Putting instinct to work

Animals overwhelmingly do a better job at using their instinct than we do. I think we all know why; since childhood we’ve been formatted through the education we’ve received and have shelved our instinct to rely instead on learned behaviors and techniques in order to function within society. From a gender standpoint, female generally do a much better job than men at successfully using their instinct, but by and large, we human are really lousy at harnessing that powerful resources that’s programmed within us. The big question is thus how can we re-learn to tap into our instinct and become confident enough in so doing that we can actually use that invisible set of antennas for handling our daily dilemmas, mapping out our lives and achieving our goals? I strongly believe that one way to achieve that would be to keep track of the results of hunches inspirations we end up acting upon or ignoring. Sounds like an arduous endeavor? Maybe, but I don’t see what else could be done. From that point forward, we just would need to tally our success and failures and start finding a pattern in the way they appear or feel to us when they pop in front of our mind’s eye or from the depths of our subconscious. Has anyone ever tried to work along these lines? If so, I’d be anxious to read how they’ve been able to retrieve and retrain the animal instinct that lay dormant in each one of us. This is subject dear to my heart, so expect to read more about it…
