A positive way of thinking using the conscious mind is to think by using rationality or reason. Did you know, many people who still ignore the ratio or reason in thinking something. Try to look at the street, many of which do not make sense. Is risking a life on the road just for the sake of emotion or sooner it makes little sense?
Of course there are many other examples, things that are actually beyond logic. If discussed here would be a lot. I'll take one example, it's about confidence. Suppose you've spoken in public, then you made a mistake. Does this mean you can not speak in public? If we use the ratio correctly, we should say not necessarily. It could just be a mistake and not show who we really are.
It's just that many people are carried away by emotions (rather than ratios) by directly assuming themselves to be "incompetent" in public speaking. Though this is just a presumption or optini. The fact is you made a mistake. But there is not a single logical rule that says you can not (or can never) speak publicly. It's just an opinion.
