I have ever heard that
someone wants to do something which must have a good mood especially women.
Some men do the same thing like the women too but not always. I have researched
a few people on twitter that they always do something good things when they are
in a good mood. Example if they are in the good mood, they do something
positive thing like cleaning a room, doing a homework, reading books, thinking
a positive thing, doing some positive activities, playing with their friends,
they just do what they want and etc. And when they are in a bad mood, they
change to be somebody else or just listening music, being silent in their room,
sleeping, and do not want to talk and just keep their mouth shut. For this
time, I will tell you some tips for keeping you are always in a great mood.
Because everybody wants to be different everytime even thought in the nice
mood.
A mood is an emotional state. mood is
different from emotions that are less specific, less intense, and less to be
triggered by a particular stimulus or event. Mood generally has either a
positive or negative valence. In other words, people typically speak when being
in a good mood or a bad mood. Mood also differs from temperament or personality
traits which are even longer lasting. However, personality traits such as
optimism and neuroticism predispose certain types of moods. Long term
disturbances of mood such as depression and bipolar disorder are considered
mood disorder. But it often can be inferred from posture and other behaviors.
"We can be sent into a mood by an unexpected event, from the happiness of
receiving a salary or to be angry when discovering betrayal by a partner. We
may also just fall into a good or bad mood".
Sleep is a major factor in one's mood. If a
person is sleep deprived they could become more irritable, more prone to
stress, and less energized throughout the day. "Studies have shown that
even partial sleep deprivation has a significant effect on mood. University of
Pennsylvania researchers found that subjects who were limited to only 4.5 hours
of sleep a night for one week reported feeling more stressed, angry, sad, and
mentally exhausted. When the subjects resumed normal sleep, they reported a
dramatic improvement in mood".
Like positive moods, negative
moods have important implications for human mental and physical. Mood
are basic psychological states that can occur as a reaction to an event or can
surface for no apparent external which cause. Since there is no intentional
object that causes the negative mood, it has no specific start and stop date.
It can last for hours, days, weeks, or longer. Negative moods can manipulate
how individuals interpret and translate the world around them, and can also direct
their behavior. Negative moods, such as anxiety, often lead individuals to
misinterpret physical symptoms. According to Jerry Suls, a professor at the
University of Iowa, people who are depressed and anxious tend to be in
rumination.
I take a case if someone
get a depression. depression is based on the following below.
1.
Poor
appetite with weight loss or increased appetite with weight gain.
2.
Insomnia
or hypersomnia.
3.
Physical
hyperactivity or inactivity.
4.
Loss
of interest or pleasure in usual activities or decrease in sexual drive.
5.
Loss
of energy and feelings of fatigue.
6.
Feelings
of worthlessness, self-blame or guilt that is not right.
7.
Diminished
ability to think or concentrate.
Positive mood. There have been many studies done on
the effect of positive emotion on the cognitive mind and there is speculation
that positive mood can affect our minds in good or bad ways. Generally,
positive mood has been found to enhance creative problem solving and flexible
yet careful thinking. Some studies have stated that positive moods let people
think creatively, freely, and be more imaginative. Positive mood can also help
individuals in situations in which heavy thinking and brainstorming is
involved. In one experiment, individuals who were induced with a positive mood
enhanced performance on the Remote Associates Task (RAT), a cognitive task that
requires creative problem solving. Moreover, the study also suggests that being
in a positive mood are able to broadens or expands mind such that information
that may useful to the task at hand becomes more accessible for use.
Consequently, greater accessibility of relevant information facilitates
successful problem solving.
"Psychologists have
found that even if you’re in bad mood, you can instantly lift your spirits by
forcing yourself to smile." Numerous amounts of research studies have shown
that making a facial expression, such as smiling, can produce effects on the
body that are similar to those that result from the actual emotion, such as
happiness. Paul Ekman and his colleagues have studied facial expressions of
emotions and have linked specific emotions to the movement of specific facial
muscles. Each basic emotion is associated with a distinctive facial expression.
Sensory feedback from the expression contributes to the emotional feeling.
Example, Smiling if you want to feel happy. Facial expressions have a large
effect on self which anger and happiness which then affects your mood. Ekman
has found that these expressions of emotion are universal and recognizable
across widely divergent cultures.
I research on twitter that
people who are in a good mood, they just hang out with their friends, playing
games espeacially fun activities.
So, everybody has
different mood, every time, every single day. But do not give up to change your
mood from being bad mood into good mood. I believe for my self that we are able
to reduce it if we want. Do not want to be controlled by a bad mood or being
hyper when you are in good mood. But controlling your self is good way not to
be being too much.
