Heart Over Mind
Mindfulness Story:
He's using his head too much. It's working him up in a tizzy. He has anxiety through the roof.
He then looked at himself in a mirror. For the first time, he noticed that he has a heart shape outlined around his nose and eyes. At that moment it was as if the Universe was telling him to use his heart.
He always resisted it because of all the times he got the answer wrong when he used his heart on multiple-choice tests. Maybe it was because the test didn't matter and was relevant to the big picture.
Use your mind for the little stuff and your heart for the big stuff. Maybe that's it, he said. He shifted into his heart space and immediately felt calm. He liked living this way a lot better.
How do you live your life? Do you follow your heart or let your mind dictate your life?
