Friday Fix: Episode 206

We all make poor decisions sometimes. But we often blame those bad decisions on not having enough information. And while that may be a factor, there’s another factor that often comes into play–we aren’t balancing our emotions with logic.  Logic should also play a role in decision-making. But if we base our choices on logic alone, we’ll also make mistakes. We make our best decisions when we balance logic with emotion. That can be tough to do though. Fortunately, this is a skill that everyone can learn. Learning how to use your wise mind involves finding a balance between your emotional side and your rational side.  In this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I explain how to balance emotions with logic so you can make wise decisions.
