71- How to Decide: What You Feel Vs. What You Know (GIVEAWAY RESULTS)

Hello My Loves,

I know some of you are here to find out who won the giveaway, but as always, it’s Friday, so I do have a new love note for you! The release is scheduled for a bit later today, as I am writing this at 9 am. I struggled to find a topic this week because, usually, I experience something that triggers the entry. However, this past week, I haven't been in work mode. I have literally had the best weekend of my life. I spent my birthday weekend in Bodrum, with my girls, and I NEEDED IT. However, it’s just as hard to unwind as it is to refocus and get back into work.

This week, I want to talk about the battle between separating what we feel from what we know. Yes, this was inspired by the Carrie Bradshaw quote you see above, but when I think about the week I have just had and how I am feeling right now.  It applies. There is so much I am navigating in life, in my career, in my love life and in my friendships, and I think it’s so interesting because as humans we feel so much.  

Feelings are magnetic; sometimes they aren’t aligned with our best interests, but often, that pull might be worth listening to. Feelings aren’t just noises; they’re signals. Your body’s way of telling you what the mind can’t articulate. In the same breath, feelings are intoxicating; they can convince you that holding on is noble, staying in love is strength, and loyalty in friendship means ignoring the obvious. You don’t want to fall into the trap of seeing attachment as what’s true. The way to stay safe is to see your feelings as data. Sometimes it’s a good compass, but logic and what we know normally act as a good balance. What to remember: no decision is certain, often battling between the two leaves you second-guessing yourself, but a decision needs to be made.

Usually, what we know is quieter, steadier and is like a whisper. How someone treats you consistently, how a job is more draining than it’s giving and how timing makes a difference. The hard part is that logic never makes you feel the high that what you feel does. Feeling usually drowns out the noise. What we know grounds us. Growth comes from navigating that tension between the two. Not silencing one side but letting them challenge each other until clarity appears. You have to learn to honour what you’re feeling and trust that whatever outcome you take, the risk is worth taking. Have enough wisdom to take a step back before you take any rash decisions. 

I hope you take the time to hear and learn for yourself. I care for you.

Use this week to be in tune with yourself,

With Love,

-JK x
