Many of us feel we have intuition about things. We are able to read people fairly well and make split second decisions when we need to. In some cases this gut feeling we get seems to get better as we age. There is a reason for that.
Familykenkel did a bit of research about intuition and found out some interesting things.
Research has found that intuition in many cases comes from an unconscious form of reasoning. It comes from the way we collect knowledge over time. As we collect knowledge about life we begin to recognize patterns. Your brain organizes patterns into blocks of information. Then when you come across a certain type of situation of familiar design your brain recognizes the larger picture. This is what many people refer to as intuition.
Familykenkel came up with a few ways people use their intuition.
4 Ways People Use Intuition
Experience-when you do something you have a lot of experience in you can probably trust your instincts. If you have been playing golf for many years you can use your gut rather than analyze every swing. At this point you should know what works.
Getting a Second Opinion-no one knows your body as well as you do, and if you think something is wrong but your doctor doesn’t agree maybe you should get a second opinion. In this case it’s important to trust your intuition. It could save your life.
Purchasing a Home-when you buy a house it becomes your home unless you’re buying it as an investment. If you’re purchasing a house to live in you should feel right about it. Studies have found that people who bought a house and went with their intuition concerning the purchase were more satisfied. Of course the home should fit into your budget and you should look at the school district if you have children, but you should also consider the way it feels. Does it feel like a home to you?
Lying-sometimes you get a feeling that someone is lying to you. If you have a strong intuition about this maybe you should look into the situation a bit more. Sometimes you can tell someone is lying if they are acting differently. A few signs that someone is lying are when they stare a bit too long, move around a lot, or cover their mouth with their hand.
So you flew all the way across the country for business or pleasure and when you got settled in the hotel room to unpack, you realized that your toiletries kit or some other badly needed items are still at home? No toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shampoo, or lotion in sight. Your smart phone is five minutes from shutting down and there is no charger in sight. Rather than rush out and try to find a drug store to purchase the forgotten items, why not visit the front desk and ask them if they have what you need. Familykenkel has found the following items are available at most hotel front desks:
Familykenkel learns that the Better Business Bureau issued a fraud alert for consumers who see the above small charge show up on credit and debit account statements. It will often appear with the wording “customer support” or identify itself as any number of different websites. If you see the charge on your account, call the card issuer and report the charge as fraud. 
3. Community Website-many communities also have a community website available for advertisements. Go on the Internet and take a look at what’s available in your area. This is a great way to let people know you are selling furniture.
Find a way to squeeze exercise into your day. Run in place during TV commercials. Do a few sit up. Walk around outside on your lunch hour. It all adds up when coupled with healthy eating to boost weight loss.
One hundred and fifty seconds is all it takes to entice the ticket-paying public to go and see the film. Most movie trailers are that long and their intent is to tickle the public’s interest in the film. The best and most successful trailers are released months before the film is out. 
2. Do Your Research-check out a few online discussion boards in an area you are interested in. LinkedIn has quite a few groups for various careers. Take a look at organizations connected to your interests and speak with people in that field.
