We spend a good part of our day stuck in our heads, navigating all the stories and mental chatter that arise during our daily experiences. We are also conditioned to go about our day, especially our workday, concealing a part of our true self — whether because we are trying to fit in, avoid judgment, or because we’ve been programmed to believe, we should only show certain parts of ourselves in certain situations.

So that brings us back to these two age-old questions that plague so many of us:

  • How can I express my authentic self more fully?
  • How do I transcend the ceaseless narratives and racing thoughts that occupy my mind?

What if, instead of dissecting our every action and wrestling with these questions through the lens of our intellect, we took a moment to tap into a different wellspring of wisdom – our hearts?

Consider this challenge for today

Before embarking on a new task or stepping into any situation, especially ones that invoke apprehension, pause and ask yourself, “What does my heart say?”

Ask it again.

“And what does my heart say?”

The human heart is more than a mere muscle pumping blood; it serves as a gateway to intuition, the superconscious, and the essence of our soul. It holds insights that elude the grasp of our logical minds.

Ask it repeatedly, quietly to yourself.

“What does my heart say? And what does my heart say?”

Resist the urge to overthink or analyze. Just listen.

The heart communicates in whispers, not shouts. It may manifest as a subtle feeling, a gentle pull, or a quiet knowing. Even if an immediate response eludes you, the act of posing the question activates your intuition, leaving the channel open for insights to emerge later.

In a world enamored with perpetual movement and rapid decision-making, inundated with information every second, connecting with your heart offers a return to the authentic core of your being. Think of it as a subtle recalibration throughout the day, aligning your actions and experiences with the truth of your authentic self.

So if you want to quiet all the noise in your mind and around you and infuse more authenticity into your life, start by getting out of your head and into your heart.
