Mel Robbins Quotes

We don't look at problems logically, we look at them emotionally. We look at them through the guts. We look at them as if we're doing a high school problem, like what is beautiful, what makes me recognized among my peers. We don't go and think about things. We, as a society, don't wish to engage in rational thought.

I don't make decisions with my head anymore. If I don't get the go ahead with my gut, I usually back out.

He's thinking more with his heart than with his brain.

People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head; it is actually done by the heart which first dictates the conclusion, then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it.

Half our mistakes in life arise from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel.

It is a poor head that cannot find plausible reason for doing what the heart wants to do.

A buddy of mine is doing a documentary on decisions, and they're not based on a ton of logic. It's mostly how you relate to them emotionally.

Sometimes emotions are more important than rationality.

Statistics rarely drive me. Feelings, intuition, and gut instinct do.

Sometimes knowing what's right isn't a rational decision, or even what works on paper. Sometimes leaving is the best course of action after all.

Truly successful decision-making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking.

Sometimes I'll trust my gut more than my head. Logical information might lead me in one direction and my feelings in another. Whereas I would have followed my head ten years ago, now I'm as likely or more likely to go with my gut feeling. It's ironic - you'd think the opposite would be true as you move to the top but it's not.

We are often in society told to make decisions in one of two ways. We're either told "Use your gut, just go with how you feel about it and let that guide you," or we're told to use reason - some very deliberative methodical process of pros and cons and really thinking it through.

When the heart flies out before the understanding, it saves the judgment a world of pains.

Opinion is ultimately determined by the feelings, and not by the intellect.

I've only ever trusted my gut on everything. I don't trust my head, I don't trust my heart, I trust my gut.

Is instinct in the head or in the heart? Off the field, I follow my good instincts which steer me in the right direction. Sometimes on the field my head leads me astray. That's what I believe.

Reason is the servant of instinct.

At the constitutional level where we work, 90 percent of any decision is emotional. The rational part of us supplies the reasons for supporting our predilections.

Sometimes a faint voice based on instinct resonates far more strongly than overpowering logic.

I'm quite intuitive about what I pick. Often it's to do with what I've just done and how I'm feeling.

We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.

We have no reason to expect the quality of intuition to improve with the importance of the problem. Perhaps the contrary: high-stake problems are likely to involve powerful emotions and strong impulses to action.

Trust your gut instinct over spreadsheets. There are too many variables in the real world that you simply can't put into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets spit out results from your inexact assumptions and give you a false sense of security. In most cases, your heart and gut are still your best guide.

I've always been more comfortable making my decisions from the subconscious level, or more emotionally, because I find it is more truthful to me; Intellectually, I don't think like that because I get uncomfortable.
