Differentiating Intuition from Worry

The article points out that feelings of discomfort or the sense that something is wrong often raise many questions among young people and women about the difference between intuition—an subtle inner feeling—and anxiety, which is characterized by tension and persistent fear. It explains that intuition is linked to the brain network responsible for unconscious information processing and presents itself as a calm sensation that informs a person about what is happening in the present moment. In contrast, anxiety is associated with a danger-processing area in the brain and is characterized by impulsiveness and urgency, with thinking often centered on the worst possible outcomes in the future. The article notes that anxiety can cause repetitive mental loops and diminish the ability to rely on intuition, whereas intuition typically aligns with personal values and functions consistently. Practical methods are provided to distinguish between the two feelings, such as assessing the sensation after calming down—intuition remains steady, while anxiety fades or changes quickly. The article concludes that understanding the nature of these feelings and differentiating between them can help young people make better decisions and reduce confusion between intuition and anxiety.
