just something I am taking into consideration
I have realized now that my mood by propensity dips low, I don't know if it's from habit or nature - but I am keeping aware of this moods shift and mitigating its impact. I am using this awareness to contextualize my moods and so they are not overtaking me.
I am also realizing the power diet has on my moods and will start to look into creating a diet that is "even mood" inspiring. I know alcohol used to inspire the mood downward and now I also see that sugar can either pitch the mood up or spike it down too. When I wasn't aware of what was happening the "moodiness" would become overpowering and it would blind side me. I would become sunken in that water of the mood while not even thinking to ask - where did this come from?
I know just the cognitive awareness has really helped me. I can now ask myself questions that can, again, contextualize my mood, lessen it's power over me and also seek out things that are of what I am really wanting.
I wanted to share this. I am looking still into a diet and also figuring out other aims that I think will be of benefit.

Diet plays a HUGE role in moods! Eat lots of veggies!
Thanks Swordy! If I ever do eat poorly I can be fortified about where that bad mood is coming from. Thanks.
I will try to watch the sugar intake and fried stuff too.
Omega-3 as well a must!
thanks Max! I have some Omega 3s I juat have been neglecting to take them. Thanks!
