How Useful Are Your Feelings?
Summary
- I've often found that my feelings aren't reliable for making decisions. They can sometimes point me in the wrong direction.
- It's important to recognize that just because you feel a certain way, doesn't mean it's true. For instance, you might feel like you can't continue, but in reality, you can push through.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with understanding that feelings can mislead you. When making decisions, it's important not to rely only on how you feel. For example, if you think you can't work any longer, remind yourself that your feelings might not be accurate. Instead, focus on what you've actually accomplished, and use that as a guide to what you can do.
A good way of doing this is by keeping a success journal. Each day, write down what you've achieved. It can be small things like sending out an important email or big things like landing a new client. This will help you see the evidence of your capabilities when you're feeling unsure.
Besides, I recommend creating a logical decision-making process. Whenever you face a tough choice, list the pros and cons and examine the facts. This keeps you from making quick choices based just on emotions.
Also, talk to others about your feelings. They can offer a different perspective that might be more logical. This could be a friend, family member, or mentor. Just sharing your concerns can help you see things more clearly and make better decisions.
Lastly, when you feel overwhelmed, take a short break. A walk or some deep breaths can clear your mind. This helps reduce the feelings of stress so that you can look at situations more calmly. When you're calm, it's easier to decide what to do next.
Remember, your feelings are not always the truth. They're just one part of your experience. Checking them with evidence and logic will help you make better choices for your small business or personal growth.
