When people are stressed, they make poorer decisions.
Conversely, researchers have demonstrated that intuition is more than just a feeling. From a scientific standpoint, the “gut feeling” is real.

Furthermore, people can become “more adept at trusting their intuition when they use it more frequently over time.”
