Deep dives

Decision making based on emotions

When making decisions, our emotional center plays a crucial role, as we make emotional decisions rather than intellectual ones. We use our intellect to understand how we will feel at the end of a decision. Fear is often involved in decision making, and it can cloud our thinking and limit our ability to see alternative options. By welcoming and being aware of our emotions, decision making becomes clearer and more authentic.
