Emotional Reasoning

Reflection

I noticed that I use emotional reasoning to drive many of my choices. I want to try to distance myself from my feelings more so I feel in control.

I've been doing this for a long time. Reasoning away my poor choices. I'm glad this is here. Thank you. I'm very interested in learning more.

Emotional Decision Making

I learned something I already know which is try to use the cognitive part of my brain. For most my life I have let my feeling drive me and felt out of control. Stepping back gives me a different perspective based on evidence that is true. For the past few years I have been able to change. My emotions are not readily read by everyone and apparent. I fill empowered by having more control and my life is a lot less bumpy.

Emotional reasoning

Strangely I’ve known I’ve been doing this all along but needed to hear it from someone else. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to how I approach every situation. I’m off today. It’s raining. I have many projects around the house I want to get done. I know how to start them now.

This is refreshing and insightful. I could relate especially pertaining to putting away tasks that seem overwhelming to me… those feelings and anxieties do get the better of me often. Glad I can learn to recognize that my feelings aren’t always facts.

I realize that I suffer from emotional reasoning. I have a number of very large decisions to make these decisions are on a time schedule.

I learned that I need to take a step back and look at it and try to pick out pieces that I can start rather than allowing myself to be overwhelmed. I also learned that I am afraid of the outcome intend to put it off, pretending there will be no repercussions in my inaction.

Emotional Seasoning

There are so many ways I've been using my emotions to make decisions. Just upend the shaker and see which ones pour out. It's interesting to realize I'm not nearly as logical as I thought I was. That's probably why my house is a mess but I know where almost every item is in the chaos,0 and I can understand quantum theory better than basic math. So, I guess I have to start paying a lot more attention when I make decisions, or feel hopeless or daunted by something. You hear that house? No more excuses. Tomorrow we start giving you a thorough cleaning! I shall become aware of my emotions and where they guide my thoughts, but I won't be bound by them. That's the plan, anyway.
