Who's really in control?
Your mind or your emotions?
When we decide, we often let our excitement, fear, or trust take the lead.
If something feels “right,” we assume it is… even without all the facts!
That’s the Affect Heuristic at work!
Why do we do this?
It’s simple, our brains constantly process vast amounts of information, so they use emotions as a quick shortcut to save mental energy.
In many situations, this works fine.
But in complex or high-stakes decisions, we might avoid helpful options because they feel “off” or jump into things that seem good but aren’t.
So, what do you prefer : feelings or logic?

👁️First impression can trick us into making bad decisions.
It’s called the Halo Effect.
When we notice one positive trait such as charm or appearance, we often assume someone is skilled, trustworthy, or kind…
Even if there’s no proof! 🤔
Why does this happen?
Our brains crave shortcuts. When we notice one strong trait, we subconsciously “fill in the blanks” with other positives, such as intelligence or reliability.
Paradigm shift:
👀 The Halo Effect shapes how we see leaders, influencers, and even friends.
👀 Companies use this to boost sales. A celebrity endorsement makes us assume the product is good because we already like the person.
