Default think with one's head or heart
(1) I always think with my head.
(2) I always think with my heart.
I'd like to know the difference between (1) and (2).
Thank you.

head = logic
heart = emotion, passion

tdol, thank you for your response.
So, "think with one's head" means "think logically" and "think with one's heart" means "think emotionally". I've heard "think with one's stomach". I guess this means "to always think about eating".
