logical Thinking

Logical thinking, or as I like to call it, rational thinking, is allowing your brain to do its work. It’s thinking with your head and not your emotions, feelings or even your pants ooh yes I said it.

 About two years ago, I used to hear a very close friend talk about these concept time after time. But not until recently did it get my attention and I started assessing my thinking patterns and how it was filled with lots of irrational patterns and well kinda stupid explanation to things that were simple, precise and clear.  For example, I would contemplate for hours on telling someone to do something that that person is actually supposed to or silently suffer alone just because I feared asking for help. I don’t know why I tortured and loaded myself with burdens that were not my own. All I ever needed to do was speak out and know myself and my responsibilities in each circumstance.

More often than not, we fall in this trap of thinking with our emotions when it’s our brains turn to work. We often think of people when we are supposed to be thinking of ourselves. We get carried away by the masses when we know that the only one who matters to you in that crowd is you, the only one who you are responsible for, is you. Well more often than not, my friend, what makes us think and/or do all this, is irrational thinking. Thinking with our emotions and feelings.

When I realized I was a victim of thinking with my emotions, I started looking around and I found out I wasn’t alone. The world is field with people who worry too much, people who overthink even very small issues that don’t really require us to dwell on as much as we do. You often hear people saying “but what will they think of me”, “people think we are awesome together, what will they think if I leave him”, “what if she gets mad at me for saying that”, and the list goes on. Some people are even afraid to say when they are being harassed or abused or disrespected just because of how they portray those people either their bosses, parents, siblings, partners e.t.c to be greater than them. Well, haha, of course they are greater than you, maybe by age or rank or something else, but that doesn’t mean you’re any less of a person. So you deserve their respect as much as they deserve yours. Never forget that.

 So today I come bearing good news. You don’t need to think too much on quite a lot of things. You don’t have to stress on what people will think because if they are on your side, they will stick around and if they are not, it doesn’t matter what you do or how much you do it, they will still leave. Its high time you think of what you want. If you want something, GO THE FUCK GET IT.

Basically, logical thinking is all about being able to separate your emotions from your thinking. Its being able to do something without irrational patterns. For example, if somebody hurts you tell them don’t keep it to yourself. If somebody tells you to do something you don’t want to do, speak out. If you think you have an answer to a question in class, then say it out loud, if you’re wrong then you’ll get to learn something new otherwise you are right.
