What is in a mood?

Mood mapping helps you know how you feel, know what you can do about and know how the people around you feel.

Just about everything changes the way we feel, and almost everyone likes to feel better. Mood is affected by five keys, surroundings, physical health, relationships, knowledge and nature.





Joanna Lumley and the ghurkas is a "feel good" story - we have a relationship with Joanna Lumley, who fought their corner against the wicked Government. Ghurkas who have served this country, can stay here if they want to.

This a feel good relationships story with a happy ending and we feel good for reading it

This, on the other hand, is not such a good story

MPs urge rail franchise reforms
The report called National Express's rail operation a 'high profile failure'
The rail franchise system is "a muddle" which allows train companies to "take advantage" of passengers and needs reform, a report by MPs has warned.

Bad trains are dirty and smelly and we know we are being ripped off. We read it because we want to know how badly we are being ripped off, and want to know what else can go wrong in our lives? As there is not a lot we can do, impotence adds to anxiety. There is something fascinating and irrestible about anxiety, the charm of mulling over unpleasant thoughts, at least while we can worry we are still alive! It shows we still care. Cept worrying is not good for us.

To be honest, unless you travel on trains and can be bothered to fill in a complaints form, there is not a lot point reading that story. But Joanna Lumley is third on the page, after Afghanistan and trains.

It matters what you read, because that affects how you feel. And how you feel decides how you think and what you pay attention to. If you are in a good mood, you pay attention to good things, and in a bad mood bad things. Given the popularity of bad news stories, this suggests that most of us are feeling anxious most of the time. Feeling anxious most of the time is not good for mind or body

If you want to feel better, you have five ways to do it.
Change your surroundings, improve your health, improve your relationships, learn how to do it better and be true to you!
