Pep Talk: How are you feeling, darling? Happy, I hope. If you aren’t feeling happy yet, now is the time to change your mind. Why let something awful from the past piss all over your present? This is a brand new moment. Decide to be happy. It’s easier than it sounds.
Today remind yourself: My mood is up to me.

I love the way you put “WHY LET THE PAST PISS ALL OVER YOUR PRESENT” it made me laugh. But you`re absolutley right My mood is up to me just like yours is up to you and everyone else`s is up to them.
MY MOOD IS UP TO ME. going to remember that for the rest of the day.
much love Best78
enjoy life!
I think what helps me most of all…even during those really BLACK moods which, thankfully, rarely come around …I always know that “This, too, shakk pass.” …and even though the biggest part of you might not believe it…it DOES pass. Sometimes just ‘letting it go’ (but not feeding it!) brings out the mood change the quickest.
ok…can we say: SHALL pass….???
So true! I’m trying to instill this in my children in hopes that they have a healthy positive life. SO much depends on our attitude and perception of things. Thank you for your words!
My mood and energy are up to me.
I claim this today and it is so.
I can remember at my job I was told I care 'too much' ... I'm too kind... etc. It was said in -a 'you're wasting your time and energy -way.
result: I had to detach to serve the way that felt right to me.... I continued doing those very things that I was told was a waste of time... and ... dismissed the 'times are changing...' 'don't need to be that way'... While it was truly appreciated by those I assisted... there was still this looming criticism from some that I received a paycheck with me about caring... I tried to tell myself-they are a bit younger...they don't get it.... It wasn't good for me to judge them... that energy didn't serve me .
So I just did my thing, surrendered and believed... that people mattered and all were important no matter what!
Now many years later -they have actually made it a 'rule' ... a foundation to connect with others 'in a similar fashion'...that I have...
A rule mind you! To be kind! To share connection. Anyway I needed to 'not listen' to some in my organization... I needed to trust my heart..Trust not only was I doing the best I can, I was exceeding in an area that some didn't recognize as 'needed; and now seen as a must.
I'm grateful I trust my heart. I'm grateful my mood and my energy are up to me

article Our Inner Obstacles to FeelingGood
Something we probably all know, but usually forget to acknowledge however, is that we have the power to consciously evoke any emotional state within ourselves, whenever we choose to. This is what’s known as the ‘proactive’ context for experiencing emotions.
In contrast to this is the far more common ‘passive’ context for experiencing emotions – we’re more used to emotions arising within us as primarily passive reactions to stimuli. When stimuli occur, such as external circumstances or internal thoughts, various kinds of emotions passively and spontaneously arise in us in response, depending on the severity or impact of the events or thoughts.
However, it’s possible to experience emotions in a proactive manner – it’s as simple as making the choice to do so. We can affect a change in how we feel as quickly as we’re able to consciously change the object of our mental focus.
Here’s a quick demonstration of this: Wherever you are right now, take five seconds to stop and invoke an emotion of gratitude within yourself…Actively feel inside yourself a deep-seated feeling of thankfulness to God or to the universe, for some happy experience that you can remember from your past, or for a desirable circumstance in your life now…
Okay, now come back. If you participated in this demo, notice how quickly and easily that you were able to create an emotional state – assisted by choosing a particular object of focus. You can just as easily invoke in yourself any other empowering emotion, such as fulfillment, determination, confidence, joy, freedom, etc., merely by bringing to mind a strong enough memory from your past, or a thought from your imagination, which corresponds to the emotional state you wish to experience. happiness, freedom, fun, joy, etc. to read more

I like your question. I've given up on too many people wanting to know if I'm happy or sad... The most important person to me that can ask that question that I would like them to stick around for the answer is me.
It's icing on the cake -when we others just love us as we love ourselves. I've had some tremendous icing in my life- though I understand more than ever how valuable validating ourselves is to have, to do , to be anything. (even to give to others)...
Sometimes it doesn't feel like a choice... Though picking just a little better feeling thought is a very good beginning
BE YOU
I efficiently transition into each new activity, fully knowing and trusting that my consciousness will adapt, overcome, and enjoy each present circumstance.
