**Emotional valences and the construction of decisions **
Many people overemphasize the significance of decisions, treating them as monumental rather than recognizing that many are reversible. The ability to reverse decisions allows individuals to act quickly and confidently, reducing the fear of making a wrong choice. In professional settings, shifting jobs is often viable, particularly in roles with high demand like sales. Emotional needs, such as the desire for closeness, can coincide with rational decision-making; enjoying relationships and connections can be seen as inherently rational. However, individuals often struggle to align their emotional desires with cognitive assessments of what is best for them. Engaging with emotions fully and embracing them may lead to clearer decision-making, suggesting that a balance between emotional understanding and rational thought is essential for effective choices.
