EI : Emotional Intelligence


We always separate between our emotions and our thoughts.

Now a step back please, what is the mind, and what is the brain?
The mind is the virtual place where the thoughts and emotions are created and processed and amended,
Where the brain is the actual organ where many processes occur, it consists of 2 hemispheres; each hemisphere is responsible for a certain type of process. The right one for the emotions and the left one for the logic
Now what are emotions, let's go back to basics, what is really an emotion? The emotion is a state of mind, a feeling and also it is an unspoken thought, a felt thought, and the thought is the product of the logical process taking place in one of the hemispheres in our brain

So we may not understand the emotion at first & sometimes we may deny it, thinking that since they are inexplicable they shouldn't enter in the taking decision process. When they actually are a part of our brain and our thinking process.

So thinking by emotions is a part of your brain and thinking via logic is another part, and choosing to think with only one part will cause you loss of full brain function, and in a life where we used to believe that we only use 10% of our brain capacity, some people has a lot of nerve neglecting half of that brain power.
