Ever been told that emotions don’t belong in decision-making? In this episode, Kim Korte breaks down why that’s simply not true. After attending a two-day workshop where the host claimed that goals should be devoid of emotion, Kim shares three compelling reasons why emotions are essential to every mindful thought, decision, and goal you set.
🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode:
1. Why neuroscientist Antonio Damasio believes emotions are critical to rational decision-making.
2. How thoughts are built from what you know—and why emotions are baked into the process.
3. The surprising connection between memories and emotions, featuring a hilarious potty-training story that proves feelings shape preferences in unexpected ways (yes, even favorite colors!).
💡 Key Takeaway:
Emotions are not the enemy of rational thinking; they’re the engine driving your decisions. Ignoring them? That’s like trying to drive a car without an engine.
