When to Trust Your Intuition in Romance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How much do you trust your intuition?<\/p>\n

In our culture, we talk a lot about women\u2019s<\/strong> intuition. A number of my clients have even told me that influential women in their lives encouraged<\/strong> them to always trust their intuition.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the picture we tend to paint.<\/p>\n

Men rely on reason<\/strong>. Their raw logic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Women, on the other hand, are more tuned into subtle<\/strong> clues. They use their intuition to feel their way through difficult situations\u2014with grace and strength, of course.<\/p>\n

Personally, I don\u2019t like making those kinds of assumptions based on gender. But the idea that women rely on intuition is pretty strong<\/strong> in our culture.<\/p>\n

So much so that Marilyn Monroe once said, \u201cA woman knows by intuition or instinct, what is best for herself.\u201d While intuition can be good, it\u2019s not<\/strong> completely reliable.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because intuition is a complicated<\/strong> thing.<\/p>\n

Your brain is like a really advanced supercomputer. It processes<\/strong> some things way faster than you can articulate them.<\/p>\n

What we call \u201cintuition\u201d is really just your brain working quickly<\/strong>, and recognizing patterns outside of your conscious<\/strong> awareness.<\/p>\n

And more often than not, your intuition is right. But what about the times when it\u2019s wrong?<\/p>\n

In a recent study, a group of researchers set out to understand what happens when intuition leads us astray. They found that when intuition is wrong<\/strong>, it only makes things worse.<\/p>\n

As one of the researchers explained, \u201c. . . people who strongly trust their gut instincts tend to harshly condemn<\/strong> moral transgressions, and they do not change their point of view even after thinking about the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, if you put a lot of faith in your intuition, it can make you close-minded. When you\u2019re wrong, you won\u2019t be likely to see it. That can really mess<\/strong> with a relationship.<\/p>\n

So what do you do?<\/p>\n

If intuition is almost always right, you don\u2019t want to ignore it. But you don\u2019t want to trust it completely, either.<\/p>\n

The key is finding the right<\/strong> balance.<\/p>\n

Follow three simple guidelines to get the biggest romantic boost out of your intuition . . . without getting bit in the behind.<\/p>\n

Pay attention to your intuition.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First, pay attention to your intuition. Like we covered earlier, intuition is your brain working at high-speed<\/strong>. It\u2019s right more often than it\u2019s wrong!<\/p>\n

That guy who seems like he\u2019s nothing but trouble, even though you can\u2019t say why? He probably is…<\/p>\n

…and the other guy who with no sense of style in clothing who you have a good feeling about? He might be worth getting to know.<\/p>\n

Intuition CAN<\/strong> serve you. Don\u2019t ignore it.<\/p>\n

Instead, tune into it.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t trust your intuition absolutely.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the same time\u2014your intuition is NOT<\/strong> flawless.<\/p>\n

There will be times when your gut is wrong…<\/p>\n

Not a little wrong. Totally wrong.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll give a guy a chance when you should have walked. You may let someone decent slip away.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not clairvoyant.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, if you trust your intuition completely, you won\u2019t realize you\u2019re wrong when you are. That means you\u2019ll keep on making the same mistakes instead of developing<\/strong> and refining your intuition.<\/p>\n

Cultivate a healthy<\/strong> respect for intuition without ever thinking of it as a sure thing.<\/p>\n

Keep your thoughts fluid.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s that balance I mentioned before. Instead of locking into an intuition-based opinion<\/strong> about a guy (or anything else), try to keep your thoughts fluid.<\/p>\n

Think of it like this.<\/p>\n

You know what size you wear. Most of the time you can order stuff online and it fits. But there are sites where the sizes are way off. So when you order online, you always check the return policy . . . because you can\u2019t be 100% sure THIS STORE is one you can count on.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it is with intuition.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, your gut is right<\/strong>. But you need a little bit of doubt in the mix. Not enough to keep you from acting, but enough to make sure you stay open-minded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This lets you learn<\/strong> from mistakes. And that enhances your pattern recognition ability (the basis of intuitive insight).<\/p>\n

Intuition is powerful. So use it. And keep developing<\/strong> it over time by remaining curious about the occasions when you\u2019ve taken a wrong turn.<\/p>\n

P.S. If you haven\u2019t already learned to refine your natural intuition for relationships, I strongly urge you to take my short relationship course about using intuition to guide your romantic life.<\/p>\n

It’s a Relationship Reboot<\/strong> program that will totally change your life. You simply have to use your Feminine Love Instinct<\/strong> to kickstart the whole process.<\/p>\n
