In life we often get into the habit of making our decisions solely from the more masculine energy of the head or by the feminine energy of the heart space. Rarely are we engaging both when we sit with a situation or circumstance.
We forget to check in with our feelings about our process and we make a decision that intellectually might seem good but in fact could be completely out of alignment with our heart. This is very connected to a trauma response within decision making, where we only use our intellect and never check in with our heart. On the flip side, there can be decisions we make only from our heart and do not think through logically.
The best decision making happens when both are in alignment for our highest good. That can only be when we engage both of these energies. When aligned they are very anabolic in nature. It takes both logic (head) and intuition (heart) to come into alignment with your highest soul choices.
Let’s explore both of these energies:
Head/Masculine Energy –
- Logic and decision making
- Singularity of purpose and direction
- Solution-based thinking
- Controlling and pursuing
- Competition and ambition
- Strategy and rationality
- Striving and reasoning
- Linear process
Heart/Feminine Energy –
- Intuition
- Compassion and grace
- Emotions and feelings
- Trusting in natural outcomes
- Connection and peace
- Inner Truth resides
- Nurturing
- Flowing process
At the end of any decision when we are looking to establish clarity and balance, it requires us to possess both of these energies to achieve ultimate balance. To problem solve from the intellect of the head and then drop into the heart space to see how it feels and what our intuition is telling us, brings about decisions that align with who we really are.
You will feel more empowered and have a stronger sense of clarity when you make decisions by using both your head and your heart. This helps you to access the higher levels of anabolic energy and creates solutions that are balanced and aligned for your life.
We are here to help you navigate how to engage both head and heart so you can feel at peace when making decisions.
