High Emotion – Low Intelligence

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

If you are charged with emotion, you are about to do something stupid.

Pause.  Close your mouth.  Get up and go for a walk.  Go to bed.

It will be far easier and clearer tomorrow.  You’ll make a better decision then.

Being a very passionate – and thereby sometimes very emotional – person myself, I know the feeling depicted in the banner picture…
Thanks for the great reminder, Larry!

Another option I have found to work well is to write what you want to say in a disposable fashion, toss/shred/delete that version and write the one you need to say the next day.

Wow you are wrong on this one my friend; and also very condescending with the “go to bed”, just wow.

Go, Brian!

Could not agree more, sometimes emotion provides the necessary motivation, but if “charged with emotion” means emotion is in control, then you should revisit this later.
