It is exasperating to find yourself in a bad mood and wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to shift yourself out of that bad mood at will.
Well, a good part of my work is pretty much about that - the ability to handle feelings. Feelings are energy. E-motion - energy in motion if you like. So because feelings are energy, and energy is a fluid thing, by it very nature it shouldn't be too hard to have it flow and leave, or be transmuted into something better, more pleasant. This has been referred to as a high vibration, or in more every-day terms feeling high. Using drugs as a means to 'feel high' however is a false thing and not what I recommend, but rather the natural highs of the resolving of an emotional issue, and the natural highs of doing what you love be it gardening, tending to your animals, or spending time with a friend you love - these are the sorts of 'highs' or 'good moods' you can seek as you give up eating when full.
So when the inklings of a bad mood or the thunderstorm of a bad mood erupts (the type of mood that would normally send you to the fridge when full) see if you can take a step back from it and act differently in relation to it. If you are stuck not knowing what to do about it then ask my much repeated question - Given the fact I feel this way, what would I like to do now? What are your responses to that question? Sift through them. Are their any healthy answers? Are there any that you can start to act on? Such as open a bank account to save for a training course or holiday that you would like. Ignore answers such as - A glass of wine or a shopping spree on an already pretty full credit card, my rule is only spend cash, not plastic, until you are out of debt or until you really feel you know about good debt and bad debt. If you are angry, beat the mattress not your kids. If you are jealous of your sister in law, don't see her next Thursday. If you feel belittled by your sister-in-law, don't see her next Thursday. If you hate your job, really address that, brain storm, work less hours, look for another job that may be less pay but you'll feel happier, freer, or stay in there and avoid the person that is making it uncomfortable for you while you seek training in the field you've always dreamed of working.
And while doing all of that - stop when full, stop when full, stop when full. And don't beat yourself up if you ain't doing all of that already. It is okay.
