What's more powerful — the heart or the mind?
Does the heart or the mind have more control over your day-to-day life?
When we think of the heart, we often think of emotions and feelings, and when we think of the mind, we may think of rational thoughts and logical arguments. But the two aren’t as separate as one might think!
Think of your brain as the hub of every thought and emotion you have — it’s both the mind and the heart of your body in many ways! So just imagine — if you can control the way your brain functions and feels, how would that change your life?
Would you start going after your dreams without holding back?
Would you stop living the past and start creating your future?
Would you live a happier and healthier life?
