Do Not Let the Mind Bully the Heart

Never let the reactions of the mind eclipse the feelings of the heart. In other words, anger, irritation and anxiety; are the minds reactions and helpful pointers to our actual feelings of disappointment, fear, loneliness, and feeling unheard etc. When we learn to express these primary heart feelings, we are free to feel and keep the heart open; but expressing a reaction always closes the heart because it’s not from the heart but from the minds primitive protective mechanism.-Atreya Thomas
