Think positively
It does not take much time for a person’s mood to change. In an instant, the mood could either get better or worse. Many a times, tiny little things end up spoiling the joy of an otherwise wonderful day. More often than not, we even fail to figure out why our mood got spoilt. Whatever be the reason for these mood swings, all of us are definitely bothered by this and are looking for a way of dealing with them.
Our mood depends on our thoughts. If we are experiencing a bad mood, our mind gets crowded with unpleasant thoughts. So, in those instances we either feel or do things that we shouldn’t do. We end up saying words which we don’t mean or behaving in a manner that we repent later.
We don’t mean to say that those who think positively will always be in good mood. Anyone can get into a spell of bad mood. And there could be any number of reasons for that. Sometimes, the day itself starts at a bad note because you did not sleep well the previous night and hence feeling tired, or that we are feeling fatigued and unwell. This also can be cause for bad mood. If there is something bothering our mind and we busy ourselves in doing something else to take the mind off from that, it can very well spoil the mood too. Psychologists say that – ‘first and foremost, we should try to figure out reasons because of which we are in a bad mood. More often than not, we don’t want to accept our mistakes. Sometimes, our fears about others have such a sway on us, but we are determined not to accept those. We keep worrying about them.
There are many instances when in bad mood, we begin to have a train of thoughts that further deteriorate our mood. Interestingly, we even consider that line of thought to be correct. What is required then is to divert our mind to something else. Sometimes, the mood becomes better with passing time, all by itself. Psychologists say – ‘Never trust your bad moods because we fail to see the situations accurately or react appropriately. To ensure that you don’t cause much damage to the situation, it is better to talk as less as possible; refrain from taking any decisions; and keep reassuring yourselves that all will be well.’
When in bad mood, even if you don’t feel like it, try to smile. Try to remain smiling for some time. Use encouraging words for yourself. Breathe deeply – inhale and exhale deeply. Read good books, stay among people who radiate good thoughts, watch inspirational videos and try to fill your mind with positive energy. It is also beneficial to change your place or take a walk in fresh air to improve your spirits. It also helps to talk to your loved ones.
In a nutshell, whenever you experience bad mood, try your best to come out of the negative mindset and rejuvenate your mind.
