Let Go of a Bad Mood
Many leaders struggle to shift from a negative state of mind to a positive one.
If you’re in a bad mood, and it’s hurting your performance at work, how do you get out of it?
First, breathe. Breathing can help you achieve a physiological condition called coherence, which leads to improved mental clarity, focus, emotional stability, and decision making.
Second, activate a positive feeling by quietly focusing on a person, place, or thing you are grateful for.
Third, ask yourself a few questions to re-frame your thoughts:
What else is possible here?
What really matters right now?
What could I learn in this moment?
What does my gut say?
What is a more useful/constructive/positive approach?
What is the most desirable outcome?
This will help you reengage with a new attitude and course of action.
