You Can Be Happy No Matter What

Chapter 2 - Principle of Moods

In Chapter 2 of Richard Carlson 's book entitled You Can Be Happy No Matter What , he discusses the principles of moods . It states there that everybody experiences mood changes . Our moods constantly go up and down in the every minute and the every day of our lives . It is impossible to preserve a single emotional status for too long . Our mood inevitably changes , no matter how hard we will it not to do so

There are two kinds of

moods : the high mood and the low mood . If we are in the highest of our moods , we look at life as something so wonderful Everything around us is bright and all problems are just too easy to solve .

Life suddenly feels hard and unbearably serious We feel that everybody around us is always on our case and that their main goal , perhaps their only goal , in life is to make things worse for us

As I begin know that the root of all the negative things around me is low mood , I came face to face with the enemy . I realized that I inculcate hate and repugnance against my families , friends , and even acquaintances , because I prioritized the instances of low moods in my lives . I once felt that the whole world is turning its back around me because I let myself be engrossed in my low moods . I experienced being all alone because I agreed to that nagging voice inside me that tells me that I , indeed am . But now I came to know that that is only my mind changing perspectives , because I am going through the shifts of moods

What I really should have done is to let this episode of low mood pass As what is stated earlier , our mood constantly changes . It...
