Understanding Your self
Going with your heart or your head often depends on your individual personality and mental make-up. Says psychiatrist, Dr Chetan Jain, “Some individuals are capable of taking calculated decisions even on emotional matters like relationships and love – here the analytical mindset is predominant. At the other extreme, you have matters relating to career or business – this is also not a very advisable situation. The ideal would probably be a fine blend of both determined by the individual situation.”

Similarly with entrepreneur, Dr. Prabha Khaitan. She states, “I take rational decisions depending on direct observations and information. But emotion always piays a role in my decision. This is because I strongly believe that no decision can be absolutely rational or only emotional. It is always a combination of both.
A majority of our decisions are based on a more or less rational decision-making process, which one has evolved over the years, shaped by both socio-cultural and emotional forces within us. Following our head or our heart is second nature to us, depending on the situation. While one might throw rationale to the wind while falling in love with an eminently unsuitable person and go purely by gut instinct,
Mindset play an important role in determining whether one is a heart or a head person. Most of us fall into two mindsets those who think with rigid mindsets where distinctions, black and white and no grey area predominate; and fuzz mindsets where ambiguities the novel, and mental fluid are welcome.
