I used to picture God as a guy who sits on clouds with an xbox controller, as I got older I thought “How can he control everything with just one controller?” As I got even older, it became “Wait, it’s God. His controller has way more buttons than an xbox controller!”
Things seem to be different according to what your mood is. No, not different in the fact that you suddenly become more pessimistic or that if something great happened, you could still find a reason why it’s terrible, but in a… well, different way.
The atmosphere a person is in seems to change in accordance to their mood. When they’re happy, everything seems better than normal. The bright colors around them just race to their eyes and into their mind like nothing before and they just cancel out the dull colors. It becomes difficult to do the things that they would normally do but feel guilty for. Small situations that would normally upset them would become small enough to let go. Certain things like flowers, trees, leaves, etc… it all just seems much more beautiful. By the end of the day, they get the feeling that the day was more productive and while going to bed thinking about the morning that will greet them, the first thought won’t be the alarm that will knock them out of their bed, but the sunrise that will introduce them to the light of the day.
Don’t get me wrong, I know that consequences can react the same way when your mood takes a turn for the worst. If you’re angry or sad, the sleepy colors tend to cancel out the bright ones and everything seems so dark. It becomes so easy to point fingers at other people and pissing people off is taken as a challenge rather than a regret. The end of the day doesn’t seem much different than the rest of the day, the bright, chipper sun and the more welcoming, optimistic things in the world might as well have not been there because bodies are too busy reacting to the negativity on their mind.
It seems so unbeleivable that one bad thing can cause such a chain reaction that our entire days are at stake. It seems even more unbeleivable that a small thing such as a compliment can lead to more optimistic views and happier days. Well I just realized that what helps me get through my days is focusing on what goes on in the momentthat you’re in right then and there. I tend to overthink things, it’s so much easier to be happy when I can just let go an insult right away rather than thinking about it until all the bright colors turn dull and the small situation becomes too much to handle. Learning the things that will turn my mood negatively, such as certain people that will make me feel like shit whenever they see me, has helped me so much because now I know what to avoid. It sounds like it doesn’t matter but if you find yourself looking on the not-so-bright side, or not noticing the things that make you happy anymore, try consciously making an effort, it has truly fantastic effects!
