Leading with the Heart
As you probably know, the most challenging thing in life is building and maintaining healthy relationships. This not only includes relationships with all the people and things around you, but also the relationship with yourself. The physical heart is the key to overcoming this challenge. Yes, it’s more than a mere pump.
When the brain and the heart synchronize, the union supports clear thinking and better problem solving. Feeling appreciation and compassion creates a smooth coherent heart rhythm pattern, resulting in a calming and balancing effect between heart and brain. This is a state worth maintaining and a great starting place when facing life’s greatest challenges.
Conversely, stress and frustration cut you off from your ability to problem solve and access creativity. The way you face daily challenges determines how you succeed in navigating your professional and personal life. Based on the research of the HeartMath Institute many people around the world have made the shift from being brain focused to being heart focused and leading with the heart.
