I'm the furthest from far when it comes to being an expert. But being a daily writer has given me an inside story as to what it's like to recognize the face of moody ways and means. Learning how to control the steps of recovery without having to down a Red Bull or twelve cups of hot coffee. Mood swings come at us like the rays of the sun tossing light. One minute you're singing the lyrics of a favorite song then a memory puts your feet in a place and plan you can't control. But you can. You always hold the reins of choice. As much as that dark spirit wants to consume your every breath you ultimately have control over where you send your energy. Believe it or not it requires just as much power to be positive as it does being negative. I don't play a game with my emotions. I look through a window and or stare at a wall and reboot by putting my thoughts on all things around me that are in the shape of giving and not taking. Excuse yourself from the radio and or music. It's nothing more than a free ticket to anywhere without a ride back. In every place you are there is something positive. Don't lean on it. Throw yourself into it. Make notes about why it's presence is light. Bleed your system of moodiness a drop at a time. Don't expect sudden change. Let the process of being free grow in front of you. I love it when people get angry with me because I'm being positive. It makes them aware of where they presently stand. It's a choice.
