thinking/feeling
Another thing that I think helped me was to view emotions holistically, ie neither cognitive states nor feelings in the body. Rather an emotion is a state that has many components: dispositions to actions, physiological responses, recurrent thoughts, altered attention, etc.
Thinking vs feeling and the false binary
Our intellectual and active powers increase with our affection. The scholar sits down to write, and all his years of meditation do not furnish him with one good thought or happy expression; but it is necessary to write a letter to a friend, and, forthwith, troops of gentle thoughts invest themselves, on every hand, with chosen words.
Emotion and intellect are invariably tied. Life is a dance of both, you must seek out experiences that will allow their emerging and dance — and that is both by being with yourself and with others. Thinking about feeling and feeling your thoughts.
Just putting together a piece on the merits of feeling vs. thinking in the creative process. Was reminded of this powerful clip of writer Ray Bradbury … it’s a good one if you don’t know it.
