Being Cranky & Moody: Why let it make your day?


Isn't it strange how it's generally much easier to be bad than good, mad than glad, sad than happy, or moody than bubbly? The problem is, we don't like the results later. Most of us wouldn't think of eating filth, but we find it convenient to watch, speak, listen to, and/or behave like it.

But there's hope when it comes to getting a grip on moodiness before it seizes you:
1. Take a break by listening to calming, slow music
2. Look at beautiful, uplifting scenery.
3. Consider that someone else is worse off than you; count your blessings
4. Remember that everything in life, good and bad, is temporary.
5. Be aware that God knows every situation, thought, word, and act. He also owns everything and can fix anything. Having a relationship (not religion!), with Him through Jesus Christ, leads to wisdom, understanding, joy, peace, creativity, and alot more. If you don't have this relationship, pray aloud to invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart, and believe that He rose from the dead. Leave your way of thinking and go His way. Then He'll help you deal with your problems, so you focus on what's really important.
