Your moods
How are your moods affected by stimuli around you? I admit this is one lesson I have to learn. Need to learn that many things happen beyond our control, but we do control how we react to them. Our reactions include:
The initial feelings we had upon reception
Our reaction to overcome that feeling that follows.
If I had a minor car accident, I will feel bad. Yes, I can control that feeling, but more likely the length, rather than stopping the whole reaction. I can choose to sulk over it the whole week, or sulk over it and get over it in a day. After that, I can be a wet blanket over people around me, or I can find out how to prevent this from happening, and then move on with life.
