That is the fallacy of education, when an exercise is targeted to common folk as their emotional connection to a concept is used, it works really well. However, someone with different definitions of concepts they cannot rationally understand it. Logic is defined very specifically as "Logic is the consistent patterns that bring about our reality. Anytime we refer to reality, the organism, consistency or life, we are referring to logic, since logic is the patterns that govern everything." hence, that is which you connect a positive emotion to. So it isn't a fallacy. "making sense" was used previously but didn't work as well.
Now, directly as you thought of logic you started thinking about what logic means here. It is not meant to be a thinking exercise, emotions are not spoken by words, only after as a tool to communicate them. Either in the mind or verbally. So it is meant to be a visualization exercise or any other means which emotionally connect. Talking/thinking, not so much, more primitive. If you accept this definition for logic for the sake of the exercise it will work. But I don't know how you will emotionally connect to that, it's up to you.
Because you skipped the definition of logic as stated in the exercise as remarked by your confusion.
Don't worry too much about Step 1, I think you already love logic as it is defined. Step 2 will probably be more difficult then Step 3.
Here's the guided meditation for Step 2: https://soundcloud.com/athenepodcast/guided-meditation-step-2 and Step 3:https://soundcloud.com/athenepodcast/guided-meditation-step-3
Although those were for the old steps. After completing step 2 (and figuring out your emotions) you simply realize in step 3 how you can emotionally be in equilibrium with the consistent patterns that govern everything and how it did channel it through other means.
This is not in fact what "logic" means.
(Of course you can define any word you please to have any meaning you please. But if your definition diverges too badly from others' the most likely effect will be confusion. Or, in some cases, deliberate deception.)
