Emotional decisions are often made in moments of intensity, rather than calmness. That’s why regulating them with rationality is essential. 

It’s not about suppressing our emotions or becoming robotic, it’s about ensuring they don’t take full control. When we act from a state of calm, our decisions tend to be clearer and wiser.  

The emotional self tends to focus on the short-term, while the rational self considers the long-term.
