Just one okay?? Which one would you consider in decision making? Both are important I know, and sometimes it depends on the situation. But most of the time, what do you use? Personally I use my BRAIN because it's proven for me to lead you in the right path.. =D

Hey, Well you can't really use your heart in order to make decisions except if it is a decision to do with love. I all the time make decisions using my brain, or else if I wouldn't, my life would turn out totally miserable. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Most of the time I always balanced them, because I am not comfortable with the decision if I will only let my heart decide or my brain. It should be balanced.

If i have to choose I'd go for brain over heart, following my heart always seems to land me in trouble. I think it's best if you can find a reasonable balance of the two though.

I am a complete heart person and guess what that puts me into a lot of trouble which causes a lot of hurts. Being very emotional, I cannot use my brain all the time and get carried away from time to time. I am trying to change though.

i would love to say i use my brain.. but sadly, i'm a very emotional person. That means, half the time my brain is swayed by the heart. And so i'd convince brain that my heart is right. So i think that i'm making decisions with my brain. But in reality, it's the heart.

I use my brain most of the time.the brain makes practical and logical reasons.with the heart,there is the emotion.usually my brain makes the best decisions.that's why the brain is over the heart.though there are some decisions that my both my brain and heart agrees on.

Using brain and heart in making decisions depends on what kinds of situation. And just like you most of the time I also use my brain. I am the type of person who is practical in making decisions so using my brain is what I always do whether in relationship or work.

Mostly brain cecille. Heart is used in that case when there is 50, 50 percent probability. Hmm, to use the brain means to use wisdom and wisdom always leads in good result, isn't it... Happy mylotting..

I make some decision using only my brain sometimes because I know it might not deceive me as the heart would have as it had sometimes but there are also time in life when I had to think of my heart and make a decision such as being with someone for my life, If the brain and the mind is combined then I think it is still a bit difficult as there will be contradictions reasoning both. A good brain is to lead a man to success and a good heart is to lead a man to love. Both are important in life so both should be consulted to be fine.

I use my instinct! LOL. I don't know if that is under my brain or my heart... hmmm... Anyway, if I should choose, I think I use my brain more than my heart. It's just practical, and I have proven to myself that following my heart only leads to disaster. =)

In most of the situations, i use brain to make the decision, i will try to think what's the outcome if i making certain decision. Different decision will result in different outcome, no one decision is perfect, so have to let go something which is not the important one. In rare situation, i use heart to make decision, mostly it is related to relationship matter. My personal experience is relationship is not rational and hard to use brain to think about it.

Most of the time I use brain, but undeniable there is some times I use heart, especially in the matter of relationship, be it relationship with partner, or relationship with friend.

it was a mixed decision but in some situation i use my brain more than my heart for i will have to think it many times to decide what will be the better way for the result of it. Especially if it is too confidential.

I will say that I use both brain and heart. But, I give more importance to my brain's words. I am a person who takes very hard decisions in a short period of time. Soemtimes I even think my heart tries to dominates brain many times.

It depends. If it's work-related, I have to be very objective with my decisions and at the same time I need to support every decision that I make with facts, thus I'd be using my brain. However, if it's about personal stuff, I try to make it a good mix of both. It can't just be based all on emotions. It's still important to use the brain.

cecillecarmela . . I have always thought that the best rule of thumb when a decision is at hand is..... [i]to handle yourself, use your head. to handle others, use your heart.[/i] Hope this helps, Happy day to you
