One of the regular conversations I have is about the heart and head connection, and the conflict that occurs when there is a disconnect. On the professional and intellectual side, we can be some of the smartest people then fall to pieces with affairs of the heart. It happens to everyone. We all experience instances of logically knowing something is wrong, but our heart and emotions override our head and logic. Our heart works to convince us it will be different this time while our head screams, you know how this will end, and the cycle starts all over again.
I’ve done the emotional shutdown and only applied logic. That did not work. I’ve also gone with my feelings and followed my emotions, and that did not work either. The outcome for both instances ends up with the same result, feeling conflicted. I try to see the feeling of being conflicted as a warning sign that my heart/head connection is out of balance. Being conflicted is a part of life, but if you are in a position where you feel conflicted more than balanced, listen and heed the warning signs. Moving on is not always fun, but it is necessary. That’s how we grow. As I heard years ago, every setback is a setup for a comeback.
