Why am I such a Moody Bitch?

There are a wide array of factors that can affect our mood. Some lucky people are genetically predisposed to have a more happy-go-lucky mentality overall. Others are naturally more serious or, as some people may described them, grumpy. Hearing the phrase, "happiness is a choice" can be extremely frustrating.It's true that the only thing in this world we can control are our own actions, but can we control our feelings? Perhaps not. However, we can greatly influence our mood through our daily habits, beyond using a gratitude journal (if I'm being honest, I hate gratitude journals!) .This journal doesn't ask you to record what you appreciate most and try to focus on the positives in life. Instead, it looks at your life realistically, as it is now, day to day. It allows you to examine your sleep, pain, hormones, and even the weather, for example.If you're anything like me, you've asked yourself on more than one occasion, "Why am I like this? This isn't me." Awareness of what may be affecting you is the first step in enacting change to create a happier life and be less of a moody bitch.
