Level 5

Very much yes. Having negative thoughts. That's why I try as much as possible to be postive minded most of the time.

Level 7

Absolutely, and I hate it when it happens. Not that that helps the situation.

Level 8

Yes. I am working hard on listing all the positives in my life so I can focus on them.

0

Level 7

Yes and I learned how to get myself out of them. It was a health necessity.

For sure. Usually I expect and react my way into a bad mood though, thinking my way into a worse one as we go along. It takes a varied set of delicate tools to paint such a cronenbergian hellscape on the heart with the casual composure of bob Ross, but I’m getting there. Happy little trees... happy lil trees. ? ? ?

Level 8

Yes, I'm clever like that 😀

Level 4

Yeah all the time. Depression, it's like a real life super power lol

Level 8

No, but I do the opposite with ease.

Level 8

I can if I want, a pointless endeavor though.

Sometimes you are your own worst enemy..........

Level 8

I'm usually doing the opposite, trying to think my way out of a bad mood.

Level 6

All the time

Level 8

No, usually it takes the words or actions of an asshat or two to get my mood down...

Level 5

Yes! It’s hard to turn the thoughts around, but important.

0

Level 7

No, not really. For me, bad moods are externally caused.

0

Level 8

I try to be on the alert for such thoughts and immediately change course.

For example, instead of trying to think of ways that I was harmed by religion, I think of ways that I was helped by religion, or I think nothing at all.

Level 8

Oh yeah.

Level 8

Oh yes. Being an insomniac with depression and a mind that will never shut off is a dangerous combo. I've found that external distractions, ie. Reading, are my best friend

Yes, your thoughts can have a positive or a negative effect on your mood. Choose the positive.

Level 9

Thinking about Trump... it is usually a slippery slope into if no a bad mood, then at lest a less pleasant one.

Level 5

....constantly.....and even in the moment i would reclaim a separate peace. I find the human thought process both powerful and beautiful. I think the senses sometimes or all the time need to be in a state of equilibrium at the same time we need certain freedoms to remain feeling properly centred.

Level 7

Oh yes.

Level 7

Of course. Almost the fastest way there for me.

Level 4

Have you ever thought yourself into a good mood?

Yes.
Lots of times.

It is really easy when you get the hang of it.
