Would you consider yourself to be a smart person? If so, in what sense? We've all heard of the IQ test (intelligence quotient) which tests your intelligence and focuses on mental aptitude. There's also the EQ test which tests someone's emotional intelligence. Having a high EQ means you have the ability to identify and regulate your emotions and understand the emotions of others.  Well there's one other type of intelligence people don't talk about often, and that is HQ, heart intelligence. Seriously, have you ever thought of your heart as being intelligent? Take a second, think about it, and I'm sure the answer is not really. But as you continue to ponder that question you'll probably come to the realization that your heart does have its own intelligence. Think about it, at some point we've all said something along the lines of “I just feel it in my heart that this is what I'm supposed to do” or “In my heart I know this is the next step I'm supposed to take.”  Well when we say that, or make decisions from our heart space, we're tapping into our heart intelligence. On the show with me today, to help break down this concept even further is Cris Agafi. Cris is a heart intelligence coach and best-selling author, co-creator of HeartQ™ and the Heart Intelligent Lifestyle™. Cris guides others in finding the inner knowing of their heart, connecting to their innate heart intelligence and designing an aligned and fulfilling life. After years of neglecting his own voice, Cris learned to trust his intuition again and to distinguish between his heart's true desires and the ego's attachments. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awordtothewisepod/message
