Why taking 100% responsibility for your mood is key to personal power and achievement.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been trudging through mood swings and a lighter work schedule. The combination of less work and a bad mood is not a good place for anyone.
‘you must realize that you are in charge of your mood 100%’
Taking responsibility for your mood is a very mature and respectable stance to take. Many people want to blame others for their mood, lack of work, desire, sales, bad hair day or late appointment. Truth of the matter is, small blame turns into a victim mentality over the long term.
We want to be 100% in charge of our mood and energy.
Taking the high road and not allowing yourself to stay in a bad mood for any reason is the ultimate in personal power. You may have to sit with the idea of this for a couple of days. Meditate and think about the actuality of this undertaking and what it would mean to you to control your energy in everyday circumstances. Once agreed upon internally, a great force of responsibility and self belief will occur.
‘light an internal fire and show yourself a personal power you may have not known before’
Another great result that comes from responsibility is opportunity.
By taking responsibility for your mood, you inherently tell yourself that you are willing to stand up for yourself and the energy you present at any given moment.
This will light an internal fire and show you a personal power that you may have yet identified with. By taking this responsibility, more opportunity will come. By signaling to yourself of your decision to take control of all situations wether good or bad.
Do you see areas in your daily life where you can take 100% responsibility for your mood and energy?
