Like many people here, I have to activly work on managing my emotions. I have to be careful not to let the way I feel in the moment dictate my outlook and reactions.
This, I have always found, seems to be more difficult when I am sick. For some reason, those tools that I've acquired in emotional management stay in the box, and my state of mind takes a turn for the worse.
I've been living through this virus for 6 days now, and the worst of it over the weekend. Last night, it moved from my chest to my head, seemingly in one hour's time. Add to that the fact that I've not been sick in almost a year.
Now, not to confuse my real issue with my example, this post is not about being sick.
Here's my question:
For the whole weekend, even though I was feeling worse than I am now, I was in very good spirits, possibly from the home remedy that I used which includes generous helpings of spirits. But it seemed like for the most part, everyone I knew was in a pretty good mood, and we all had alot of fun.
Today, however, it seems that everyone is a little down. Not exactly depressed, but not happy either.
So
Is this just my personal perception brought on by the reaction to the virus, is it a case of global monday blahs, or is everyone really having a bad day?
