LPT: if you're struggling to make the right decision in an emotional situation, think about yourself in the second person ("what should you do" instead of "what should I do"). This increases psychological self distance, and helps you make better decisions.
Use second person pronouns (“you”) or your own name, in order to create psychological self-distance.

The same technique can also help you reduce social anxiety when thinking about stressful situations.
