Where did my wise mind guide go?

I seem to have lost my wise mind guide. It’s not easy to find balance and make decisions at times especially when I have strong emotional reactions to things outside of my control. When I locate my wise mind, that balance of emotion and reason, she helps guide me. I am calmer and more centered. Life becomes a little easier when I am not stuck in a negative emotionally reactive place. Those big emotions get in my way!

Wise mind involves intuition, a knowing, a sense that something feels right way down deep inside.

We all have a wise mind inside us. It is that place where emotion and reason over lap. Neither one alone is enough to produce intuitive wisdom. We need them both to work together.

When I ignore that wise voice inside I generally have regretted it. Things don’t turn out so well.

Using wise mind takes practice.

I keep learning to pause and listen and respond as my wise mind suggests. Sometimes I have to quiet the noise of my emotional self with a few deep breaths before I can hear what my wise mind suggests. I can’t hear that intuitive wisdom if my emotions are too intense. They over take me. And I can end up reacting emotionally rather than wisely. So I have to calm that emotion part of my brain first.

My wise mind is there to guide me. I’ve come to trust her to steer me in a productive direction too. She helps me take the next right step I need to take! Yours can too!
