Wise Mind

Exploring the concept of 𝓦𝓲𝓼𝓮 𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓭, a mix of emotions and logic.

𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲 mind is one of the three mindsets, which also includes Emotional mind and Reasonable (or what I like to call logical). According to Dr. Marsha Linehan, we have these three mindsets.

✨A reasonable mind or logical mind is focused on facts. (Think Spock from Star Trek.) This mindset is very controlled, grounded, and slower-paced. The problem with staying too long in this mindset is it can be boring, clinical, predictable, and sometimes suppressing of emotions.

✨On the other end of the spectrum is the emotional mind. (Think Tigger from Winnie the Pooh) This mindset can be passionate, creative. It can even help to find motivation. The problem with staying here too long in this emotional mindset is that it can be exhausting, unstable, intense, reactive, and unpredictable.

✨The ideal place to hang out is in the middle -- our 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲 mind, where we bring both sides together in a balanced way. Our wise mind is grounded, notices when we need self-care, and it is our best decision-making mindset.
