The expectation that others 'should' tip toe around our moods
sets up truly unrealistic expectations…and a formula for unhappiness.
How did we get here?
Ever hear this one:
"Daddy's in a bad mood be very quiet!"
Or
"Mom had a hard day, you need to be good!"
The clear message is that one person's mood should dictate
others behavior and that other people have an obligation to tip toe around you
if your mood is 'bad'…
An interesting concept - the person causing the stress is not
expected to fix their behavior but others have to adjust theirs…
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun
ideas...
IF YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD…
THERE ARE REASONS!
Play detective and ask
yourself:
1) What am I
actually feeling?
2) What happened to
make me feel this way?
3) Bad moods usually indicate anger. It's okay to feel - just not to take it out on
someone else…
SO
4) Do something to release that anger IN AN
APPROPRIATE WAY!
5) And finally, give yourself a break - breathe
deeply, relax and take some time out!
