Intuitive Thought and Analytic Thought

While reading chapter 15, I was thinking about my decisions and the things that I did or made during my adolescent years that I came across intuitive and analytic thought. Intuitive thought is considered to be quick and powerful and it feels right. Analytic thought is an rational analysis of many factors. Some of the decisions I have made some decisions in my life that I have used both intuitive thought and analytic thought like the decision of putting my son up for adoption or keeping him. I didn't know I was pregnant and only had 2 days to decide what to do. I was extremely lucky to have the support and the help I did. I remember talking to a lot of people and trying to decide what the right thing to do was or the rational decision. I didn't have my dad around to talk to but when I fell asleep I knew he was there watching over me and making sure that I made the right decision. At first I chose to put my son up for adoption because I knew that I wanted him to have the best life in the world. I ended up getting my son back and yes its been hard and I have had to make some tough decisions like going to college after I graduated or work full time but I think over the past four and a half years I have done a pretty amazing job despite the fact that I am only 20 years old and a full time student. We all have to make decisions in our lives but sometimes the decisions we make aren't the right ones but we learn from those decisions.
