Never trust how you feel after 9 pm.

"Don't always believe what you think" is a valuable reminder of the importance of questioning our own thoughts and perceptions.

Maybe that’s why trusting your feelings after 9 pm might not always lead to the most accurate or rational decisions.

Here are 5 reasons why you might want to approach your emotions with caution during late hours:

1. Emotional Vulnerability: Evenings often bring a sense of vulnerability or loneliness, making emotions more intense and potentially distorting your perception of reality.

2. Circadian Rhythms: The body's natural rhythms can influence mood and decision-making, and late evenings might not be the optimal time for logical thinking.

3. Isolation: The quiet of the night can create a sense of isolation, amplifying negative thoughts or emotions that might not have the same impact during the day.

4. Limited Perspective: Nighttime limits your visual perspective, potentially causing you to focus on immediate concerns rather than considering the bigger picture.

5. Emotional Reactivity: People tend to be more emotionally reactive in the evening, and what may seem like a major issue late at night could appear more manageable in the light of day.

While it's essential to acknowledge and understand your emotions, it's equally crucial to approach decision-making with a clear and balanced mind. If facing important choices, it might be wise to revisit them during daylight hours when you're more likely to be well-rested and in a better mental state.
