After a long decision-making process, I decided to write about… decision-making 😉
Decision-making isn’t logic vs emotion. It’s a negotiation between logic, emotion, and the body.
When they align, decisions feel obvious. When they don’t, we loop, sometimes for couple of minutes, sometimes all night… or all week.
You know that moment in the supermarket when you’re stuck between chocolate and vanilla cereal? And you stand there frozen for minutes, until someone more aligned gently pushes past you.
That looping isn’t weakness. It’s a system trying to resolve conflicting signals without a shared “yes”.
Once you see this, indecision stops looking like failure. It starts looking like unresolved integration.
And for me, that reframes how we think about humans and machines. It also makes me more understanding toward myself and the people around me.
By the way: emotion isn’t truly separate, it’s really how body and brain communicate. But the “three voices” metaphor makes it easier to notice what’s happening inside you
