the heart vs the head

To quote my best friend today, "for once in your life can you just go with it and not overanalyze it?" First of all, only a best friend can say that. And second, she's right. While my analytical skills and my ability to see things from multiple perspectives serves me in many ways - in my work, in my ability to communicate, in my problem solving / planning skills, it doesn't serve me when it comes to matters of the heart.

So I'm adding an intention to my 2015 goals - in addition to this being the year of being OPEN it's also going to be the year of letting my heart do much more of the "talking" or should I really say "feeling." What could happen if I release the thought and just listen to my heart and body? Recently I've gotten a glimpse of how that feels from someone I've met that's caused my heart to more than flutter. And I'm seeing every time I let my head start getting ahead of things and leading the way it gets complex again. Versus just following the course - no matter how uncharted it is - just being open to the uncertainty and remaining open all the way into the open road.

It's like I can't see too far down the open road but the feeling I'm getting and what all my senses are telling me is it's going to be the most beautiful scene ever - so worth the journey. I just have to stay the course and keep driving into the unknown and then and only then will I ultimately drive right into the most picturesque scene. The kind of scene that's tranquil and grounding because it's so damn natural and comfortable while also being one of the most beautiful and amazing things you've ever felt in your life. The moment when you realize your entire body feels something it's never quite felt while your face hurts because you can't stop smiling. The moment you realize by simply trusting the uncertainty and giving yourself fully despite of it just brought you the very thing you've been waiting for your whole life.

So tonight I'm listening to my heart, connecting to what I feel and envisioning what I sense will be available to me if I can continue to navigate my own uncharted journey with a level of openness, curiosity and faith. And it feels amazing.
