all have the experience of gut feelings, most likely in the form of danger. . . Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is an unpleasant reminder of our intuitive natures. Or maybe you\'ve experienced it in a romantic situation. We\'ve all heard stories of a man or woman meeting their mate for the first time and thinking to themselves, \'This is the person I\'m going to marry. I can feel it.\'

Intuition is a muscle that can be strengthened. It is an aspect of emotional intelligence and with study, attention and patience, can be grown and used to further aid your persuasion skills.

Hunches, gut feelings and intuitions are entirely acceptable to apply in business matters as well as life in general. Following these are signs that our other than conscious Gentle Giant is flawlessly guiding our lives as we\'ve requested.

When I experience a moment of intuitive clarity, I feel it in the back of my stomach, radiating sharply. Other people experience it as a jump in their chest. Others still, feel a hardness in the backs of their throats. By paying attention to these physical shifts, the world of self-calibration opens up to us. These shifts can sometimes me huge differences in the things we do and measures we take to close a deal or get out of a dangerous or difficult situation.

Following your hunches and intuition should not negate logic or reason. I\'m not suggesting that at all. But when you combine them they can increase your powers of persuasion incredibly. Many people believe that hunches and intuition should be relegated to new age enthusiasts. But think of it this way: what\'s a police officer without his gut instinct? Lee Iacoca once said, \"The only mistake I ever made was not listening to my gut.\"

Think back to times when you had these feelings and didn\'t heed the warning. What unpleasantness could you have avoided if you had (a broken heart, a stolen purse. . .)?

By checking in, centering, and gaining clarity, our persuasion is enhanced immeasurably in all aspects of life. A really great resource on intuition is Laura Day\'s book, \'Practical Intuition,\' which contains some amazing exercises to strengthen and stretch the \"sixth sense\" or really, what I like to think of as our relationship to and messages from our gentle giant.
