Brain Games

Did the Crossword and Soduko pages.  Pretty easy. 

Win these!

This page has contests you can enter but all are in the U.S.   There are coupons on this page also but those are also U.S. only.  Come on!!  I want to play too!!

I did in the spirit of it go to Chapters.  I had two gift certificates (that's like coupons)  and bought three books.    There was an on line survey form with a chance to win $1000.00  I filled it out.  Didn't win  :(

This is the book I went for and am in the process of reading:
Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
by Malcolm Gladwell.
 I am simplifying it when I say it is about decision making processes and results based on gut reactions, intuition, and studies and stories about people who follow it.
I have been struggling with the fact that I seem to trust my intuition a lot when it comes to jobs, large purchases, houses, business decisions, etc.  I am an artist I believe that working intuitively is a real asset.  I of course use my knowledge, skills and thinking too.  However some of the greatest results come from just going for it.   I can confidentially say that trusting gut reactions has generally given positive results in many areas of my life. 
When it comes to personal matters I am more self doubting and use what I presume is more logic and thinking, and only later do I realise that if I would have gone with my intuition (initial gut reaction) I would not have had so many problems.
  So I decided to do some reading and this book came up when I googled following your instincts.
I will comment further when I have finished reading the book.  Which won't be long!!  My intuition says "Go for it!"  :)
