The quality of your thinking suffers greatly when you are in low mood.When you feel bad, it is absolutely predictable that you will think in a negative way.The lower your mood,the more intense will be your negative thoughts.The thoughts about your life when you are experiencing a low mood will be very different from the thoughts you will have when you are experiencing a higher mood.In low moods your thinking is always dark and pessimistic.If you look into your past when you are low you will see a painful past,your life will seem to have been a waste.If you look towards a future, your life will appear hopeless.Interestingly, When you look to your past when your mood is higher,it appears far happier than it did in a lower mood.The same is true with regards to your future.The higher the mood, the more hopeful it appears.
Low moods aren't really problems in and of themselves. Of course they're difficult, and no one likes them, but they can't harm you if you know whats going on. The real problem is the thinking and mental activity that accompany the low mood.Ignoring the negative thoughts you have while you are in low mood is not denial, nor is it dangerous or irresponsible.Your problems, if they are real will still be there when your mood goes up.The only difference will be that you will be more equipped to solve them.
Its your understanding that moods are a natural fact of life that will bring you out of a low mood.Accepting the fact that you are low, but at the same time realizing that your mood will rise on its own, allows the darkness to lift.The truth is, you don't have to do anything.In fact,the less you do the better off you'll be.Your mood will begin to lift as you stop paying attention to all that you think about when you are low, and you begin to ignore the thoughts and feelings you are having.Don't make the mistake of believing you will become a pathetic if you implement this understanding in your life.Far from it.As your mood lifts, you will become far more immersed and more present in your life.Any Real problem you may have will most certainly still be there, but you will be far more equipped to deal with them.You are not ignoring your life or problems, your are simply ignoring your distorted thinking.
