SEC17/W2| While making decisions, what do you prefer to follow: heart or mind?
Dear friends,
I am Jyoti from India and I'm here going to participate in this SEC 17 Week2 contest : https://steemit.com/hive-120823/@meraindia/sec17-w2-or-while-making-decisions-what-do-you-prefer-to-follow-heart-or-mind hosted by #Incredible India Community
While making decisions, what do you prefer to follow: heart or mind? |
|---|
What is your preference while making decisions, heart or mind?
Mind is to dictate or guide us but heart is to roam and seeks to fulfill our desires. Your heart is always searching for temporary pleasure to make you happy. But the mind is subject to its conscience. Think about the consequences of an action. For example, if we want to buy a food and eat it, the mind thinks whether it is good for the body and suitable for our budget, but at the same time the heart is not like that, it is thinking how it will taste and will I be satisfied if I eat it.
Mind is the voluntary, conscious, and stable part of your decision-making capacity. It means that the mind coolly analyzes all the facts and comes to a rational, reasonable and conscious conclusion. The mind operates on facts, concepts and logic. Mindful decisions are based on what will bring you the most success, that is, the decision to achieve your long-term goals and desires. Success envisioned by the mind is stable, secure and definite.
The heart is the involuntary, subconscious and unstable part of your decision-making ability. The heart does not analyze facts or take opinions into account.
So the decisions taken by the mind are decisive and favorable to us and do not cause any after-effects. At the same time the decisions taken by the heart are for temporary happiness and have consequences. So, I listen to the mind.
Do you think we need both in terms of making decisions? Describe reasons.
When a decision is made, I think about it for a long time from all angles and perspectives. If you only follow the heart, it will lead to emotion, passion, etc. If you only listen to the mind, it will make you materialistic, insensitive, critical. Conscience is the inner sense of right and wrong in any situation. So, it's as simple as asking yourself what's right and what's wrong, and listening to that gut feeling that says don't do it, that's the right path.
The aim should be to use the mind in general to arrive at a preliminary decision, and to modify the decision slightly using the desires of the heart. This will help remove all self-doubt. If you rely heavily on just one of these two, a little hesitation and fear will eat you up after making the decision. So all decisions should be taken with a balance of input from both heart and mind.
Are you an emotional or a practical person in real life?
I used to be very emotional till my marriage and after marriage and having children I became very practical because being emotional gives us a lot of disadvantages, being emotional makes us blackmail easily and also makes us give up on a lot of things.
Being a practical person can have many advantages. Practitioners are often good problem solvers because they focus on finding realistic and effective solutions to challenges. They are organized and efficient, which leads to increased productivity and success in various areas of life. Practical people are often trustworthy.
But being practical should be within a limit. If we are too practical in family friendships etc. we will lose friendships and belongings rather than wealth. So even if we are practical, certain percentage we should be emotional as well.
Do you have any suggestions for youth which one they should follow in their day-to-day lives?
Because I am a mother and my two children have passed the teenage stage. I feel qualified to give this advice. Also, I feel successful in my own life and on Steemit. So I think my advice will be accepted by today's generation. So, what I say to the younger generations is to make a list of all that your heart desires. At the same time, plan mentally and pave the way to succeed and achieve it. Because your goal is to satisfy your heart. At the same time examine with your mind whether the desire of your heart is right or good and act upon it.

Making decisions is really a very important thing we must always consider because whether we like it or not, we are always a product of our decisions and so we must be very careful that we don't make the wrong decisions but always the right decisions. When making decisions also, there are a whole lot of things I strongly believe we should always put into consideration which ranges from considering the future and not the present now. Whenever we make decisions, we should make sure that we look at the future of those decisions and not the now.
Now back to which one we should use to make decisions, actually I believe we can make use of anyone. There are situations I have make use of the heart to make decisions and I end up making right decisions and there are instances I have make decisions using the mind and I end up making right decisions also. Anyone that we choose, one of the most important is that we always make the right decisions. Also one of the things I also believe strongly is situations can really influence us to make decisions.
There are some situations that we are in that we might be demanded to make rush decisions. In that kind of situation, we can actually make use of the heart much more than the mind. And also there are some situations that warrant us to think dip, in that kind of situation, we can make use of the mind to make decisions. So when using either the heart or the mind, it actually varies on the type of situations we are in presently at that particular time actually. Also we must make sure that we understand ourselves. If you are the emotional type, make use of the heart to make decisions and if you are the logical type, then make use of the mind to make decisions. At the end of the day what really matters is making the right decisions which I strongly believe both the heart and the mind can help us to achieve that actually
¡Holaaa amiga!😊
La mente y el corazón siempre deben estar unidos porque, ellos a su manera saben orientarnos a tomar las mejores decisiones ya que, decidir, no es una tarea tan sencilla y, a pesar de que cada decisión siempre va a estar condicionada a una situación, ambos elementos se adaptan a ello inmediatamente para ayudarnos a comprender.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
Both the mind and the heart according to what I believe can make right decisions but most of the time I tend to prefer to follow the mind much more than the heart
Mind is also a most important thing in our body the heart circulates the blood and search for temporary happy. Due to that mind have to take a decision in every situation so that it works so hard. Yes heart' is only wishing new and new but mind will have to take a good and correct decision. We have to satisfy any one thing and accept one thing. Everytime emotional is getting weaker. So we have to be practical. Yes we have to create a bucket list and follow the procedure to achieve it.

When making decisions, it is important to consider both the heart and the mind. The heart represents our desires and emotions, while the mind represents logic and reason. It is essential to take a balanced approach, considering the long-term consequences of our actions while also listening to our inner desires. By finding a balance between the two, we can make decisions that are both fulfilling and logical.
Absolutely right , The aim should be to use the mind in general to arrive at a preliminary decision, and to modify the decision slightly using the desires of the heart. This will help remove all self-doubt. Best wishes
