The Weekly Minute - This Mood Shall Pass...

Instructions for "This Mood Shall Pass..."

1. Take a minute to check in with your mood from time to time this week.
2. If you find yourself caught up in an unpleasant mood, remind yourself that it is just that—a mood.
3. Name the mood, ('sadness', 'anxiousness', 'frustration', etc.), and tell yourself that "this mood shall pass".
4. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in, hold it at your centre for a moment, and on the exhale, imagine the mood lighten.
5. Repeat this breath again.

Moods are like the weather, you can feel like July sunshine, or January rain. The good news is, just like the rain clouds, moods pass. So if you're feeling like the January rain, remember that behind the cloud the blue sky is there, waiting to be seen again.

-If you've been under a cloud for a long period of time, and you can't seem to get out from under it, contact me to see how we can shift it together.
