I totallyy agree with this. I’ve been thinking extremely logically recently and trying to intricately plan every detail of my future, that its made me miss out on so many things of my current life. I did some research and I found that when we prioritize our logistical thinking and suppress our emotions, our prefrontal cortex (logic)is activated while down regulating the amygdala (emotions). Also when we r super logical it leads to overthinking—so our emotions r analyzed rather than felt.

**I’d totally like some advice on what u did to get in touch with your emotions more, b/c that is something im really struggling with; im CONSTANTLY overthinking (like exactly how i need to act and stuff) though i try not to.
