Episode 45: Emotions and mastery

Within every emotion is a behavioral impulse urging us to a
specific action. However wise our emotions might be, it's also
the case that it's certainly not always prudent to relent to
every impulse they offer for our consideration. So how do we know
when to "listen" to our feelings? The answer demands we pay
attention to our degree of mastery within a specific domain. As a
rule of thumb, the more masterful we are within that domain, the
more effective uncritically relenting to your emotional impulses
is likely to be.
