My friend just posted on Facebook that it's amazing how one little thing can change your mood. It is a simple statement so true and honest, especially for women. Moods and mood swings are second nature to us. How we look at things and how we perceive them has a lot to do with our reactions towards any and all situations. Someone who is laid back for instance may not react as harshly as someone who is more theatrical. Someone who is more emotional is more likely to cry about a situation than someone who is more headstrong and may get mad.
I personally love to laugh. Laughing is my favorite! However, a great relaxing day can turn into me being heartbroken just because my son decides to throw a tantrum and break something I hold dear. Your mood can change while watching a movie. Depending on how involved you are into the movie can depend on your reaction to a part that is gloomy or exciting or romantic, so on and so forth. Being pregnant or on medication can be a source of cause and effect as well.
I remember watching one movie over and over with no reaction. However watching the same movie while pregnant with my daughter, I would cry at the silliest moments. This caused my husband to laugh changing his mood about the movie as well.
How we feel about one another can also play a part in how we react to things. If someone we don't know or care for says something bad about us we are probably more likely not to have a reaction to it at all. We may shrug the situation off and our mood would not alter. However, if someone we love or are very close to would say something dreadful about us, our mood may change drastically. We may easily become discouraged or angry and start asking why. Our feelings would most likely be hurt and our mood would not be so joyful or pleasant.
Surprising how if something awful is said, whether from someone we know or not, the reaction can be different. If something good is said from either someone we know or not the change in our mood and reaction would pretty much be the same. We would be happier and have a sense of elation.
In conclusion this article itself may have changed your mood. You may feel knowledgeable or you may just feel more bored. All in all, it's amazing how one little thing can change your mood!
