Your brain is now almost locked in on those memories and believes that those memories are useful. So the things that you saw right before, I don't know, the boat sunk or right before the relationship exploded, your brain has still got those in storage and is going to bring them out and use them as almost like a tester for what, you know, that experience would look like in the future.

How do we avoid it, essentially? I feel like that just, I just rambled there and that maybe didn't make any sense. I just like to give the example of being afraid of flying, right? And having experienced a traumatic flying event. That has happened to me. I had a really traumatic flight once. It was just, I'm not even going to go into details, but it was just so awful. It was so awful.

People were crying. People were screaming. It was genuinely traumatic. It may have not led to PTSD, but what it did lead to was a heightened anxiety response in relation to flying.

And because I went through that, my brain is now so hyper aware of how scary that felt that anytime I get on a plane, I'm thinking, oh my God, this twinge in my stomach, that's a sign because I felt anxious when I thought the plane was crashing. And so this new feeling must be like the same feeling that is actually just a natural response to an unknown must be telling me something.

This is all to say, obviously, anxiety is going to feel a lot like a sign sometimes because it is loud, because it is sometimes linked to very emotional, heightened situations and because it's fear based and we are naturally prone to listen to fear. Okay, now we really need to discuss intuition.

If you want to hear like a full debrief on anxiety, you can listen to, I think it's episode 31 on the anxious mind. But now it's important to distinguish between anxiety and intuition here.

Intuition is something that is sometimes lumped in with a bunch of other concepts, paranoia, cognitive biases, emotional thinking, anxiety, of course, a gut instinct, our inner voice, whatever you want to call it, whatever people confuse it as. Basically, intuition describes the way that we can just sense that something is not quite right without needing rational proof in that moment.
