I watched, like a bird from afar, as my mood deteriorated. Within a ten minute period I could no longer make a coherent decision. While not facing a big decision at all, the little decision ahead suddenly felt monumental. Life or death. Happiness or misery.

I was simply tired. Too many hours on the go.

The solution? A few moments to breathe. Or a 17 minute meditation to get a fresh start.

That usually works for me. But we’re all different.

I didn’t take the time I needed, but still, I was able to turn my mood around that day with the help of a loved one.

Are you able to recognize when your mood shifts and to turn things around? Do you know what you need to recover?
