Sometimes They Seem The Same
Apr 18, 2025
Sometimes they seem the same.
And they’re not.
Instinct is inborn — something we just do.
No need to learn it. No need to think 🧬
Intuition is shaped by experience.
It’s unconscious pattern recognition - a quiet nudge from everything we've lived 🧠
Here’s how they move differently:
Instinct is a reflex
Intuition is a reaction
Instinct is biology
Intuition is wisdom
Instinct is automatic
Intuition is a choice
Instinct is primitive
Intuition is perceptive
Instinct kicks in
Intuition kicks around
Instinct avoids risk
Intuition weighs risk ⚖️
Instinct is protection
Intuition is direction 🧭
Instinct is loud
Intuition is quiet
Instinct shouts “move!”
Intuition whispers “maybe…”
Instinct is fast-twitch
Intuition is slow-burn 🔥
Instinct reacts to threats
Intuition reacts to vibes
Instinct keeps you alive
Intuition guides how you live 🌱
We need both.
The real power?
🎯 Knowing which one you’re hearing — and when to listen.
Right now, both my instinct and intuition agree:
It’s time for us to connect.
