Happiness- A balance between heart and mind

 

Happiness- a balance between heart and mind

Hello everyone, today we will discuss about heart, mind and happiness

Mind, as told by medical science, is the center of the nervous system, receives data from various organs, coordinates movements......and performs numerous tasks that I can't even remember now; but generally we presume mind as that organ which reminds us of our RESPOSSIBILITIES.

Meanwhile, the heart is one of the most important organs of our body, in fact, heart itself is most important one. It pumps blood, supplies oxygen, etc etc. Apart from this physiological work, heart is known as that specific organ of body which have 'FEELINGS' and 'EMOTIONS'; we even have numerous idioms related to this concept such as - from the bottom of heart, wear heart on sleeves & so on. 

Now remember sometimes we have a hanging sword on our head and are required to work. We tend to stay awake whole night working, we get this much stressed that we can't even focus properly. In such situation, we even forget about our meals. During such circumstances, where, the health of body escapes from our memory, taking care of the soul takes a backseat. And this will affect us in long term adversely.

Now let's take another situation when we(our heart) want to have fun. Even if we have an exam tomorrow we are curious about what's going to happen in the next episode of our favorite web series or we want to go party with our friends. If we go out to have fun, then we will waste our time and if we don't then we won't be able to focus properly, thoughts of party will again and again strike our mind. 

So, sometimes our heart takes the upper hand and other times our mind (gives us stress of work). We can stay happy if we will follow our heart only, but its practically impossible. We can't be having fun 24-7; to live, to survive in today's world we need to work. But what to do when our work dominates our life?

So we should have 'a balance between our heart and mind'. Make your heart and mind go together as bestfriends. When heart gets fluctuated, let its buddy (mind) address it and tell it- 'we need to do this task, its urgent. We can have fun later on, and if everything gone well then immediately after finishing this task'.  And on other days,  if you feel situation getting workaholic, then give your heart an opportunity to show its talent. As our heart gets diverted easily, so one should leave everything at once, and listen to our favorite song or have  favorite food as 'food for the body is not enough, that’s why we need food for soul ' or we can just enjoy the peace. Even if done for few moments, such tasks make our heart pleased and joyous; relax our body and improve our focus and one is ready to work again, and this time more enthusiastically.
