In a world full of decisions, trusting your intuition can be the guiding force that leads you in the right direction. That inner voice, that gut feeling, is often more reliable than we give it credit for. Science backs up the power of intuition, and history has shown us time and time again that trusting it can lead to incredible outcomes. Let’s explore why intuition is essential, the statistics behind it, examples of intuition in action, historical oddities, and how to use this wisdom to transition into a productive March. 

The Science Behind Intuition

Intuition is more than just a hunch; it’s a subconscious process that helps us make decisions quickly and effectively. Studies show that 90-95% of our decisions are made using intuition rather than logical reasoning. According to research published in Psychological Science, people who trust their gut instincts often make faster and more accurate decisions than those who overanalyze.

3 Examples of Intuition in Action

1. The Job Interview Decision: You walk into an interview, and something about the atmosphere or the interviewer doesn’t feel right. Later, you find out the company was facing serious internal issues. Your gut warned you ahead of time.
   
   

2. Parent's Instincts: Many parents have a strong intuitive sense when something is wrong with their child, even before any visible symptoms appear. Doctors have found that parental intuition can often predict health concerns before medical tests confirm them.
   
   

3. Financial Decisions: Investors often rely on intuition when making high-stakes decisions. While data and analysis are important, legendary investors like Warren Buffett have credited their success to a strong sense of intuitive decision-making.

3 Historical Oddities of Intuition

1. Abraham Lincoln’s Dream: Days before his assassination, Lincoln confided in friends that he had dreamt of a funeral at the White House. His intuition seemed to foreshadow his own death.
   
   

2. The Titanic Warnings: Multiple passengers canceled their trips aboard the Titanic due to an unshakable sense of dread. Some later described feeling an inexplicable intuition that saved their lives.
   
   

3. Mark Twain’s Premonition: The famous author once had a vivid dream about his brother’s death. Days later, his brother passed away in an accident that mirrored Twain’s vision.
