People want at all costs to make their brains work rather than their hearts. As if by being 100% pragmatic, they would be able to make the right decisions and thus enjoy a better life. However, silencing your feelings and not trusting your instincts could make you lose a big advantage, since your heart has the gift to guide you without you having to spend hours thinking. Moreover, in this article, we will present 3 reasons why you should listen to what your heart tells you.
"The heart has its reasons that reason does not know," we have heard this phrase many times, especially during our adolescence. Unfortunately, our current lifestyle and our tendency to control everything have made us forget what listening to our hearts could bring to us in our everyday lives. It is time to give back to our hearts the opportunity to express ourselves!
3 Reasons for listening to one's heart:
1 - It guides us in the face of unknown situations
When you are faced with a situation where you do not know the outcome, you sometimes have a strong but inexplicable feeling that overwhelms you and tells you what to do. In some cases this feeling is positive and you feel an unexplained joy that drives you to move forward and make a favorable decision about a given topic. But in other cases, it is more a feeling of discomfort, even fear, that invades you and makes you take precautions or refuse to see a particular person or continue in a specific project.
It is true that this sixth sense or instinct is more developed in some people, but that does not stop you from listening to yours, especially if you have logical data that reinforce even more what you feel.
2 - It gives us hope when we need it most
When you go through difficult or painful times, you sometimes let go and feel overwhelmed by all the negativity that suddenly fell on your life. You have the impression that the whole world is against you and you will not be able to escape. Then you begin to hear that little voice in your heart that reminds you of all the problems you have been able to solve with your strength of character and your goodwill. It encourages you to make even more effort and seek a new solution, it gives you hope and lets you glimpse the end of the tunnel.
Let yourself be guided by your heart, and let it give you the courage to get out of your depression to regain the urge to live.
3 - It draws our attention to our emotional needs
Logically, if you are healthy and you have a stable financial situation and a love life, you do not have to complain. But sometimes, despite all this, you feel a certain lack, a little something that makes your life lacking brilliance. You can not seem to be completely happy. In that case, look deep inside to find the answer. Let your heart tell you the way to happiness. Maybe you need to find the child that is in you, change your air, break your routine, or simply, less worry about what people may think of you.
A happy human being is the one who has found the right balance between what his reason dictates and what his heart breathes. Having each one's own way of evaluating and analyzing things and situations, silencing one for the benefit of the other is not a wise decision to make!
