Most of
us go in high spirits, at least occasionally. That's
great! But many experience downswing and that too
quite frequently to put them in low spirits. It's for
turning around such moods that we must start managing
moods before they cloud our life to make it appear a
dark shadow. |

Getting
used to the downside of thinking is so subtle that one
is caught unawares. It's this unawareness that allows
our down spirits advance like a tide. We must tide
over such situations by putting a stop the very moment
the down feelings start. Haven't we seen tides being
stopped from invading the shores with the help of
blocks or even a wall? Similarly we need to block our
down moods using our “awareness” as a wall. Just as
waves recede or return on striking a wall, likewise we
can reverse our mood by turning the same energy to
solutions. It may be by talking out to others for
guidance or help. Thus outcome is that the gravity of
situation becomes diluted or lighter helping us
towards the next step of action for solution or
alternatives. The best one achieves is changing from a
confused state of mind to a state of clarity. |

The
great advantage of this approach of acceptance has
many benefits. Firstly, we remain alert enough to use
our mind clearly instead of being pulled down by
situations. Secondly, it helps us to keep our energies
undiminished. Thirdly, our neutral state of mind
enhances our energy level to resolve the situation.
Thus you can manage your moods by use of mind. The 3
key words are (1) STOP worrying (2) ACCEPT the
situation (3) UTILIZE energy saved from worrying and
instead work towards finding a definite solution.

These
are easy steps “to Manage Moods through OWN mind”. All
one needs is to start understanding and moving in THIS
direction. And lastly all good things are easy but
they appear hard for they are done for the first time,
and by doing them as a practice, they become our
“natural” easy routine. So let's begin managing our
moods through our mind by modifying our reaction
through awareness and action thus driving away the
blues. |
