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 don’t know quite what to do, do you guide yourself by the emotions that arise from within or do you slowly rationalize the situation?

The truth is that you would do anything to feel free and happy. You would let yourself go without limits if you really knew that that was what you needed. However, you don’t know. You have doubts that your heart will take you to a place where you will not suffer and that is why your mind acts to avoid it. Who do I listen to? You may be wondering.

Well It is beneficial for your future well-being that you listen to your mind and your heart. Yes, both. Both one and the other have things to tell you: each one has its own and precious characteristics to understand and act in the world.

What your mind has to tell you

When there is a conflict between mind and heart, many people try to take a position. 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 that love moves us.

The truth is that everyone is 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 it 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 common sense to your most intimate being. Second, because It is your mind that will provide the grain of sanity that you may be missing.

What your heart has to tell you

However, if you have no choice but to tip the balance a little more to one side, do not let your heart be the servant of your thoughts. Remember that Logic is not always right and acting without being in line with what you feel will make you fail.. It’s good that you listen to what he has to tell 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 the reason ignores what the heart knows in advance? The heart knows above all about adrenaline, intuition, misfortune, love and strength. It is he who will give meaning to what you do, even if you think it doesn’t have any.

Emotion is decisive in a rational process. In fact, they say that It is our feelings that mark the path, but it is the head that chooses the best way to position ourselves on it.

Calm, listen, caution

Calm, listening and caution must be the measures of your movements. Everything you need to feel better and focus is within you. The truth is Surely there is some point where you agree with what confuses you. Especially keep in mind that you cannot predict what is going to happen to you, but you should not allow a decision to hurt you beforehand.

It consists of harmonizing 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 do you no good to turn your back on your mind, because you will go unchecked in the face of circumstances. Nor do you not pay attention to your heart, because then you will never understand the reason why you move in one direction or another.
