Who's in Charge of Your Mood - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Who is in charge of your mood today?

• Your dog, who woke you up when he chased his tail at 3:47 this morning and you couldn’t get back to sleep?
• Your cat, who stalks and kills imaginary demons all night long?
• The leg of the bedside chest you stubbed your toe on as you got out of bed?

Those can all be a reason for your mood to dip, and the truth is, no one is in charge of your mood but you.

How can that be?

Let’s take the middle-of-the-night dog antics, which may or may not have been performed by my dog Archie, banging into furniture as he tried to catch the waggy thing at the end of his body. Who knows why the urge to chase his tail happened – maybe he was having a dream and woke up convinced his tail was out to get him.

One thing is certain – he didn’t set out to ruin my sleep.

He didn’t wake me on purpose, and so using him as the excuse for being grumpy is just me looking for a scapegoat. Or scapedog – whatever!

No matter what, you are in charge of your mood. When you find yourself not behaving the way you’d like to behave, no one but you can shift your mood. Decide how you want to feel, then find a way to feel that way. Voila – instant mood shift!
