Would you listen to your heart or your brain?

[Kindofweird]

I always listen to my brain cause heart's choice usually left me heartbroken...

[MorticiAddams]

I think a person needs to cultivate a balance between the two.
Yes, it's true that you cannot always trust your feelings to guide your decisions, as they're based on little more than the impulses of the endocrine system. But conversely, it's not good to logic one's self into a situation that you have no passionate engagement in.
I prefer a two step method. First, I assess the wisdom of a decision. Then after I've made the choice, I ask myself how that makes me feel. If there's no positive feelings at all about the choice, even mixed or bittersweet ones, then I start again and try a different solution.

[Kindofweird]

Yes, like 60 % brain and 40% heart

[MorticiAddams]

That's a pretty good blend!

My heart, but I've been heartbroken too

[Kindofweird]

@WhiteShoulder
I want to break the heads of people who broke your heart.
Not worth it for them. I can't do it if I want to. But I want.

[WhiteShoulder]

@1stranger thank you :-)

[WhiteShoulder]

@kindofweird thank you :-)

Listening to both is important. Very poor mental health can lead to heart issues (physically) and similarly, having a broken heart can lead to poor mental health.

I've had to undergo ECG monitoring and the doctors assume that it is related to mental health but it is a chicken and egg paradox!

Brain

[Kindofweird]

Same here

[razelove]

Neither, I follow my gut. Whatever my instincts tell me is usually right.. though sometimes they get overruled by my penis. If I feel like I can trust someone, I trust them until proven otherwise, if I feel like I can't, I avoid them and never let them see where I live. Life's been good to me so far, so I'm doing something right.

Maybe if my heart would talk to me I'd listen to it more.

I try to always listen to my brain but sometimes my heart wins

Depends on the situation.

I’m listening to my heart when I’m choosing a partner. I’m listening to my brain when it comes to thinking if it’s sensible to do certain things or to make decisions (about finances for instance).

In my experience both are right and wrong even working together.

Life is complicated.

[DizzyDesii]

Heart if its a relationship. Brain if its a job

[Agape93]

Depends

Depends on situation
