When a Bad Mood Feels Familiar

Our bad moods can be so much more than an inconvenience; they can become toxic hiding places for what we are feeling and what we cannot control. Mindfulness helps with our understanding that these moods are temporary, despite not feeling that way in the moment. Rather than escaping to our hiding places, we can utilize mindfulness to step out of that familiar loop by building the confidence necessary to change for the better. We’re not perfect. And we need to remember to cultivate the same patience and loving-kindness toward ourselves as we would a child learning something new.
