Expert Answer

Just practice making any decision. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. When you start practicing, that muscle gets a little bit stronger and you start to rely on your intuition a little bit more. Ultimately, you also learn that nothing is irreversible

Question

What is the purpose of reasoning skills?

Community Answer

Reasoning is required to make a lot of decisions. For example, if you have to choose between eating cake or eating fruit, you might use reason to determine that the cake is not good for the diet you're on, so you should choose the fruit instead.
