Emotion is the language of the unconscious mind and logic is the language of conscious mind.

Without emotions we can’t quickly and easily make decisions. Logic is all well-and-good, but it’s just the terminal piece of the decision- making puzzle, with a lot of the supporting work done through emotional input from experience we’ve had. Emotion often outweigh our logic.

There are 2 competing thought processes that drive decisions: emotion & logic. Although those 2 can occasionally be intertwined, deciphering whether your choices are made by emotions or logic can be main part of ensuring that you’re forming the best decisions for your long term satisfaction.

We make choices root on our emotion or logic. According to today’s Psychology, most decisions are driven by emotions, even though most of the people think that they approach decisions making through logic. Emotions are powerful. But logic — the ability to form decisions using sound and rational thought processes- is something that may be missing from our life.

Notion of Emotion

90% of human decisions are made root on emotions. Humans use logic to justify their actions to themselves and others too.
