Which is better to listen to – your heart or your brain?
Which is better to listen to – your heart or your brain?
I choose brain. Emotions can really cloud good judgment. The best is when you make a good choice and your heart gets rewarded by it.
Ex. People (girls and guys) should stop choosing to date people that aren't nice to them. Our hearts can tell us how much we care about them and how we'll be so sad if we lose them. Meanwhile our brains are screaming that this person is not good news. When you choose to date someone great, your heart will thank you for it.

That's a hard one...
Always follow your heart and you might end up in sticky situations. Emotions can make you do stupid things...
but always follow your brain and the risk is you might end up pretty unhappy, regretting many past decisions.
I tend to always consider both when making a decision. And in some cases, it's pretty obvious wether to use your brain or heart.

I think it really depends on the situation. Sometimes its good to listen to your brain. But your heart is you at your core. Its you being completely real with yourself. Your heart cannot deny the things your brain tries to... and your brain can't trick your heart... so I follow my heart and even if I get hurt, once I get past it, I'm free and clear of what-ifs...

The heart thinks in the moment but the brain thinks ahead.
If you'll constantly be living in the moment, there will come a time when you will not make it in to the future - something you can only do if you think through every passing moment, instead of jumping in to them, hoping that none of them won't be a pit to fall in to.

Your heart will lie to you. My heart has wanted some of the worst things. But the heart is necessary. If you can combine your heart, brain, and instincts, you will find the man for your life. If any of those things is in disagreement, then it is the wrong choice.

Follow your heart into a relationship but follow your head out of a relationship.

generally your brain. it's more rational and rational thought typically keeps you out of trouble
however i think at times you do have to let your heart decide. but even then it should be balance of following the heart while the brain leads to you make the decision after careful consideration - 16.1K opinions shared on Other topic.
I feel it's best to listen to both, because both will have valid feelings and points of view you need to be logical but also emotional, especially when dealing with things regarding boyfriends/girlfriends and the like.
But this more or less varies depending upon the situation and who or what your dealing with. -
I hate these kind of predicaments. I dont like how my heart leads to me to a blind fall but i dont like how my head assume a lot of things too. Honestly both have to work together to get what we want for ourselves. If my heart wants more than my head then no. If my head wants more than my heart then no. I usually find a way what my heart n my mind wants :).

"Your gut is smarter than your head" -me
Brain = Logic
Heart = Emotion
Gut = Intuition/Instinct
You never actually forget anything that you experience, but your memory recall might be poor. That's when your instincts take over and give that little "feeling" or voice in the back of your head, just a "knowing" of what is right or wrong. -
Both butif I had to choose, I'd chose my heart. If we all only used our brain, only used logic and not feelings, we would be a cold race. People starving? Our brains would just shrug it off, saying you are well feed and that is all that matters. Children homeless and cold? So what, your brain would say, you are home and warm.
As humans, we are lucky we have both hearts and brains, logic and emotion. We as a species just need to find a balance between the two. -
Your brain.
Listening to your heart = Not always thinking straight, and doing what feels right, in the moment.
Listening to your brain = Thinking logically, weighing the pros and cons, and coming to a decision based on those pros and cons. -
Both, but when my logic prevails, it usually tells me Not to do something, therefore I have less to remember than when I follow my heart and it takes the wheel. Good or bad, I usually remember the heart!
-
Your brain is what gets you into trouble , your heart is what gets you out of trouble. Your brain is always harnessing and embracing thoughts good or bad. You're heart is always making you feel bad when you make a bad judgement.. Follow your hearts direction and live better.

I would say your brain. Your heart might deceived you and sometimes it leads to bad decisions.
When you use your brain, the chances of making a good and smart decision are high. - 928 opinions shared on Other topic.
brain the heart doesn't mean anything and it lies way to much for you too even think about trusting it.
-
Brain please it's good to listen to ur heart too but usually it'll get u in trouble so try to listen to it but also use ur brain and listen to it first
-
I listen to my heart more than my head, which is a nice thing but it's not necessarily the best thing. Like everything in life there has to be a balance.
-
Your brain. I can't tell you the number of times I've let my heart take over and pull me into an endless pit of disaster, wishing I'd used my brain to think things over. The heart wants what it wants and can lead you to things or situations you'd never imagine yourself in.

Brain. Your heart can make you do crazy things and your brain will advise you against it. Always listen to reason.
-
Brain for shit I dont give a fuck about, thinking with my heart, means I give a fuck, and if I give a fuck. It must mean something, so I don't ignore it.

Your brain, because it shows reasoning, which is important when it comes to decision making, and about anything else.
Our professor told us emotions destroy thinking/logic, hence when emotions take over, we can not think properly. -
emotions are nice but just look at guys and then at girls, guys are not ruled by their emotions, they are usually much more logical, stronger mentally and dont cry or get annoyed as fast as girls, and they can realize whats right and wrong.
not to say that girls can't, they can indeed, however they prove over and over again that once they get slightly emotional about something, be it love, fear or anything really they tend to fk up pretty badly. -
What your mind says, or else you'll probably regret it if you don't listen to your logic/gut feeling.
