Life is a journey of decisions I must say. At every point in our lives, we are expected to make decisions and these decisions will either make us or mare us depending on the paths we choose.

Knowing how critical this situation is, it means we must be careful of the type of decisions we take because our life in every aspect is affected by these decisions.

What is your preference while making decisions, heart or mind?

This question is a dicey one and I must approach it with utmost sincerity. In making decisions, bothe the heart and mind should be applied. I believe that one cannot be used and the other left. The two are there to help us maximize them the most.

People say the heart is to emotions and the mind is to practicality. As much as that may sound very feasible, I don’t totally agree with it.

The heart is not all about emotional things mad there is an aspect of our heart which is our intuition which helps us know things and when I want to make decisions, I apply this part of my heart along side my head or mind.

I love the mind as it’s more practical and resonance. I make decisions with my mind, then check it with my spirit or my intuition to ensure that there is no restriction within me.

If so feel any resistance within my intuition, I would have to give that decision a second thought again to see if it’s really what is Isgould take

Do you think we need both in terms of making decisions? Describe reasons.

Yes, am of the opinion that we need both our heart and our minds to make decisions. There are some difficult situations that we would have to realy weigh the odds to know if we should proceed or not.

Lemme salt ate a practical example of my experience. I wanted to travel to a place outside town one evening. On a reasonable term, I’ve done that a couple of times and my mind was ok with it but my heart was telling me to shift the journey till the next day.

I didn’t listen to my heart, I followed my mind and that was how I got my self into serious problems. I entered the wrong bus and my phone was stolen and so was left stranded in the middle of nowhere in the night.

So I still think we should involve both when making decisions after all they are there to guide us.

Are you an emotional or a practical person in real life?

Am am both emotional and practical depending on the situation at hand. One thing I don’t try to do is to let my emotions becloud my sense of reasoning.

When I get overly emotional, I try not to make decisions at that moment until my emotions stabilize and I can be able to way options properly.

There’s a saying that you should not make decisions when you are angry or when your are overly excited. I tend to follow this advice and it has helped me most times. When am angry, I just keep quiet so that I don’t say the wrong things.

Do you have any suggestions for youth which one they should follow in their day-to-day lives?

My suggestion is to follow both. They are there to help us through life. Sometimes sour heart is right and sometimes is wrong. Sometimes our reasoning may be wrong too and sometimes right. So we have to embrace the two to make good decisions.

Moreover the wood of advice I dropped above can help our youths. Don’t make decisions when you are angry or when you are overly excited.

¡Saludos amiga!😊

Estamos en la misma sintonía porque, también pienso que una decisión se toma de manera sentimental y racional ya que, al emplear una sola postura nos puede arrojar un mal resultado y no es la idea.

Varias veces me sucedió que, decidía con el corazón y se aprovechaban de mi o, cuando decidí solo con la mente, me lastimé por lo tanto, aquí fue donde aprendí que la clave está en el equilibrio.

Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚

Thanks for the valid comments. Friend and success

Apreciado amigo. Excelente publicación. Así como tú, considero que debemos tomar decisiones objetivas pero sin dejar de escuchar el corazón que siempre nos dicta eso que está en lo más profundo nuestro ser y que permite que eso que llamas intuición, nos dirija hacia lo justo y verdadero. Te deseo éxitos y bendiciones

Thank you friend

Life's trip is specified by choices, forming our courses for much better or even worse. Stabilizing heart plus mind is essential; instinct overviews together with usefulness. Both are required; the heart's instinct and also the mind's reasoning deal understandings to browse intricate options. Overlooking either dangers unanticipated repercussions, as experience typically educates us.

Your are right. Thanks for visiting my blog and for the valuable commment.

Your perspective on the role of heart and mind in decision-making is insightful. Balancing emotion with rationality is crucial, especially in social interactions

When I get overly emotional, I try not to make decisions at that moment until my emotions stabilize and I can be able to way options properly.

This is so right in every shades of it. As a matter of fact, your emotional moment are best moments not to make decisions.

Hola, es cierto ambos actúan a nuestro favor para tomar las mejores decisiones, lamento tu mala experiencia, pero queda como aprendizaje para futuras acciones. Tus consejos a los jóvenes están bien enfocados. Éxitos

Assalam O Alaikum friend! As it is said earlier, at the moment of the primordial decisions we must be the most equitable possible, with the aim of finding the right path for our purposes. we need both our heart and our minds to make decisions. There are some difficult situations that we would have to realy weigh the odds to know if we should proceed or not. Best of luck my dear
