Thinking With Tears

     I find that I often process information with emotion and that emotion has a focusing effect on my thinking and not a distracting one.

    Thinking with tears is a way of saying that when I process information, I process that information in a global manner. I use both the left and right sides of my brain to help explain both the reasoning as well as the emotions themselves.

     The old argument that emotional thinking is irrational has gone by the wayside. 20% of the human population are highly sensitive and exist in a higher state of empathy. I say this as a way of saying that you, and I are not alone in our emotive thinking.

     I find that the patriarchal value system does not allow for this emotive thinking and tend to dismiss. And yet, emotive thinking is not the sole realm of women and is not a feminine attribute; it is a human attribute

     Emotive thinking allows for different solutions to enter the process and promotes creative solutions which may or may not be linear. I find that weeping through information also ties it to memory and I remember and recall things much easier than most because I have tied the process to emotion.

     This also shortens the learning curve as memory, recall, emotion, and information are all wound together as a common core. So the next time you are out and see something that absolutely overwhelms you and brings you to tears, just go with it.

Then go take a nap
