Stuff happens. Bad news arrives. You have a fight with someone. You don\u2019t feel well. Your job is stressing you out. And many other things! The problem with bad moods is that they trigger negative emotions and thoughts, unless you\u2019re vigilant. These thoughts make you feel worse and attract other problems you don\u2019t want and don\u2019t realize that you\u2019re manifesting.<\/p>\n<p>Bad moods can trigger Murphy\u2019s Law if your mood makes you begin to expect the roof to fall in or that you\u2019ll never feel better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can honor your feelings about what bothers you without skewing everything going on in your life in a negative direction<\/strong>. But the truth is, the more you play thought police, the more you can catch those thoughts and stop them. The best action is to replace them with something positive., even if you don\u2019t feel positive in that moment. Taking control of your thoughts gives you control over what\u2019s going to happen next.<\/p>\n<p>Lately an old health issue has cropped up for me that disrupts my sleep and makes me uncomfortable. I used to get annoyed when it happens, and still do sometimes. But at least 50% of the time, I catch myself and affirm how great I feel. I don\u2019t mention the problem because that can attract more. I just affirm how terrific I feel and how soundly I\u2019m sleeping. My mood has improved 1,000 percent! So has my energy level, despite not sleeping soundly.<\/p>\n<p>I keep affirming that I\u2019m feeling well. I truly know it will pass and am living like it already has. The bad mood I had when it started has vanished. I could go in all sorts of directions with the negative emotions I initially felt but I know that just makes me feel worse. While the issue is still there, I do feel fabulous, despite it!<\/p>\n<p>A negative mood perpetuates more negative thoughts and expectations. The Law of Attraction responds by adding more negatives.<\/p>\n<p>Why hurt yourself like that?! Be aware when those bad moods come. Your response to it is always your choice. <strong>No matter how you\u2019ve responded to stress or illness or bad news in the past, right now is all that matters and you can take a positive track!<\/strong> The more positive emotions you can generate, the better you\u2019ll feel. The better you feel, the more you\u2019ll attract positives. I\u2019m doing my best to stay on that positive track, despite what puts me into a bad mood.<\/p>\n<p>Then the bad mood can go away, even if what caused it doesn\u2019t right away. <strong>There\u2019s a much better chance of getting past negative issues when you take that positive track.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html%20\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/>\n*********************<\/p>\n<p>Take the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-pledge\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>self-love challenge<\/strong><\/a> and get my book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-book\" target=\"_blank\">How Do I Love Me?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1895"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1901,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1895\/revisions\/1901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
