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.

Emotions should play a role in our decisions. But, if they play too big of a role, we’ll make poor choices.

Logic should also play a role indecision-making. But if we base our choices on logic alone, we’ll also make mistakes.

We make our best decisions when we balance logic withemotion. 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.

It’s something we often address in thetherapy officeas mental health plays a huge role in whether we’re being too logical or too emotional.

In this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I explain how tobalance emotions with logicso you can make wise decisions.
