Where do you think your ‘self’ is? Your answer is revealing

Here’s a simple task that might help you to understand your mind a little better. Place your finger on part of your body that best represents the location of the “self”. Don’t overthink it; there is no right or wrong answer. Simply tune into the feeling of where the essence of “you”, the very core of your being, resides.

If you are like most people, you will point to either your head or your heart. As absurd as it may seem, a host of research suggests that your answer reflects your thinking style – whether you are being driven by logic and analysis, or intuition and emotion. And learning to shift between the two modes of being – and to do so at will – may have some surprising benefits for your decision-making.
