How to Follow your Heart?

Do you want to follow your heart but your mind is working as an obstacle? Are you the one who feels uncertain, uncomfortable and confusion spreads everywhere when thinking of following your heart? Do not worry it is perfectly normal to feel this way; it is quite common to see these symptoms when one starts following their heart.

These are just few signs showing you that you are moving in the right direction. This happens because your mind and body are trying to make adjustments to this new way of living. It is quite a common problem these days that people say they want to follow their heart but it’s too hard. The problem is that mind wants a proof that heart-centred living works. But there is another problem, how will you get the proof until you start following your heart.

In the starting you will feel a bit weird and awkward, as something new is happening but once you start following your heart, the path will automatically be cleared. And after that your mind will start trusting your heart.

When there is a strife going on between heart and mind, people tend to listen to their mind. The reason behind it is that they feel more safer doing it and also it makes more sense logically. You need to understand that this sense of comfort and safety is an illusion. Have a look at your past and you will realise that following your mind has not helped you much in getting what you truly want from life. People are proud of this impeccable logic but after a point in life you realise that it is miserable to lead a life based on only logic.

The heart is connected to much more bigger and powerful than us. We may call it unconscious, the spirit, higher self, god or the universe. The label is not important rather what it produces in your life is important.

People overlook the message provided by the heart as they look in the wrong direction. It is just like that if you will focus on the ground, you are bound to miss the birds flying. One should keep his eyes open and focus should be wide as no one knows where your heart is planning to nudge you.

The simplest way of following the heart is by simply getting emotions and feelings. This does not meant that you need to kill your brain rather what we are talking about is more balanced approach. The mind and the heart should be able to work as a team rather rivals. And this will start happening once you let yourself follow your heart, the mind will see the results and rest will happen automatically.

You just need to take the initial to start the process of faith. We are taught since childhood that we should know everything before we enter into any venture. The whole life is spent avoiding the unknown but the truth for the fact of matter is that we do not need to know everything to know enough.
