Maintaining Balance Between Head & Heart

Its a delicate balance that most of us fail to maintain.


In our interactions with others, we sometimes only use the head, i.e., my logic.  Yes, that does bring us to a logical level and enables us to understand the facts very clearly.  But if you keep myself limited only to the facts, you tend to forget to use your heart.  Then we are not available to the other person and fail to understand them.


So, what's the solution?

In order to be successful in all our interactions with others,  have the right balance between your head and my heart. See beyond the facts, say and try to listen and understand the other person too.  When you do this you will not hurt people with your attitude but will be able to maintain harmonious relationships.

Very well stated...this is so true..a balance of the heart and head..along with our souls...I totally agree...if only more would give it a try.

Thank you for sharing a very simple but very true and important thought with us.

Love and peace and let's stop the wars now! I have and will be dedicating my blog (for a while) to peace and love and to stop the wars now!

The solution can be put so easily in words but when it comes to life, it is a tough path to take.

Thanks for bringing it out though

Cheers!

For people like me who are born in the countries where battle never seems to cease, peace is a blessing that we don't think is possible for us to get in 100 years.

Rhiannon --> Thank you for your kind words, although I strongly believe we can have peace when we are at peace with ourselves.

Demystifying The 4:00 am Morning Routine

What happens when you get up early? That’s a question I have researched many times. I like getting up early and knowing that it does good for my body & mood; I get that extra strength to keep this habit. In this article, I explore some of the deeper mysteries of how the mind works when it is activated earlier than usual. Hope you feel as inspired reading it as much as I loved writing it. Making the morning routine To those who can get up early without setting alarm, I say you are blessed. Not many have that much of control over the self. To me, the greatest thing that made me develop this habit was reframing my idea of it. I had tried everything. From putting up a running gear in bed for the morning to setting puzzles as the alarm on the phone, I did it all. Some days I got up before the alarm even rang, but other days were a pain. I slogged out of bed, put down the alarm, and slept again. The intoxicating morning sleep had me in its ever-long grasps. Every night I wo
