Your Mind Reasons And Your Heart Knows
You find yourself in a tug of war between what your mind tries to impose on you and what your heart wants to feel. And then you are not sure what to do, are you guided by the emotions that spring from within you or do you slowly rationalize the situation?
The truth is that you would do anything to feel free and happy. You would be carried away without limits if you really knew that this is what you need. However, you don’t know. You have doubts that your heart takes you to a place where you will not suffer and that is why your mind acts to avoid it. Who am I listening to? You are wondering.
Well, it is beneficial for your future well-being that you listen to your mind and your heart. Yes, both. Both have things to tell you: each has its own characteristics and values to understand and act before the world.
What your mind has to tell you
When there is a conflict between mind and heart, many people try to position themselves. On the one hand, there are those who believe that reason is superior to feelings because letting ourselves be carried away by them makes us vulnerable. On the other hand, some believe that emotion is essential to be able to love others and love moves us.
The truth is that all are partly right. The human being is characterized by having reason and heart and both form a whole that cannot be divided. Separately, in fact, they are dangerous: the mind uses logic but forgets what you feel, the heart guides you but without control can make mistakes.
If you don’t know what to do, starting by listening to your head is a good option. First, because she is in charge of thinking, arguing and establishing good sense to your most intimate being. Second, because it is your mind that will put the grain of sanity that you may be missing.
What your heart has to tell you
However, if you have no choice but to tilt the scale a little more to one side, do not let your heart be the servant of your thought. Remember that logic is not always right and that acting without being in line with what you feel will make you fail. It is good that you listen to what he has to say to you.
It may have been attributed the property of being blind, and yet it is the part of your body that knows the most. Have you heard that reason ignores what the heart knows in advance? The heart knows above all about adrenaline, intuition, misery, love and strength. It is he who will give meaning to what you do, even if you think it does not have it.
Emotion is decisive in a rational process. In fact, they say that it is our feelings that mark the way, but that it is the head that chooses the best way to position ourselves in it.
Calm, ear, caution
Calm, listening and caution must be the bars of your movements. Everything you need to feel better and focus is within you. The truth is that surely there is some point where you agree with what confuses you. Especially keep in mind that you cannot predict what will happen to you, but you should not allow a decision to hurt you beforehand.
It consists of getting to harmonize that confusion in which you find yourself. You will achieve this by listening, establishing priorities and values that bring you closer to where you want to go. It will not do you any good to turn your back on your mind, because you will go without brakes under the circumstances. Nor does not attend to the heart, because then you will never understand why you are moving in one direction or another.
