Your heart says Dive in

Your Brain counters Test the waters

Heart: Full speed ahead

Brain: Hit the brakes

Heart: You need this

Brain: Back away

Heart: Now

Brain: Later

Heart: Your head is spinning

Brain: Yeah, I'm up here—knock it off!

You want to:

  • Scream, "Shut up!"
  • Flip a coin
  • Climb under a blanket

But you detest the idea of more body parts getting involved.

Heart: Compromise

Brain: Give it a week

Heart: That's what I wanted in the first place

Brain: Smart ass

Heart: Uh, no, that's not me!
