our mind has three states: The reasonable mind, the emotional mind, and the
wise mind. Everyone possesses each of these states, but most people gravitate
toward a specific one most of the time.
Wise mind is the point of overlap between emotion and reasonable mind, like on the Venn diagram. Wise mind is part reason and part emotion and what makes you know you're in this mind is often a sense of intuition. It can sometimes be described as that 'aha' moment.
The emotional mind is used when feelings control a person’s thoughts and behavior. They might act impulsively with little regard for consequences.
| The wise mind refers to a balance between the reasonable and emotional halves. They are able to recognize and respect their feelings, while responding to them in a rational manner. | A person uses their reasonable mind when they approach a situation intellectually. They plan and make decisions based on fact. |
