Consequences of Emotional Decisions:

Hello my lovely master,

All bad feelings such as anxiety and fear about the future can lead to negative outcomes. If I make decisions based on these feelings, I am likely to make mistakes. For example:

In 2018, when I wanted to buy a laptop, the seller convinced me it was the best option at that price. I purchased it, but later realized it was a big mistake due to my lack of confidence and fear.

On the other hand, when I wanted to purchase a phone, I approached the decision with relaxation and patience. As a result, I bought the best phone on the market at the best price.

Staying in states of anxiety, worry, fear, and apprehension will lead to bad results. For example, a few years ago in 2021, I bought an electronic repair package. However, I did not learn or start working on it because of my lack of faith and belief, and my worry that it would be useless and unhelpful. Consequently, I didn’t learn anything, and now I see the results of that decision. But it is not too late. We need to understand who we are and our background, step by step, and act accordingly. Now is the time to learn electronic repairing as quickly as possible because it is the first step, and I love this field and believe I have a special talent in it. Please, God, help me with this goal. I am ready to put all my energy and focus into achieving it.

• I believe I have a special talent in this field.

• I can make significant progress in a short amount of time and achieve high accomplishments.

• I am nothing without God’s help, and I am asking God for guidance because I don’t know everything. Please help me.

#### Practice:

1. From what things are you afraid?

2. When did you act emotionally and what happened?

3. When did you act relaxed and what happened?

I am afraid of the future and worried that bad things might happen to my family, like my mother and father, because I love them too much. I also fear that if I cannot achieve anything or earn money, I won’t know what to do.

How do I resolve this mental struggle? By adopting good beliefs and finding good role models—not too many, just one or two every day. Also, because of my love for my mother and father, I must be committed and work with all my energy.

Recently, when I acted emotionally, a plumber took advantage of me and charged extra money for a service that wasn’t worth it. This experience illustrates how emotional decisions can affect every aspect of our lives and teaches us important lessons.

Most of the time, I have acted emotionally, but I will practice and remind myself to be careful, patient, and aware of the consequences of repeating past mistakes.
