We had a fantastic time at this year's ReThink team meeting in NYC! Thanks for having us, ! We had a blast playing poker.

While we were in NYC, we got some updated headshots done (not pictured here), so keep an eye out on the website... (We'll probably post them too lol!) A little chaotic in one hotel room, but it was still a great success. Thank you to sallymontana_photo and for the awesome new pics!

We also got some snazzy new ReThink team jackets😎... Thanks !

How To Get In Touch With Your Intuition+ When To Trust Your Intuition When Making Decisions: for Authority Magazine🧠

"Intuition means expertise, the sum total of your knowledge about something. It ties back to unconscious pattern recognition or the idea that you recognize a pattern in the past because you learned things about that pattern.

You can think of it in terms of sports — like tennis or golf or skiing, or even playing an instrument. The same applies to complex math. When someone who has an understanding of math looks at a problem, they have a sense of which math to apply, whereas someone with less expertise might not even know where to begin."

Like we say -

Seeing Depression as Having a Purpose Could Aid Healing Framing it as a disease hinders recovery, so why keep doing it?

Learning to leverage true “gut feeling” (intuition) is the secret to everything. Novices use linear, explicit steps. The more of an expert we are, the more the knowledge gets pushed into the body. Visceral intelligence, fuzzy trace theory, intuition … an edge to cultivate.

The way to "rewire" your brain to expect more success is to set up small events in which you prevail. Set up small wins. You need the past experience to predict the successful future. Always.

Ambiguity aversion: the fear of unknown probabilities is likely hampering your decision-making skills.

We want things to be certain. But in trading, price action and the best thing to do is almost always uncertain and very frequently our analyses produce conflicting answers. We have to learn to deal with uncertainty.

Our psyches are the same fractal patterns of perception in different scales of life. Your past experiences have shaped you and your behaviors + your beliefs reflect this.

Using feelings as information is about expanding your choices. Emotions add information to any situation. They inform us on how to make our best choices.

Trading success comes from learning to understand and use emotions. We can feel our emotions without acting on them. Emotional information is a dataset that we can learn to harness. It's more fighting the impulsive *behaviors* than fighting our emotions.

When making decisions, any decision, try to figure out what future feelings+emotions you are expecting to get from each choice. This will illuminate your true motivation more than any other single thing you can do.

As you contemplate decisions, realize that you have your data/expertise, but you also have the parallel process of beliefs+confidence in your strategy. Recognize+unpack that dimension as data point too. Learn your physical manifestations of confidence (or lack thereof) + differentiate your feelings.

Nature has fractals. Cauliflower or broccoli are fractal patterns -- the small parts greatly resemble the whole. Our psyches are the same - the small events in childhood create patterns and we replay or re-experience the same patterns in our bigger adult lives.

There is a very real phenomenon where people are afraid of what their anger will create. In other words, we subconsciously fear what we will do IF we recognize it. We are actually afraid of our own power (and impulsiveness).

Every single decision we make is ultimately based on emotion. Analyses lead to feelings. Learn how to make that work FOR you.

Fears, frustrations and regrets can illuminate things we need to know. Itemizing feelings dissipates their unpleasant energy and in turn opens up pathways otherwise hidden. Admitting to shades of these “negative feelings” REDUCES the chance that the feeling gets in your way.

Learn to listen to your body. What sensations are associated with different feelings? What are they telling you? Use this as information.
