“I’m not in a bad mood. Everyone is
just… annoying.”
(Anonymous)

I am an ‘always look on the
bright side of life’ kind of
person.

But recently I got up on the
proverbial wrong side of bed

I had no life stress, the weather was great,
but I could not be moved from under the storm cloud that hung
over my head

I acknowledged that I had nothing to
complain about, and knew that there are many around me, who have deep worries and concerns in their
lives. Yet I remained
unrepentant in my bemoaning.

I cleaned out a cabinet - trying to
bring about the zen of order and
perception of my power to affect change in the
universe if only the universe of my
kitchen.

I finished a bunch of stuff on my work list
of things to do – hoping again to let the sense of peace
about accomplishing something,
lighten my day.

I looked to the stars and read two different versions of my horoscope -
hoping that the universe could
offer me some relief.

I took a walk in
woods - trying to
appreciate the simple beauty of
the day.

I booked some summer holiday
time – hoping that looking
ahead to sunny warm days would
move me.

I ate some cookies - because cookies are good
for your soul.

None of it worked.
![Page 13: How to survive a bad mood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bfc3b84a79591f588b45af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Finally, instead of chasing it away,
I decided to just let myself be
in a bad mood and concentrate instead on not taking it out
on anyone and everyone I encountered.

Most days, we need to strive
to be positive, to see the good
in life, to count our blessings.

Sometimes we need to wallow. That too renews our energy and
lets us love ourselves for
whoever we are In any moment.

"It's easy to have faith in yourself
and have discipline when you're a winner,
when you're number one. What you've got to have
is faith and discipline when you're not yet a winner."
Vince Lombardi

So whether you are on top of the world,
or at the bottom of a long steep climb.
Be Good to Yourself.
You are beloved by the Divine,
for who are today and in every moment.

And - in case you thought optimism
was dead. Remember -
The average pencil is seven inches long,
with just a half-inch eraser.
