Find out what drives you, feelings or a cold mind

Only a fool throws words to the wind, breaks down on loved ones and commits rash acts. A wise man knows, How to Manage Your Emotions and Mind so that they are in balance. This is a great art that sometimes you have to learn all your life.



But first you need to determine what dominates your life: mind or emotions? To do that today, I suggest you take a simple picture test. And then talk about it in more detail.

The picture test works very simply. You need to look at the image and determine what you saw first. In this case, it may be elephant or wooden houses. And then I suggest you find out which is more prevalent in you: emotions or reason?



So, if you see an elephant first, your mind and rationality always win. In any incomprehensible situation, you are guided by logic, throwing aside your emotions. You can think analytically, anticipating the possible consequences of your actions. And it helps you avoid mistakes.



If you see wooden houses in the picture, you are governed by emotions, not reason. Some will say it interferes with normal life. Highly developed emotional intelligence has several advantages. For example, you have a great intuition and can read other people’s emotions. This often helps you in difficult situations.

One way or another, a skew in one of the possible sides never leads to anything good. Too emotional people are sometimes difficult to communicate with. The same goes for very rational people. After all, they always try to do the right thing, which can reach fanaticism.



We live at the level of feeling whether we want it. Everything that happens around us is first perceived from an emotional point of view. A man cannot control it. However, he can pass through the information received and decide what to do with it next.

This is where the struggle between mind and emotion begins. To learn how to balance between them, it is important to determine whether you need it at all. After all, there are many people who get along well with their cockroaches in the head. As long as they don't bother others, right?



But if you feel that there is a problem and it prevents you from living, you need to fight it. For example, overly emotional people need to learn to work with their experiences at the stage of their occurrence. Regular breathing practices often help.

If you feel that your emotions are out of control and begin to guide you, start breathing deeply. At this time, analyze what happened and what it could lead to if you do not calm down. Then it will be easier for you to make further decisions.



And if you, on the contrary, want to learn to feel the world around you more, then you need to create all the conditions for this. Fill your life with interesting new experiences. Do what you once thought was strange or unnecessary. After all, if you think about it, you can find meaning in any activity.

Too rational people need to find something for the soul. But this should not be another routine, but something truly diverse. Something that will make your life feel new. What do you think it might be?
