Head vs. Heart







We have all been there...you've had to deal with a situation where your head and your heart just don't agree. If you've never had this situation...you are a robot.

I wish I had some crazy, unbelievable story for you right now where I was torn between what my heart wanted and what my head was telling me to do, well spoiler alert, I don't.

Maybe I have had too much coffee this morning already...but my brain went into overdrive, why do we have situations where our mind and heart cant agree?

Are you a heart follower or do you listen to your brain...I would like to say that I am level headed and make smart decisions, thought out plans about why I do what I do..but I don't I always make decisions on my feelings instead of knowledge or experience.

The hardest battle: "what I know" vs "what I feel" . . . These are two VERY different things.  "What I feel" wins out most times because emotions are SO strong . . . We get the two mix up and we rationalize things from one category to the other.  What can we do to discipline ourselves?


Is this something you can change? Or is this just who we are? How did we become this way...my mother is one of the most logical people I have ever met. I have seen her in SEVERAL situations that are for lack of better words..crappy. Yet she ALWAYS remains calm comes up with a plan and everything ends up fine. When I am in situations like these all I do is cry and call my  mom...

Don't even get me started on the other influences that make our decisions for us...friends, vodka, certain body parts...

Why do we let these things make decisions for us...who are we supposed to listen to...when it comes down to head vs. heart it seems like a loose-loose. Like when people give you that advice what does your heart want? what is the right decision? and then they really throw you for a loop what does your gut tell you?  Who invited gut to the decision party?!

I am by no means a super religious person, but I do believe in God, I believe he has a plan for everyone (or at least that is what I am banking on!) With that being said I always believe that things will work out no matter what..but doesn't that leave you with a hint of regret...the age old question... what if??

Can you see why this baffles me? This post could go on and on because I am so intrigued by which part of your body you are supposed to listen to. I am only in my mid-twenties... I have years and years and years of difficult questions ahead of me. I am a planner, I need a game plan at all times..and part of being a planner is knowing what to do when terrible or unpredictable situations happen...well what the heck..what part of the body is my go to..my head, my heart, my gut?!

Well my head is telling me to end this post before I start to bore you all to death, my heart is telling me to continue until I find an answer, and well my gut is telling me to get out of bed and make some breakfast.

Until next time...
