214: Do Your Emotions Get the Best of You? Overcome Emotional Reasoning Using These 4 Tips Today! (Magnificent Mondays Series, Part 7)

Emotional Reasoning. This type of cognitive distortion or faulty thinking may be the most difficult to discern in some ways because it is based on feelings and emotions.

In part 7 of our Magnificent Mondays series on cognitive distortions, we will take a deep dive into EMOTIONAL REASONING.

Admittedly I have been a person who has been incredibly emotionally driven. My emotions and feelings were KING of the show. Instead of using FACTS to make conclusions on various situations, I have based my reactions and decisions (even really important ones) on my FEELINGS instead.

Let me tell you this way to do life is extremely caustic, rancid, and harmful to yourself and anybody else involved. It can be the root of anxiety and depression and lead to self destructive behavior such as eating disorders and other addictions that tend to suppress negative feelings (for the moment). If you are emotionally driven you might make decisions based on those feelings that you will really regret later.

Today we will answer these questions:

1. What is emotional reasoning?
2. What’s the danger in this line of thinking?
3. What can you do about it from a Biblical worldview?

Stay tuned for the 4 tips included in Segment 3 of this episode so that

👉🏽 You won’t be so emotionally driven for starters.

👉🏽 You can learn to make decisions on facts, not feelings.

👉🏽 You’ll have a greater sense of calm and stability about your day.

👉🏽 You’ll be willing to take risks instead of cower in fear.

👉🏽 You’ll stop self-sabotaging with your thoughts and you’ll find that you are feeling much better.

👉🏽 You’ll no longer be prone to extreme mood shifts and swings, but rather a more nature cadence and softer rhythms will flavor your day.

👉🏽 You’ll recognize that God is conforming you into His image that you are being transformed by the renewing of your mind!
