Which do you listen to the most: your heart or your brain?

Her heart acted and she gave to her children when she shouldn't have. Many times. In drug abuse, spousal abuse, any kind of abuse, sexual abuse, we know when it's wrong, we know we've been abused. We know when we see people abuse. And it's easier looking on the outside than living that life. So oftentimes in relationships, when people are battered, they go back

Probably not as much as I should be, maybe not in a place where I think I ought to be, but I've gotten there more over the past five or six years, and I think that's to my benefit, where I'm not completely logical about how I think about things and thinking more on feelings and emotions and having those play a role in how I proceed, as opposed to just being very cold and unfeeling, which I hope I've never been

But feelings, as far as feelings and things like that, when we look at the heart, that's just risks that we got to take. It's just a risk. And the mind helps us kind of think about those risks if we listen. And sometimes that's why when it comes to different things and our friends, we can give people advice and we talk from experience and different things that we want or that we dealt with

Really interesting question. I have always said that I am wise yet illogical. And I stand by that statement because I am highly illogical. So I just got to rule out the brain right away. I'm always a very emotional person. I follow my intuition. I follow what I feel, which isn't always the right thing to do, because sometimes I. I feel. Sometimes I want the wrong things. But that's the cost of following your heart. Sometimes the heart wants what?

You. Thanks so much for responding. I'm like you. Yeah, we say things, and then our heart just takes over. And it could be a good thing, it could be a bad thing, but, you know, it's all life. Thanks so much for responding

My brain take over in a lot of areas, so I can be the best I can be and be the best advocate for my students in a manner that works for them and for the other members of the IEP team. Since on a lot of situations, I'm dealing with adults from different walks of life and I need to make sure that everything works all together for the students. So I hope that makes sense. And thank you for this. It was really great food for thought. Bye

Hi, Ms. Leanne. Thank you so much for commenting and partaking. As an empath myself, I definitely understand because we do feel things and sometimes we feel too much and it gets a little bit overwhelming. So we have to really separate. Am I feeling this or are they feeling this? That's the thing that I run into with that. But, but definitely, I definitely understand where you're coming from

But depending on what the situation is, the heart would rule and then sometimes the brain would rule. Because if it's something that involves intelligence, something that involves being smart, using your brain, I don't think the heart has much influence in that department when it comes to trying to figure certain things out. The heart plays a role when it comes to feeling and caring. And oftentimes they'll work in tandem if it requires figuring something out

Hey, mo, thanks so much for responding, as always. Yeah, I think we all listen to both. I was actually having a conversation with my friend tonight, and I was talking to her about a couple of things as far as the mind and the heart. And I was talking about how my mind was there in my last relationship. My mom was there, but my heart just kept on blinding me
