Many people who deny their feelings in order to make rational decisions are inadvertently making emotional decisions.
If you ignore, suppress or deny the emotional aspect – you will end up being totally influenced by the emotion. All the while, you’re thinking you are using reason and being totally rational!
The best decisions are made after taking into account how something feels – then making an optimum decision that includes logic, reason and emotion.

same same. The more I suppress my feeling and numb out to my feeling.
I’m not in touch with it and the result is not what I want…

I agree. The more I try to suppress my feelings and try to be logical, the worse result I get.

Hi Joyce, I too can relate to overriding my feelings, taking actions and wondering why the results were not outcome I had wanted…..

I can totally relate with this. Many times I have bypassed my feelings and kicked into auto mode, which does provide results… however these results have not been optimum and have had negative repercussions on several occasions!
