Good mood factory

Nowadays, everyone seems to be aware of the fact that you need to have a balanced diet and exercise to stay physically fit. But our mental health also depends on a certain lifestyle and mindset. Every person has their own “good mood factory”; you just need to make an effort to learn how it works. “Pessimism is a mood, optimism is a will.”
Some people may be prone to a negative perception of reality from birth. Climate, economic and political crises, general instability that prevails in the world, family misunderstandings – everyone has their own reasons to be pessimistic. And yet we can swim against the current.

Good mood factory

1. Do not fight, but learn

Fighting the blues is like banging your hands on water when you are drowning: it only makes things worse. Try to realize your condition and accept it is what it is at the moment (provided it is not depression, which requires clinical help). Think about what triggered your breakdown. Can you learn a lesson from this? For example, I realized that my mood deteriorates when I take on too much to do and then fail to complete things on time. Therefore, I need to learn how to better plan my time in order to prevent this situation from happening.

2. Do not take it to heart! Understand that you are not your bad mood.

No one is perfect, but it’s important to strive for perfection. Remind yourself: “I am a human being and I try to do the best I can.” It may seem to you that your anger defines what you are, but it does not. Our essence is light and love, but the predatory egoic self is constantly trying to enslave us. It is in the nature of every person. It’s just that some people do not wish to admit it, which makes their egoic self overwhelm them. Others do see it and make efforts to fight the dark side of their soul and gradually win.

3. Silence is golden

Give yourself a break. When you are in a bad mood, it is best to remain silent and in solitude. Do everything you can to avoid discussing work and personal problems at such times. Make it clear to loved ones that you are not in the best shape and watch your language, try not to say something you will regret later.

4. Your loved ones are allies, not enemies

We, women, cannot even explain our mood sometimes. It just happens all at once. And sometimes spending a day alone or in the company of a good friend is enough for the sadness to dissipate, anger to evaporate and our personal sun to come out from behind the storm clouds. But do not expect other people to read your mind – it will only lead to frustration and conflict. Talk to your loved ones, ask them to support you or leave you alone, depending on what you need right now.

5. Remember: nothing lasts forever in this world

However sad you feel when looking at the outside world, remember that this too shall pass. Blues and unhappiness are fine as long as we do not cross a line. As night turns into day, so will unhappiness leave us. It’s important to always remember God, be prudent in actions and words and not allow unhappiness to overshadow your love for God.
