Question: How could I support or advise a fellow student to widen his options with this information? Replacing the short-term emotion with something more productive, like attaining my distance before deciding, would've helped me realize sooner that I shouldn't buy more than I need in the moment just because I am feeling extra hungry that day. I would have been able to understand that I'm just looking for more food now because of how hungry I was, and that I wouldn't actually need all the food I was going to get. This application of attaining your distance could be useful in so many cases where I make decisions without thinking of what may happen after, because of the influence of short-term emotions. Being able to step back and consider the consequences is key in making decisions and I could apply this Widening my Options technique in everyday scenarios. Need Assignment Help?
