How Intuition Improves with Age<\/strong>
\nBy Angela Artemis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people only look at the downside of aging; wrinkles, lower sex drive and slowing down for example. But did you know that getting older is actually a good thing when it comes to your intuition? In his 2008 book, \u201cThe Outliers,\u201d Malcolm Gladwell wrote that to become an expert takes approximately 10,000 hours of practice. Ten thousand hours is the equivalent of five years of working full time if you use the standard forty hour week. Becoming an expert is one of the pillars of success in any field.<\/p>\n

Once you are an \u201cexpert\u201d with all this experience under your belt, something incredible begins to happen. All the information and experience that you have stored in your brain creates a vast encyclopedia of knowledge that is readily available to you in a split second. The information surfaces before you are even consciously aware of thinking that you need to retrieve it. This kind of lightning fast thinking which occurs beneath the level of your awareness, known as \u201cexpert intuition,\u201d was topic of Malcolm Gladwell\u2019s 2005 book, Blink \u2013 The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.<\/p>\n

Think back to your first job and how nervous you were at knowing nothing about it. Weren\u2019t you envious of those people who had been there longer and knew the job backwards and forwards? Weren\u2019t those people the exact same ones you went to when a problem arose and you needed help? Do you remember how easily they solved your problem and showed you what to do? These seasoned employees were using \u201cexpert intuition.\u201d<\/p>\n

It takes time to amass the amount of information and experience needed to become an expert. But those years of learning and doing are well worth the time and effort. And, they are the exact reason an expert will resolve problems and handle a crisis much more quickly than the novice. Think about how many times you\u2019ve said, \u201cIf only I knew then what I know now,\u201d in your life. The truth is only through the life experience of growing older do we accumulate wisdom to call upon when it is needed. This is something that we just cannot do in our youth simply because we haven\u2019t yet amassed the experience.<\/p>\n

A parent knows much more about child-rearing after they\u2019ve done it for several years. By the time they have their second child they will know more than they did with their first. All of the experiences of raising a child become lessons stored in their memory banks. Drawing on all this experience, the experienced parent will know what to do in an emergency situation, whereas they would not have known what to do when they first became a parent.<\/p>\n

A seasoned baseball player will know how to react out on the field just by watching how the batter has swung the bat. The player will intuitively know what direction to run in the moment the batter hits the ball. This kind of instinctive reaction is dependent upon the expertise gleaned through years of practice.<\/p>\n

An emergency responder to a roadside accident will assess the situation in split second to know what course of life-saving action to take. The decision on how to handle the emergency takes place so quickly that the responder is not consciously aware of the complex thinking process that just occurred. This intuitive response is utterly dependent on practice and experience. The long time salesperson will \u201cknow\u201d from the moment they meet a perspective customer if he or she is a \u201creal\u201d buyer or is just shopping them. The new salesperson in the same situation will have no idea.<\/p>\n

These instantaneous reactions of \u201cexpert intuition\u201d occur more often the older we get due to our stored knowledge and life experience. In earlier cultures the elders were revered for their wisdom. People may not have understood what was happening neurologically in the brain, nor called it \u201cexpert intuition\u201d but, they knew enough to realize the elders had more life experience and therefore more wisdom to share.<\/p>\n

Perhaps our culture we will someday stop glorifying youth and return to the practice of honoring their older citizens for their wisdom. Until that day, we can \u201cwink,\u201d call it \u201cexpert\u2019s intuition\u201d and attribute it to those \u201cover 40\u201d in our society.

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2808"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2808\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2908,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2808\/revisions\/2908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
