Head Vs. Heart: A Myth.

-


 

In this blog, we will discuss the myth we all know that our head and our heart want and work in the opposite way, but in fact, they both are aligned and mend to be worked together and if we practice establishing cooperation between them we will live ecstatic life.

 It is common that we find ourselves in a turmoil of head vs heart, that our head leads us in one direction and our heart leads us in another, it feels like we are in a car with two drivers one is driving on the basis of emotions, feelings, and another one is working on the basis of logics, thoughts, practical approach doing what is right. But we forget that the car is the same that is You, which means you are one entity if you look at this carefully and with absolute sincerity, you will realize that the way you feel is the way you think and the way you think is the way you feel, everything is aligned.

 It is our mind only which has both the aspects that are emotional aspects and the logical aspects. Let us take an example – if you think about a person as a wonderful one, you will obviously feel loved and attached to them, and if you think that he/she is a horrible person you will feel nasty emotions towards them. It is not possible to feel the opposite about any situation, let us not make hard work of the simple aspects of life.

The way you think is the way you feel, but thought and feeling seem to be different in our experience, why is this so?

Because thought has a certain clarity, and certain agility about it, whereas emotions take time it is slower than our thoughts and logic and fragile. Today you might feel loving towards a person and suddenly he/she does something hurtful you start thinking that the person is not a good person, but here our emotions are not ready to accept the fact that our head knows. Your head says he/she is a horrible person we should make distance yourself from them but your heart is not ready to process this feeling immediately. It struggles. It has a wider turning arc. Depending on the depth of your emotions, maybe it will take 3-4 days, or weeks, or months or maybe some years, depending upon your emotional capacity but eventually, it will turn around.

 It is not useful to create this conflict, Right?

Emotions are the juicier part of thoughts that have more depth, and more intensity. You enjoy its sweetness but sometimes we have to face the bitter and hard part also. Our emotions are not entirely steady, it chatters and goes this way and that way but it is less agile than thoughts.

 In this world, there is only 5-10 percent of people capable to generate the kind of thought that is so intense that there is no need for emotions. Other 90-95 percent of the population can only generate intense emotions because they have never done the necessary work for the alignment of their thoughts and emotions and never considered them as one.

 So, it is best to not create polarities within yourself, that make for civil war. Thought and feeling are not different. One is dry another one is juicy. Enjoy both consider them as you and as one works for the friendship of both your drivers only you will be able to enjoy Life and remain joyous and peaceful. If you are an emotional person, accept your emotions, be gentle to them allow them to take their space and time, and train your thinking brain to cooperate with them.

 Hope you liked this blog as this is one of the biggest realizations of my life, I will come up with one more such topic next week and will try that you also can relate to my blogs and feel connected to my writings.

Thank you for reading, I come up with weekly blogs, every Saturday!

Be gentle to you.

 It is easy to spend much of your days beating up on yourself for past mistakes, we analyze that relationship that failed and relentlessly review everything we did wrong. Once and for all stop being so hard on yourself, you are human being and human beings are designed to make mistakes, as long as you don't keep making the same errors and have the good judgment to let your past serve you, you will be on the right track, accept them and move on as Mark Twain wrote " we should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; least we will be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. it will never sit down on a hot stove lid again- and that is well, but it will never sit down on a cold lit anymore." Realizing that we all make mistakes and that they are essential to our growth and progress is liberating. we lose the need to be perfect and adopt a saner way of viewing our lives, we can begin to flow through life the way a mountain st...

Three primary forms of Happiness.

 Eric Greitens says that there are three primary forms of happiness;  The happiness of pleasure, The happiness of grace, and The happiness of excellence.  He compares them to the primary colors, the basis for the entire spectrum. The happiness of Pleasure is largely sensory, it's a good meal when you are hungry, the smell of the air after it rains, waking up warm, physical touches basically any pleasure you are getting through your sensory organ. The happiness of Grace is gratitude, spirituality, prayer, religion, or anything that includes inner joyous state, it's taking inventory of what you do have. It is when you speak to something greater than yourself, expressing humility then there is The happiness of  Excellence, the kind of happiness that comes from the pursuit of something great, not the moment you arrive at your desired destination, but the process of falling in love with the path you have taken. It is meaningful work. It is flow. It is the purpose that sea...

Unlearn to New learn.

  “ The illiterate of the future are not those who can’t read or write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ” Alvin Toffler Learning something, if you’re actually interested in it, is pretty much always something enjoyable. Learning some things takes longer than others. Unlearning, however, is something quite different. You might make a mistake for thinking it means knowledge just disappearing from your memory. But it’s not that. Unlearning is challenging and deconstructing things that are embedded in your way of thinking, acting and reacting. It means moving on from the previous ideas, beliefs, assumptions, etc., should be completely removed for the new one to flourish. They cannot overlap, just as one must remove all of the old roots before planting new flowers. The Learn, Unlearn and Relearn Cycle They talk about unlearning in psychology in terms of letting go of unhelpful beliefs and negative behaviours. The neuro educators might call it  rewiring , but everyo...
