The mind follows physiology. When the body gets too hot, the mind marshals resources to cool it down. Everything, including thoughts, ideas, and emotions, waits on the sideline until the mind regulates body temperature to a normal level. The same is true when the body gets too cold. Everything going on in the mind is suspended because doing two things at once is inefficient. The brain exerts its will for survival.
