It is considered that a person is moody when they are always angry, that they talk back even when they treat them well, that they raise their voices easily, that they get irritated easily if they upset them, that they manage to break the peace of those around them or that they fight over any nonsense very easily.
There are people who are simply like that, that this attitude is inherent to their character, but in many other cases, bad mood comes from deeper causes, such as stress.
The reason for your bad mood
If you have experienced very noticeable changes in your life, a new job or a new family situation, having to adapt to new places and people and dealing with situations that are not comfortable or to which you are not used, you may be suffering from stress and this has repercussions. Negatively in your character, in your bad mood.
This situation occurs in many adolescents, entering puberty, changing schools, new friends, a new environment, feeling the pressure of exams and having an immediate future that is often perceived as uncertain, produces stress and consequently a bad mood.
In addition to stress, a bad mood can be an indicator that there are feelings of sadness and depression that need to be treated.
Take the reins
The first step will be to realize that you are in a bad mood very often, if you don’t see it yourself, listen to those around you and their comments.
If you feel that the situation is beyond you, talk to people you trust, vent to those who love you well and let yourself be helped and advised. You are not alone.
Practice some sport, exercising regularly makes you produce more beta-endorphin, the hormone that controls stress and improves mood.
Learn to relax, you can use specific meditation techniques or simply sitting down and breathing slowly, letting your body and mind relax.
Ask yourself why am I in a bad mood? What do I achieve by being in a bad mood? What can I do to correct this situation? And if there is something you can do to leave stress and bad mood behind, just do it.
