Heart & Brain – A Peculiar Couple

December 9, 2016 By Donna Caesar 1 Comment

When your heart and your brain aren’t on the same page, it can feel like the worst thing ever. How can you make a decision when your heart and your head want different things?

Nick Seluk, creator of “The Awkward Yeti” comic series, shows the tricky relationship of the dynamic duo. The escapades of Heart and Brain in Seluk’s comics often reflect his own experiences and will likely reflect some of yours too.

While the comics may at times poke fun at the internal decision-making process, underneath the jokes are important life lessons of which we could all use reminding. Only listening to one of them and ignoring the other is a good way to get into trouble. Both are important parts of you.

When your heart wants you to post that important opinion on the internet, maybe listen to your brain:

When your brain wants to feed you depressing research about delicious food, maybe listen to your heart.

When your heart just wants to look like everyone else, remember that your brain is what makes you special.

Sometimes your brain wants to remind you of the futility of the human experience. Try listening to your heart for a different view.

In fact, take a look at the universe while you’re at it. If your brain gets overwhelmed, let your heart take the reins.

Back on Earth, when your heart finally gets your brain to take that trip, you’ll likely face this dilemma.

And when you come home, your heart and brain might be even more split than usual.

Enter the awful side effects of jet lag!

And you know what’s right behind jet lag? The vicious cycle that is anxiety!

This is when it would be wise to take Heart’s advice: Live in the moment rather than dwell on the past (or future).

Because we all know this quote is true, even if Heart stole it from a movie.

As good as indulging in the whims of your heart can feel, at the end of a long day, it’s important to check back in with your brain.

Because you know once your heart starts feeling things, it’s hard for your brain to stop it.

That’s why sometimes your brain needs to call in reinforcements.

Of course, those reinforcements don’t always work.

But don’t be fooled. Your brain has a ton of power all on its own. Just not enough power to fix everything.

Your heart’s no slouch, either. With a little compromise and working together, both your heart and brain can win.
