SYL Intuitive Memory Lane

You've probably resisted the pull of intuition in the past. Which is why a trip down intuitive memory lane is incredibly helpful. In the spaces below, list several times (a minimum of three) when you felt an intuitive hunch that something wasn't right—a souring relationship, a dull job, a "friend" you weren't sure you could trust, whatever—but didn't listen to your inner warning and, sure enough, something went wrong. Go ahead. Confess.

Now repeat the process, this time remembering occasions when you did things that turned out well. Did you stay on the elevator for an extra floor to talk to that stranger who became your best friend? Adopt the hampster that became an Internet megastar? Join an intervention that saved an alcoholic's life? Even if you may have doubted these choices in the moment, your intuition sent the signal "Do it!" And thank heaven you did. Write these instances below.
