Get Smart! About Modern Romantic Relationships Your Personal Guide to Finding Right and Real Love By Michelle L. Casto Chapter One (continued): Get Smart! Decision Making It's been said that intuition is your divine spirit talking to you. If we stop for a moment and acknowledge this, we realize the incredible perspective we have. Unfortunately, this is a perspective we often choose to ignore because it is an underdeveloped skill. Developing your intuitive guidance is essential to smart decision-making and includes balancing your cognitive (thinking) abilities with your affective (feeling) abilities. Synthesizing information from your head and your heart provides you with the information needed to make smart decisions. You only have to learn how to develop these powers and bring them into your consciousness. With practice, it will become second nature for you. The first step is to obviously become aware that you contain this amazing power! But you must choose to use it! Next, you have to realize that when dealing with matters of love there can be some discrepancies between what the mind thinks and what the heart feels. When we fall in love, we get all mixed up, we experience side effects like not being able to think straight, eat right, or even concentrate on work. It is pretty safe to say that our equilibrium is all out of whack. And we tend to do one of two things: We either throw out all rational behavior altogether or block any and all emotions from our consciousness. We need to learn to align these two extremes, balance them, and make decisions from a true state of "knowing," which is our intuition. It is easy to see how people who want to be in love misinterpret information that comes from their head to heart. However, you can learn to take these two seemingly opposing faculties and fuse them to have singleness of purpose and direction.
