Chapter 1: Why do we ignore our intuition?
Maybe you have had the same experience where you just feel like something is off about somebody and it is it always is Why is that? Why is that? This is an uncomfortable topic to make a video about because I know some people do not believe in this They think that this is a whole lot of BS baloney sandwich Famously baloney sandwich. There's just a lot of
content out there about spirituality about following your instinct following your heart and i used to think it was all trash i used to think that this there's nothing there's no merit to that there's nothing to see there what life is is what life is there's there's no there's nothing to follow when it comes to making decisions But that's just not true.
At least my experience has just not been that. I urge you, if there is one thing that you do in life, it's to follow your intuition. I urge you. I wish I knew to do this sooner. I wish. And I do it a lot. I do it every day. It's become something that is indispensable to the way that I make things happen.
Now, sure, scientifically, that might mean that I'm just going off of instinct or I'm just the first decision in my brain is the one I make, but I don't know. And maybe somebody can validate me. Maybe you have had the same experience where you just feel like something is off about somebody. And it is. It always is. Why is that? Why is that?
Chapter 2: How can intuition guide decision-making?
Anytime I have gone off of intuition, even in the moment when something does not make sense, when things are not working out but I'm following the intuition, I get to where I need to be. And maybe that is just survivor bias, right? Or it's the bias of something going right. And so you feel like your intuition is goaded. And it's like, you know, messy World Cup 2022 Qatar level. But I don't know.
I live my life off intuition now. I just have learned to trust it and like trust myself. And I've had too many examples where I have gone against it. Because I'm like, no, no. It makes sense on paper. And everything crumbles. Everything crumbles. I'm not here to debate what it is. Because I don't think that that's... I don't know what it is.
I don't know why I will feel certain things and I'll be like, this is wrong. Something is off about this. But I think that everyone has this. I think everyone... deep down knows that they have an intuition. You can probably look back at a certain instance in your life where you felt like something was wrong, something was weird, and you could not put your finger on it. That's usually how it is.
But you kind of just went with it anyways, even though, I don't know, maybe somebody was telling you, oh, you should go to this party, but you knew that you really shouldn't have gone to this party. Something's off about it. Or someone is DMing you, being like, hey, what's up? Hey, I think you're cute. And you're like, This is a bot. This is 100% a bot.
But your intuition is telling you, hey, no, they're low-key valid. I don't know. Intuition is so strong. It is, but it's only strong if you allow it to really be strong and if you actually follow it and you don't judge the journey in which you go down. And that's, I think, the big thing that I've learned to do now. I go off of my intuition. I go off of what feels right.
it is represented in the way I make the show, the Zerky show. It's all off of intuition. All of my titles are off of intuition. It's not like I'm GPT-ing, you know, some kind of, make me an awesome title and a topic. No, I just, I try to pull, I try to pull out, oh my God, I try to pull out of myself things that are important that I want to talk about. And that's why intuition is so

Chapter 3: What are the consequences of ignoring our gut feelings?
It's so integral to that. It's so integral to that. It's so integral to just how I live life. I've done so many things that don't make sense that if you told my mom and dad, they would say, what, are you crazy?
Can we? Can we?
Can we?
Yes, I am. Yes, mama, I am crazy. Sorry.
No, but I don't know. I don't know. What do you think about intuition? Do you think it's... A valid thing? Or do you think it's us psyching ourselves out? Because maybe it's the latter. Maybe it is really that, you know, we think we know what's good and what's bad. And so we're making a decision based off that.
But I don't know because there's been also instances where I've been like, ah, like this is a great, this is a great opportunity, but I do not, something is not compelling me. And I can feel it like on the right side of my body that is like, no, do not do it. But I also know on the left side when it's like, oh yeah, you should run it. You should do it. You should try it.
And even when I've failed or it's gone wrong, something has always come out of it that was important to me. Or good for me. And I use intuition for steering things. the way in which I execute things and I do things. Because oftentimes my intuition is not actually the perfectionism that's fighting against me. And that's interesting because those are two different things, right?
Like intuitively, I will know if I want to make something or if I want to create something. Let's say I want to make a sculpture, right? Intuitively, I I will know that the best way to make that sculpture is to just make it. To buy the clay, sit down, start kind of carving, have like a rough idea, and even if it sucks, intuitively I know that is how I want to make the thing.
That is the easiest way to make it, and that is where it is going to take me the quickest to the end goal. But the perfectionism will sometimes hijack our mind to think, wait a minute, no, no, no, the intuition is wrong. The intuition is trying to make you to do something that it's just like dumb, it's silly. You actually, what you need to do is you need to first study, because I studied, bro.

