You may feel optimistic today, which could put you in a generous mood. Consider thinking about ways to share your good fortune with others. Though this optimistic outlook is a wonderful gift, you might also devote some attention to looking at your life from a more rational viewpoint. Instead of getting carried away by whims, you can learn to temper your desires by being realistic. A good way to do this is to closely examine your impulses before acting on them and ask yourself questions about whether following through on these impulses is best for you in the long run. By first examining the possibilities and potential consequences of acting on any whims you might have today, you can avoid making hasty decisions that you might regret later.
When we choose to balance our impulses with rational thought, we can more easily consider the consequences of our actions and make wiser decisions. Acting impulsively can be tempting but may not always be the best move for us. If we can put our emotions aside momentarily and use the power of our rational thoughts to examine situations more closely, we can usually devise a solution that will satisfy our emotional and practical needs. We can then avoid unpleasant consequences and create a more balanced decision-making process. By making an effort to balance your whims with rational thinking today, you can use your optimism to its best potential.
