The weather can often dictate how we feel, particularly in the cold winter months (it's raining outside my office in Barry!). But here's the good news...
I would invite you to take charge of your emotional health, by creating an 'Emotional Barometer' in the comfort of your own head. It really is very simple - here's my 3 steps to an emotional sunny day.
(Here's a nice musical number to accompany this thought process, you might want to play it in the background... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIqLsGT2wbQ)
Step 1 Pick a number between 1 and 10 (this is called Scalling, but we'll cover more of that later) to highlight how you're feeling - 10 being fantastic, 1 being miserable.
Step 2 Check in with yourself at several points throughout the day. A miserable morning may not mean it's going to be a miserable day. A recognised elevation in your mood, such as moving from a 3 to a 7 can make all the difference to your day, but needs to be acknowledged.
Step 3 Realise that you have the power to dictating your mood patterns more than you believe. Give it a try, and let me know.
