Week 8: Chapter 7 — The Slippery Slope of the Emotional Yes

1.Lysa describes the "emotional yes" as a decision made in the heat of a feeling — excitement, guilt, flattery, compassion — before wisdom has had time to weigh in. What emotions most reliably trigger a yes from you before you've really thought it through?

2.She shares stories of women who felt guilted or flattered into a yes they later regretted. Can you recall a time when guilt or flattery drove a yes from you? What was the cost?

3.Proverbs 19:2 says, "Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way." How does haste — the rush of an emotional moment — work against good decision-making? What practices help you slow down?
