Chain Reactions And What Our Moods Have To Do With Them Image by Elias Sch. from Pixabay

When you are dissatisfied with

your life, everything starts to take on a bitter taste. This is one of the biggest clues that you've slipped off the high vibrational trail, into low vibrations. Like attracts like. When we exist in a low vibrational state, we attract more low vibrational people, places, things and events. With low vibrations now surrounding us, our moods are affected. With our moods affected, the way we view, handle, feel and experience things begin to be affected. It causes a chain reaction. Our outward speech is now filled with more grumbling and complaining. And our self talk turns negative and blaming. Often without us noticing. It starts small and slowly grows momentum. Before long, people start noticing the not so flattering things about you. They start giving their opinion. Criticizing the things you do. And, maybe, they start gossiping about you. Now because you are dwelling in low vibrations, you could start engaging in gossip too. Before you know what's happening, your shitty morning has turned into a shitty day. Which turned into a shitty week. Which turned into a shitty month...and so on.

Chain Reactions And Our Moods

Fights and misunderstandings with your friends and family are on the rise and maybe you start getting in trouble at work. The neighbor you've been friendly with since you've moved in next door, all of a sudden has a problem with the shared fence you two built together! Even the friendliest cashier seems short with you.

You get so wrapped up in feeling crappy, that you forget what makes you happy! The good news is, this is absolutely changeable! It just takes a bit of work, retraining your mind and making sure your actions match your desires. And don't downplay the fact that asking for help could be a huge assistance here.

It all starts with a simple decision. “I deserve to be happy”. We've all heard the saying, “make the best out of a bad situation”? Well that's solid gold advice! There's no denying that a bad situation is a bad situation, however, even in a shitty moment, the silver lining is that it could be worse. Retraining your brain starts with one thought, “Even though this is a bad situation, I'm more than capable of handling it”, and then put that thought into action. What's the first step to handling the situation?
