Many people are familiar with the feeling when the mood suddenly dropped, and then after a while it also rose sharply. Imbalance, emotional instability poisons the life of the person himself, and also makes it difficult to communicate with other people, especially close ones. How to deal with mood swings?
Step one - understand the cause of your mood swings
Try to look into your soul and honestly answer the question: on whom or what does my good or bad mood depend on? If you have a strong emotional attachment to someone, it may well be that their attitude and actions strongly influence your mood. This state is especially typical for lovers, when all feelings are heightened to the limit, and emotions flow over the edge. From one word and even the intonation of your loved one, your mood can fluctuate dramatically from despondency to euphoria.
Think about whether you have a psychological dependence on the opinion of your boss or the attitude of colleagues or on your own success at work. When you receive praise, gratitude, material encouragement, you are elated and ready for new labor exploits. And failures, which, undoubtedly, happen to any person, knock you out of the rut sharply and for a long time.
You need to understand that your own bad habits and addictions greatly affect the sharp change in mood: it can be alcohol, cigarettes, gambling addiction, dependence on the Internet, including virtual communication in social networks, etc. You yourself, perhaps, notice that when there is no opportunity to immediately satisfy your passion, the mood automatically deteriorates. And as soon as you get what you want, your mood immediately improves.
Step two - take steps to stabilize your mood
If you can figure out the causes of mood swings, the most important thing now is to learn how to deal with them. Making an appointment with a specialist - a psychotherapist, psychologist or even a neuropathologist - would be the most correct and civilized way out of the situation. Experts, by the way, will help you understand the true causes of mood swings, if you yourself could not do it. Skilled intervention of doctors, possibly with the use of the necessary medications, will be able to bring you out of an unstable mental state.
There is a wonderful and proven way to "charge" yourself for an even and positive mood from the very morning and for the whole day. Self-training is simple and very effective! In the morning you need to read several simple and at the same time "magic" formulations, and it is better to say them out loud in a firm, confident tone. You can do this several times a day, especially when you feel that your mood has begun to deteriorate.
These can be statements of this type: “I am calm and benevolent. I am absolutely calm. I am not dependent on external circumstances. No one and nothing can unsettle me. Nobody and nothing can interfere with my complacent attitude. No matter what happens during the day, I remain calm, balanced, confident. My nerves are as strong as a rope. My psyche is strong and indestructible."
You yourself can compose the most suitable phrases for yourself. The main thing in auto-training is regularity and confidence in what you say.
