Heart and Head

Two different parts of our person and separated not just physically.

Many times our heart and our mind, mark different directions, and even opposite, and so, to which one should we listen to and obey?

Should we do this that seems logical and others recommend to us from a rational point of view, or is it right to follow our heart and listen to this internal voice which asks to us for being brave to do something unexpected, new and maybe risky?

Without realizing, we put in the plane of decisions two opposite points, where, to chose one of them means implicitly to refuse the other one. But, not everything is black or white, yes or no, now or never…

To feel and to think, two innate and unconscious actions that nobody teaches us how to deal with, simply, they are just inside us, exerting a powerful influence in our lifes, in the quality of our lifes. And, however, we don´t give to them the importance we should, maybe because no one told us that if we do not control our thoughts, they will control our feelings.

Because it happens, that these two elements are interconnected in the way that everything I think about, consciously or not, it affects to how do I feel, at the same time that, my mood, the way I feel, affects to my thoughts, to the quality of my thoughts.

If we just think, ignoring our feelings, we experiment the frustration which appears when things are not as they should be. This is something really common, in our mind we visualise the ideal situation, the perfect result and we create a fake image of circunstances that make us feel happy, but this happiness disappears as soon as the reality is showed as it is.

If we just feel, and we do no think about the consequences of being carried along, without considering the effects that our actions can cause, we will make the same mistakes many times and we could not understand why things are not as we want.

In conclusion, the solution is to learn how to use the benefits of both parts, making that the effect they cause in our lifes is the best possible.

That is why, I opt for finding the balance, connecting these two opposite points, looking for their similarities and creating a new point of certainty, security and confidence.

I decide to feel the thoughts and to think about the feelings.
