Moods

I've found that I have strange moods. And that I can switch in and out of moods really fast, on the simplest things. I've also found, recently, that I do have some slight control over those moods. It's been an interesting discovery, and honestly, it's only just starting. There's still so much more for me to learn about myself and my moods.

One minute, I can be in a complete happy-go-lucky mood, and the next I'll be in a quiet, sedate mood. I might even switch into a down mood, or rocket to a crazy mood. I'm finding I can be rather unpredictable.

What is it that makes up our moods and what they are? What is it that determines how we will be feeling from one moment to the next? How do the things around us affect us? How long do moods last, and why?

Those are questions that I think many of us wonder about and are attempting to answer as the days and years go by us. We stop and we wonder, and then something distracts us and we continue on our way, our mood constantly shifting from one to another. Some people are able to maintain incredible control over their moods while others susceptible to sudden mood swings or changes that can't be controlled except with a lot of effort. It's a part of life for everyone.

One thing I have learned, is that we indeed can control, often to an extent, our moods. It's often dependent upon what we are thinking about, and how we are thinking about it. If we focus a certain way on some things, then our mood will plummet. If we focus on others, our mood can soar.

So much more to think about, so much more to say. It honestly really is incredible. Take some time to think about it!

  1. moods are interesting. and to think tat all they are is chemicals, floating around in our brain. our moods change depend on the amount of certain amounts of different chemicals. hence why when people are really depressed, and cant change their mood, then they are given a chemical to change it. thats why people are told to exercise, because it makes more of the happy chemicals, and helps the sad chemicals go away.
    and yet most people have no problems balancing those chemicals, and are able to control their moods, with little to no effort.

  2. I like to think that I have control of my moods but then I actually take a look at myself and realize that I am not as collected as I think I am. But sometimes I like that I am affected so easily because that means that I can go from crying to hysterically laughing in mere seconds...
