Your mind has a mind of its own, have you noticed?
It doesn’t necessarily pay attention to what your heart is feeling.
That’s because your mind has an agenda. Your heart does not.
When you speak your mind you risk losing your voice because the mind (the resident protector of the ego) likes to “mouth off.”
The mind likes to makes a point.
The mind needs to be right.
The mind rationalizes.
The mind judges.
The mind thinks it knows the truth and believes it has a right to speak it.
Your heart, on the other hand, doesn’t give a rat’s asterisk about any of the above.
When you close your eyes and speak from the heart, where all your hurt and pain and longing gets stored up whenever it feels ignored, only then do you have a chance of being heard.
When a woman wants to be heard she must let her heart do the talking.
She needs to close her eyes, turn off her mind (with all its grammatically correct sentences and well-placed punctuation marks!), and let her heart have the floor.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make sense to anyone.
It doesn’t matter if they say you don’t know what you’re talking about.
It doesn’t matter if he disagrees with you.
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to be your friend anymore.
This is between YOU and your HEART and your SOUL.
Your mind is not invited to this party.
When you speak from the heart, your voice is heard loud and clear. Even your own mind starts paying attention.
Only then can your mind be allowed to make decisions about what’s best for you.
Giving your heart the floor takes guts, GirlFriend. But here’s the thing about your heart: it always speaks the truth. Your truth. And that is what will ultimately set you (and your mind) free.
That kind of freedom only comes when we Woman UP.
