Letters for Creatives - Heart vs Mind | #119
Hi, this is Celeste. I have been writing poems since 2017 and my low-fantasy crime novel Project Dylan since 2022. Letters for Creatives is the place where I share my thoughts on writing, creativity, resources for creatives, and interview creators and authors. If you want to get them in your inbox, you can always subscribe! You can now sponsor Letters for Creatives to get your work or product in front of 600+ writers and creatives. It has been a month since I last wrote to you. If you are sensitive to what is happening in the world now and tend to consume content on spirituality, it is 8/8 Lion’s gate today. I can feel the shift internally. Heart vs MindI just did what I was called to do, I turned inwards and listened to what my heart wants, ignoring what my brain tells me for once. For those of you who thinks that this is too new-age, you can ignore the following. Listening to the head often means that you would be rational with your decisions because we are still using the mindsets of our ancestors, fighting for survival. If you have watched Inside Out 2, you would know that Anxiety is an emotion that can get out of our control. We often choose the path our head tells us to follow because it seems to lead to the most security and seems to alleviate or even get rid of anxiety. But not everyone is born to follow the same path. When you listen to your heart, it is usually something that you end up enjoying to do. It is something that you can tirelessly work on or something that you can push through despite of resistance. The gut tells you to do things that are completely out of the blue. It can be learning a new language or starting a new project without prior experience. You don’t know what would happen but it is similar to when you listen to your heart.

Frameworks that help you to make decisionIf you decides to do what you actually want, you might feel a sense of insecurity in this date and age. The following frameworks would be helpful for you to make the decisions. Fear-setting Tim Ferriss uses the fear-setting framework when he needs to make a decision that he could not make. As he began to feel trapped in his work, he wanted to leave his company at its own device and take a one-year sabbatical. But he couldn’t make this decision. Then the idea of thinking about the worst case scenario came to him... Unlock this post for free, courtesy of Celeste Tsang.A subscription gets you:
