We have both the rational mind and emotional wisdom living inside us. Depending on the subject, some people lean towards one side, while others lean towards the other.
Knowing which side we connect with can be helpful. For example, when we learn to write a book and get it published, connecting with our rational minds helps get things done. If we turn to sugar and food to process our emotional conflicts, connecting to the rational mind to cut down sugar consumption would be a waste of energy and time.
Understanding how we connect with our minds for habits and thoughts is helpful to make lasting changes in life.
