Synopsis

Are you happy with your life as it is today? Are you aware that your profile and your daily life are nothing but the consequences of all of the decisions we ever made? Most people don’t know how profound the effect of our daily decision-making always is. Every decision we ever make shapes who we are, what we do, what we like or dislike, and how we feel. It creates our reality, our habits, and all aspects of our current personality – without consciously realizing it. Decision-making is regarded as a cognitive process, based on beliefs, values, preferences, and reasoning. Often, this action is considered as a problem-solving process.
In reality, most of our decisions are made subconsciously and on the base of our emotions with no control and no rational examination. First of all, most decisions in our lives are usually made subconsciously, based on our temporary mood, feelings, or attitude. For instance, when we experience a bad day at work, most of our following decisions are heavily influenced by that – without even realizing it. This proves, that our emotions create major consequences in our decision-making process. The worst thing might not be just the fact that this happens but that we're usually not aware of it at all.

Emotional thinking can lead to uncontrolled short-term decisions that ignore our long-term and general lifetime goals. They can have some very unpleasant effects such as.
Jumping to conclusions without considering the necessary information
Seducing us to instant black-and-white thinking being inflexible and unforgiving
Feeling vulnerable, leading to paranoid thinking
Over-reacting by intense our current emotions and catastrophizing
Becoming irrational by disregarding any normal consideration
Judging purely emotionally by feeling pressured by feelings instead of facts
