Giving credibility to messages from your heart is a key step to happiness in all areas of your life. Yet most of us have not been taught to lead our lives this way. We may recognize that a fulfilled heart is the key to a happy life, yet we don’t often trust our hearts to lead us there. It is as if we expect that our heart is going to lead us down an irresponsible path of whim and wild.

How to trust your heart more than your analytical mind:

1. Allow your heart to play a role in all matters of your life, just as you allow it a significant role in your personal relationships.
2. Acknowledge that your heart is the center of your spiritual essence. As such, it is the most knowledgeable entity about who you really are at the core and what is right for you.
3. Believe that your heart always has your best interest in mind.
4. Practice following your heart for simple decisions so that you can build the experience to trust it in larger issues.
