Moods are unavoidable and each of us are in a mood right now.
Possibly you started your day off with one mood and then transformed that mood based on the days experiences.
It's amazing how the mood of others can effect us, whether it's an individual or a group of people.
When you enter a space and the people around you are rushed and stressed, it can be nearly impossible to refrain from picking up the moods of the people in that space.
When you go to an event where people are excited and enthusiastic, it is equally difficult to refrain from picking up that mood.
The question we need to ask ourselves, is why would we put ourselves in spaces that are anything but positive?
Mainly a mental space. Because it all starts with our individual attitudes.
There are times when we go places out of obligation or to complete chores that we don't like and we take a negative attitude and mood with us.
Why not catch yourself when you find yourself approaching something with a negative attitude? Why not try something different?
Possibly go someplace different to complete the chore and meet new people, or listen to your favorite song and dance before you head out to that obligation you are dreading.
Why not add one more step, place a smile on your face and think of something or someone you like before you enter anywhere you may feel negatively about.
Ideally, we are each in a good mood at all times. That's just not realistic though.
But, we do have the ability to choose our mood.
So the next time you find yourself approaching a negative mood, why not try something new...
Practice being in a positive mood.