Chapter 4: How to differentiate between fear and intuition?
I think that's what you think your parents want you to do when you actually really want to do law or something. There are a lot of decisions that we make that are completely based and predicated on other people. Our intuition, on the other hand, knows what's best for us. It always does.
there's always like this hunch and I've even used it in real life situations like there's certain streets that I would get like a you know I'm walking alone at night and I'm like something in my gut is telling me to not go down this street and I don't know
why but I don't want to test it I don't know I just don't want to test it and also intuitively I've had moments where I was like okay I need to do this this scares me but I know it's like intuitively I'm like this needs to be done I have to do this I have to tell you know the person that That I don't like. That I don't feel the same way that they feel about me.
Even though, yeah, I mean, it would be cool to go on a couple dates and get boba or whatever and then never see them again. But that's just not respectable. And it wouldn't sit good on my conscience. Follow your intuition. Follow your intuition. There are certain things that you cannot understand yet. There are certain things that you cannot see. And I...
I'm telling you this because it doesn't make sense. It doesn't. It does not make sense. None of it. But rarely do things in life really make sense. Yeah, there's certain things we know that it's like, you know, baseline. But there have been so many just moments in my life Where something was telling me to just not pull the trigger on a certain purchase.
Or something was telling me to not be so concerned about a certain situation. It would work itself out. There were other times where everything seemed peaceful. Everything seemed good. But something was wrong. Something was very wrong. And I just could feel it. I was like, something is wrong. You know, intuitively right now I'm even experiencing like

Chapter 5: What role does intuition play in creativity?
I am stressing myself, and intuitively, I'm like, there's nothing to stress about. Why am I stressing? It's because I'm out of balance.
because I'm out of balance that's really what it is and I'm finally getting down to the root of that of like oh dang like the fact that I haven't been keeping up with my hobbies my sleep my you know I've been traveling like crazy like Anthony Bourdain which is dope but like geez this is a lot you know it's making me realize I gotta get back to balance and that's really what's causing this like seesaw of emotions so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna follow my intuition
It's also a crushing feeling when you want something to be true and then intuitively you know it's not. Oh, let's get into it. When somebody tells you, you know, I love you. And you're like, no you don't. No you don't. You don't love me. I've played these games before, I know. I miss you. No you don't. You don't miss me. You do not miss me. You want something from me. And that's okay.
That's cool. Hey. H-E-triple-Y. It's like, come on. Nobody's calling you out of the blue to just tell you that they miss you. I mean, maybe some people are. But they want something. Intuitively, you feel that they want something. They want to get back together. They want to see you again. I don't know if I'm going to see you again.
If you rewind it, it's like, no, no, I don't want to see you again. I'm good. I'm good off that. I'm following my intuition. Something's weird. Something's odd. If it's too good to be true, it is. It is. It often is. Just the reality of things. And maybe if it seems too good to be true, but intuitively you feel like it is, maybe it is good. Maybe it's not too good. Maybe it's just good.
And you have to just try it. Okay, Zerky, how do we tap into our intuition? Like, how do we... Build a conversation with it. How do we actually talk to it? Old reference. Great question. That's a really good question. Here's what I would tell you. This is what I do. The first step is noticing it. That's the first step. And it's understanding what, what is it a physical? Is it a mental?
Is it a, this is so woo woo, but is it a spiritual thing? Do you, when something is on, like something is like, that's good. How do you feel it? Is it a pressure? Is it a relief? Is it a tension? Is it some there's some kind of maybe bodily response that you have from it where it's like that is a clear yes. And then is there some kind of visceral response to a clear no of like and sometimes.
your intuition just i mean will kind of leave the decision up to you maybe there is no right answer and both are fine you have to kind of be okay with with that that's the first thing you got to just notice you know admitting that this is a thing is the first step now how do you follow it you have to make a conscious decision and you have to also let yourself sit with a problem

Chapter 6: How can we learn to trust our intuition?
Oftentimes we'll have maybe a gut reaction of like if someone's like, you know You trying to go to Whataburger tonight with the bro skis and you're like no Instantly like you can feel it like no, I don't I don't want to go I actually want to watch the GTA 6 trailer again and dissect all the scenes in it.
Okay, cool right you have an instant like no or you you know, you have to study for an exam and Intuitively you're like no I can't do this. I have to lock in or I'm gonna fail this class for the second time. Jeez. I Rough. Okay. The next step is following that. It's when you feel it, it's like a prediction. Okay. Now I know if I do go to Whataburger with the bros, something will be off.
I will know that something is off. And my intuition is telling me that that is not a good idea. I even though it's like imagine that it's like one of your best friends you haven't seen in years. Oh, my goodness. It's like the prime opportunity. But something is off about it. Then you like listening to that. That's what you need to do. That's how you follow the intuition. Now here's the hard part.
FOMO. FOMO. This is where trust comes in. This is something I've had to, this is, I have learned this and I'm still learning how to do this, but time and time again, without fail, it has, it has been a saving grace in my life. You follow your intuition, you make the decision and no matter what happens, no matter if you know that hangout was the best hangout ever. It's awesome.
You have to stick by your decision. That's how this works. That's how you build a relationship with your, with your intuition because you can't be going and cheating on it. You know, this isn't love Island. Like, you know, you have to commit to the intuition. If you want to listen to it, if you want the powers of it, you know, quote unquote.
But if you just want it to guide you, you cannot allow yourself to be swayed super easily by the opinions of others. Right.
real alphas are not concerned about employment they're concerned about alphaism no but okay what i mean is you have to be okay with the fact that you might make a decision that your gut is telling you is the right one but in the actual moment it seems like why did i even make that decision i was overreacting or this didn't feel right trust bro trust you have to trust
Sometimes the reason you made that decision won't become evident right away. It might take months. It might take years. There are certain opportunities that I decided against, like working with certain people that now I'm very thankful I didn't work with because my goodness, something was off about it. They seemed a little too eager, too friendly.
They didn't seem like they were going to respect my personal space. And I was like, no, thank you. And then something comes out that they were actually a really terrible person. I don't know. It's happened. My belief, and maybe this is my own, is that we've always had intuition. We've always had it. It's just that some of us maybe are more willing to access it than others.
