What to do when heart and mind go separate ways?

It is a known fact that the human race is superior to other species because of its finest anatomy. It is a work triangle of sorts between the heart, mind and body. An emotional balance between the heart and the mind proves beneficial for the functioning of a healthy body and happy life. Yet there are times when we suffer because of the constant fight between our mind and heart.

Imagine a conversation between the heart and the mind……

Heart: I can’t let go.

Mind: You fool, you will spoil everything with emotions.

Heart: I value love and bonding.

Mind: What value does such a bond hold when it will play havoc on me?

The heart wants to go left while the mind takes a right.

You can relate to this when a decision is to be made where the heart doesn’t want to let go of the emotions while the mind says it is logical to let go.

Sometimes it turns okay when you listen and follow the rhythm of your heartbeats. Whereas, sometimes the echoes in your brain make you choose the way to peace of mind.
