Why are there times we cry during a movie, but can’t shed a tear when a friend shares their life issues? Emotions can come on without notice or build up over time and explode into a total meltdown. This is what makes us so different than anything else in mother nature.
We make decisions with our emotions, whether we want to admit it or not. We buy based on how we feel, not always based on logic. This is why emotions are a very important part of our makeup.
No other creature in nature makes decisions based on emotions. Their decisions are based on survival. Getting food for their young, protecting them from danger, or moving on to find better food or water sources. That’s pretty much it. However, we are way more complicated than that.
We need to know what and when dinner will be.
Our survival many times is simply getting through the day.
Protecting our young from possible online bullying, hurt feelings, or getting through a rough situation.
Quite different, as you can see. But as I stated, the majority of our decisions are based on the emotions we are feeling at the time. This can even include our work and school activities. While the wild has 3 predominant things to worry about, we have many.
Buying a car – The color, how it feels when you drive it, how much it costs all based on how you feel – EMOTIONS.
Making dinner – What it tastes like, how it looks, how it smells all based on EMOTIONS.
Moving to a new city – What’s the weather like all year long, is it sunny, does it rain, how does the neighborhood make you feel? Happy, excited, or OMG all based on EMOTIONS.
Business decisions – Do I like the person I will be working with? Will they respect my views? How much will I make? Will I make enough to cover all my costs? All based on EMOTIONS.
And for those men or women out there saying, “Nope I’m very logical with my decisions, no emotions involved.” How did you feel when you got that new car? Or the promotion at work? Or the Zoom meeting that lasted longer than expected? You felt something, whether that be elated, stressed, or frustrated you expressed emotions. You very often felt it in your gut and react to that feeling or emotion.
Yes, our culture says women are much more emotional, but we all base decisions on how we feel. This is why it’s important to also pay attention to these emotions because many times they can tell us whether to move forward or back away.
Whether you believe you make decisions based on emotions or logic, I would be willing to bet when someone asked why you said yes or no you came back with, “I felt it made good sense.” Or “It just didn’t feel right to me.”
Here’s to getting in-tune with your emotional powers.
