I have lived by certain things in life that have never let me down. One of them is to follow my heart, follow 'the feeling' (Sounds very filmy, I know!) I'm a heart person by nature and I have never, in the worst of situations regretted it. Today was one of those days. I had, for the longest time thought of how sorted the 'head people' are. I have been on a mission to let my mind take over but it never really happened entirely.
If you feel that something's right, just go ahead and do it, if you feel like saying something just go ahead and say it. Instinct is sixth sense.I realised that if I want to develop it I gotta listen to it when it tells me something. I have to allow it to help me. I remember two instances when I hadn't and both came to bite me. Once you stop listening to it it stops telling. (I know I sound looney but I hope you understand!)
Today, it was a matter of a phone call. Something came over me and I just did it. My heart was beating like a hundred drums but it just felt right, my gut told me to just go ahead with it. (And trust me this was no ordinary situation, this was BIG). While on this very important phone call, there was something that stopped me from saying this one particular thing, something that told me to save it for when the time is right, now is not the time and I did. And again it just felt right. When I wanted to say it, I felt "no, not now." It was inexplicable as to why. There isn't any reasoning behind such feelings, and that's probably what dissuades us from listening to them, we're always looking for logic and reasons behind things, aren't we?
I am in no way denying the need for reasoning, all these things depend from situation to situation. We do need to find the balance between heart and mind. When things are inexplicable or you have fuzzy reasoning and you find no way out? All you have are your feelings to listen to and feelings are never wrong. Listen to them. If you ask me, they are the only real thing we have. Instincts, feelings are way too important than we think they are. Be honest with yourself about them and allow them to simply be. It feels good.
Today, I feel you John Mayer, I feel you!
"Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open"
P.S. It's funny how I have another blog titled "Mind over matter"! : P
