Question

how can I balance my emotions and reasons when I'm making an critical thinking decision

Answer 1

To make critical decisions, we need the full connection and concentration of our cognitive functions, something convoluted whenever we are emotional and therefore in order for us to balance our emotions and make critical decisions, we should:

1. Acknowledge that we are emotional and refrain from making rash decisions, especially if we can postpone the decision-making process to another time.
2. Logic can surely be utilized whenever we are emotional. For example, if we are excited, we can be sure that our decisions can be biased towards highly optimistic considerations and circumstances, therefore, we can make decisions that logic dictates in order to keep the influence to a minimum.
3. We can balance between logic and emotions, making sure logic is considered more by creating a list of PROS and CONS for our decision, listing all appropriate factors that are the necessary constraints of the system and utilize it better.
