in one's right mind
Thinking quite clearly
In one's right mind describes a state of sanity, sound judgment, or rational thinking.
The phrase almost always appears in negative or conditional contexts: No one in their right mind would pay that much, I wasn't in my right mind when I agreed to this.
It questions whether a decision reflects clear thinking or temporary madness.
