Speaking of the Seven Dwarves . . . Mindfulness Day 12

Girl, Hat, Happy, Laughing, Face, CuteMood can be described as a temporary state of mind or feeling. This definition suggests that we move through moods. I thought it might be interesting to be mindful of our ever changing moods today. I bet you even have some moods that are hard to identify. Unlike the moods of the seven dwarves, Happy, Grumpy and Dopey, our moods can be complicated and harder to define. There are so many ways to explore this topic, so allow yourself some freedom to get lost on one tangent or another, its all good information.

This is a dymanic topic, but also one that is prone to patterns. Notice your own patterns. Some people get described as moody and others are maybe described as more consistent. Do your moods show? How do you think others describe you? Do you ride the waves of your emotions? Do you fight them? How do they transition? Do you use internal methods to shift your mood, such as self talk? Or do you rely on external measures such as a walk in nature or connecting with a good friend? Today we will be mindful of our moods. Enjoy the ride!

Day 12: Be mindful of your mood today. How did you feel upon waking? When did you notice your first shift? Was it Girl Worried, Woman, Wait, Sit, Thinkwhen you realized you don’t work today? Was it after your coffee? Was it in the shower? What are the elements that effect your mood? With which moods do you spend the most time? How do your moods effect the way that you connect with others? There is just so much to notice. I’m sure you will find yourself drawn to judgment at times. Simply notice those judgments and let them go for now. We are on a mission of curiosity to explore our mood, and I suspect judgments may hold us back. You may also check into your physical body to see how your mood effects your physical sensations.
