Anticipated emotions (how we expect to feel about the outcome of our decisions) can help and inform our decision-making process by allowing us to consider the future consequences of our actions. Current emotional states, however, can bias and harm decision-making by clouding our judgment and leading us to make decisions based on how we feel in the moment rather than on rational considerations.
