The essential difference between emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action, while reason leads to conclusions.
— Donald Calne, noted neurologist
I have been pondering the misunderstanding that the mind is like a computer. Studies show our mind is an emotional tool. Processing information is secondary. This is where many in the recovery process get tripped up: they stay in their head. They forget to feel, and be in the moment. Ideation, fantasy, obsessive thinking, worry are the bars of mental prison.
This is why "enjoying one moment at a time" is so important.
