Advantages of the bad mood

It is a strange title, because people used to think that bad mood don’t have any advantage! However I think it has. One day I was in bad mood, I was really sad. I was pity about myself. I couldn’t look positive to the future, but I want to have a nice future. Then I start thinking. Ok, girl, so what the bad mood gives to you? And I found some advantages of the bad mood:

• I can complain as much as I want
• I can be sad about myself.
• I can find an excuse for everything, simply because I am in the bad mood.
• I don’t need to do anything…because I am thinking pessimistic and anyway the result will be bad.

The main thing is that the depressed mood gives you lots of excuse of not doing thinks, which will help you to make your dream come truth. It gives you an opportunity to just lie on the sofa and think pessimistic. However it takes away the chance from you to change your life.

So I did one step forward. I decided that I am not going to complain about some difficult situations, but I am going to rethink my behavior and how I can change it to the better side. I know it is quite difficult, because I take the responsibility about myself. It is easier to be just sad. However everybody has some kind of dreams about the future, I am not an exception. I know if I don’t change the way I think I won’t reach my goal. It is very good motivation to get rid of the bad mood.

bad weather or just bad mood

I read one interesting article about the mood. It was said that the mood is not the weather forecast we can choose it…somehow I believe in it. However sometimes it looks like that is easier to believe that I will fail, I wont make my job good and so on…

Can we choose our mood? Can we choose the way we think? I posted very nice autumn photo, because mostly this month is blamed as the cause of the bad mood.
