Data-driven strategies often take center stage. However, what if there\u2019s another layer, something that can\u2019t be measured but can make a big difference? That\u2019s where intuition comes in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But what is it? And why do <a href=\"https:\/\/datascienceassn.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Only%20Human%20-%20The%20Emotional%20Logic%20of%20Business%20Decisions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">62% of executives<\/a> rely on it to make decisions?<\/p>\n<p>According to Laura, intuition is \u201c<em>your ability to move your attention\u2014and your attention is your five senses\u2014anywhere in space and time<\/em>.\u201d Simply put, it allows you to see beyond the obvious. You can anticipate challenges before they happen.<\/p>\n<p>An insightful example she gives on The Mindvalley Show is when she predicted a drop in oil prices. But she also emphasizes that the CEOs she works with are already highly intuitive. They use her as a second opinion for their own gut feelings. She says, \u201c<em>I\u2019m their stop gap\u2026I am working with people who are really using me for those moments where they may be a little off the ranch<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also notes the collaborative aspect of this tool, saying, \u201c<em>People get together, they find where they match, and then they apply it to the market<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s not just about random gut feelings. It\u2019s about honing your senses to make smarter decisions, especially in business.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-is-intuition-different-from-impulsivity\">How is intuition different from impulsivity?<\/h3>\n<p>Making decisions on the fly happens often in business. And understanding the difference between being intuitive and being impulsive is crucial for making better decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Intuition often leads you toward choices that align with your deeper values and long-term goals. It comes from a place of quiet confidence, based on your past experiences, knowledge, and innate sense. And when you follow it, you\u2019re more likely to make choices that are beneficial for you in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Impulsivity, on the other hand, follows your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/instinct-vs-intuition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">instincts<\/a> and usually stems from emotional reactivity. It\u2019s when, as Laura explains, \u201c<em>you feel you need to act on something immediately<\/em>.\u201d Your decisions are made quickly without giving them much thought, often leading to regret or negative outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By developing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/self-awareness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-awareness<\/a>, you can more easily tell whether you\u2019re acting out of intuition or impulsivity. And in professional settings, knowing the difference helps you avoid the pitfalls of rash decisions and enables you to trust your gut when it truly matters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-laura-day-tips-on-how-to-listen-to-your-intuition\">Laura Day Tips On How to Listen to Your Intuition<\/h2>\n<p>Learning to trust your gut can be a game-changer in both personal and professional settings. Laura offers some powerful tips on The Mindvalley Show, inspired by her book <em>The Circle<\/em>:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-define-your-intuitive-senses\">1. Define your intuitive senses<\/h3>\n<p>Everyone has, what Laura calls, a \u201cfront runner\u201d sense that is most effective in guiding them intuitively. It could be a visual cue, a tone you hear, or even a smell that shifts in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vishen, for example, feels a pulse. In a previous sales position, he used to go through the Yellow Pages in a relaxed state of mind, waiting for a gut feeling to tell him which companies to call to sell software. By trusting his gut, he was able to double his sales, proving the power of intuition in business.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, each person\u2019s intuitive sense is unique to them, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to understand which sense is your strongest. And by paying attention to your leading sense, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/sharpen-your-intuition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sharpen your intuition<\/a> effectively.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-know-your-goal-s\">2. Know your goal(s)<\/h3>\n<p>Information comes at us from right, left, and center. As Laura explains, \u201c<em>Everyone\u2019s getting intuitions all of the time. What intuition requires is a focus<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to her, whether it\u2019s in business or personal life, the first step is to clearly define your goal. For companies, that could mean anything from making a profit to developing a new, innovative product. Knowing your goal helps you direct your intuitive senses in a way that\u2019s effective and targeted.<\/p>\n<p>This focus is where practical intuition shines. Once you have a clear goal, you can use your senses \u201c<em>to perceive what\u2019s there<\/em>,\u201d be it opportunities or challenges related to that goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, it\u2019s not about scattering your attention all over the place; it\u2019s about perceiving what\u2019s relevant to your objective.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-create-new-patterns\">3. Create new patterns<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve tuned into your intuition, the next step is to act on it. \u201c<em>Then what happens<\/em>,\u201d says Laura, \u201c<em>is how do we create new patterns? How do we create a new framework from what we now intuit and that addresses our goal?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, feeling that gut instinct is just one part. The other part is about making real changes based on what your intuition tells you.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019ve been struggling with a big decision. Maybe you\u2019ve even consulted with your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/spirit-guides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spirit guides<\/a> for extra guidance. Now, your intuition is strongly signaling a path for you to take. So, what do you do next? You create a new pattern by actually taking that path.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a career change, a move to a new city, or even just adopting a healthier lifestyle, acting on your intuitive insights means making fresh choices.<\/p>\n<p>However, creating new patterns isn\u2019t just about making one big leap. It\u2019s also about the small, everyday choices that add up over time. By consistently listening to your intuition, you can gradually shape your life in a more fulfilling direction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-the-next-step\">Take the Next Step<\/h2>\n<p>Like a sixth sense you never knew you had, tuning into your intuition can become second nature.
