Being Heart-Thoughtful Leads the Way

by Bonnie Snyder, Ed.S., CPC and Jan Rysdon, M.A., CHt.
“The heart-brain dynamic modulates and regulates every function of the body and brain, influences our endocrine glandular functions, immune system, capacity for body healing, all memory and learning, DNA activity and of course All relationships.”

— Joseph Chilton Pearce
Are there days when you feel like you radiate with clarity and a sense of calm? And no matter what comes your way or how busy you are, whatever happens, it all works out – even the challenges? Those days you feel a sense of integrity and trust yourself fully as you lead with confidence in your personal and professional life. When worry, stress, or feeling overloaded sneaks in…
 
You can also, without a doubt, remember the days when you were highjacked and disconnected. And maybe you thought you shouldn’t be. It may have started with a challenging situation or stressful thoughts. You couldn’t see the light. Your radiance and your resiliency seemed to drain away, forgotten in a moment. You lost YOU and then navigated without your sense of ease and confidence.
 
During those times, it was easy to move into automatic pilot. You didn’t fully consider all aspects of your decisions but just did whatever you needed to get through the day. Perhaps your body’s natural protective system of the ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ kicked in.
 
When this happened, you became disconnected from your heart. You let your mind run with unhelpful stories, and your ability to fully listen to your intuition or hear your inner wisdom fell by the wayside. In those times, so did your ability to lead yourself and others as effectively as you usually do.
 
So, how do you get YOU back? How do you reconnect to your inner leader, and have compassion to guide yourself and others effectively?
 

The Heart-Thoughtful Mindfulness Connection

We know that being mindful reminds us to be in the moment. By adding “Heart-Thoughtful” to mindfulness you introduce another aspect to your life creating a partnership of the heart and mind. This partnership is invaluable in being an effective, resilient leader.
 
Being Heart Thoughtful empowers you. It helps you reclaim your confidence, clarity and calm. The strategies and ways of being Heart-Thoughtful along with leading with your heart followed by your mind creates resiliency.

  • Remind yourself to stay in the present moment (not in the past or future).
  • Pause, breathe, and drop into your heart before making a decision.
  • Be curious; ask a question - “I wonder…?” or “I’m curious; what are other possibilities?”
  • Have compassion for yourself and for the other person.
  • Stop during the day and take a moment to be appreciative of someone or something.
