Wellbeing Wednesdays Episode #23: Moods
“The one about… Managing low moods”
In this episode we started out looking at FOUNDATIONS, as one of our subscribers asked, “Where do I start again, if I've lost my way completely?” To do that, we went in to some detail about “The Thing” vs. “Your experience of The Thing” and explored the very notion of “losing our way,” as well as how to find it again, and whether or not there's anything we have to do in order to stop from losing it again. We then took a deep dive into moods, as we spent the second of half of the episode on IMPLICATIONS, answering the question, “Are there any short cuts out of a low mood?”
