Not in mood.

What is mood?? Sometime I ask myself (not others). the answer I get depends on my mood and hence quite a bit unreliable. Let's see what I get today.

When someone asks you "Do you want a cup of coffee?", One out of 100/1000/more chance you say "not in the mood". Before that you don't even know that you don't have a mood for a coffee. it's only when the person asks and for a split of second you feel "coffee???" and not really solid but strong enough you get a reply "no" within yourself.

So what was that? who sets our mood, okay a better question what sets our mood? No solid answer. It might be the environment, the physical condition we are in etc. like if its too hot then you certainly would turn the offer down for the coffee or say you have acidity then again you won't want one. you shouldn't.

But above all there is something, something which haven't take a shape well enough to be recognized that sets our mood and based on the mood creates our reaction. Let me think a bit more about it.

*after 5 minutes* well i tried to think but more questions came into my mind than the answers. To note down a few questions are -

  • Are animals too moody ? (they seems moody, I can bet on snakes or monkey)
  • Women more moody than men? (might not be true but it seems so)
  • If removing the cause of your bad mood will automatically enhance your mood or it persists even then?
  • Why does an open-heart talk with some good listener potentially relieves our mood and make it fresh?
  • In bad mood is good time to do something creative? (like drawing or writing poem)
All these questions I guess answers the core part of it i.e. what mood really is? though not the way we wanted i.e. in words as a certified definition. let's take the previous point one after another.

Are animals too moody ? (they seems moody, I can bet on snakes or monkey) 

Okay this might not be directly related but in some way may be. I think animal are more moody than humans are because humans have reasons i.e. reasoning capability, hence as soon as a person feels not in the right mood he subsequently in unknown part of his/her brain start looking for reasons for that bad mood. So we challenges our bad mood, Animals don't, They just react to it.

Women more moody than men? (might not be true but it seems so)

well need to be bit politically correct here....so here is the preface - 'men and women both are basically humans and carries the basic human characteristics so it's not right to label one gender as more or less compared to other gender in respect of moods or otherwise. Every humans are unique hence a generalization would be inappropriate.'. So now we are done with the preface, back to business. Women certainly seems more moody, in fact they tends to have huge mood swing which time and again seems so illogical that the men who is facing it baffles. But again women mood too have some really subtle reason for such a swing. It might be their silent and closed reaction to any feelings like jealousy, insecurity, possessiveness etc.(in etc add the positive traits).

If removing the cause of your bad mood will automatically enhance your mood or it persists even then?

No, it doesn't. bad mood is a zone where we get in due to some unrealized reasons and unsatisfied conditions. Now even when the reasons are gone we are not able to automatically come back to our normal state. Why? Since in the first place we never really knew that what exactly was the reason for our bad mood entirely. Hence even if it's gone we tends to keep asking what's the reason for my bad mood and the answer we get is "not feeling right". So even the reason is gone we are not totally sure of it and hence need some kind of pull to get out of zone, If you don't get the pull, you would get out of that zone due to sheer boredom in that peculiar situation specially since it doesn't make proper sense.


Why does an open-heart talk with some good listener potentially relieves our mood and make it fresh?

I think an open heart talk is by far the best way to get out of bad mood without even realizing that you are getting out of it. Every human is a potential chatter, some of us control it or don't realize it. But talking to someone give us a feeling of confidence and attachment that someone is understanding you and hence there is a connection.This connection is a positive tickling vibes and that's why perhaps it feels good to talking to someone with whom you have no inhibition or insecurities. How to find that person? Most of us knows who that person is, just that we are not sure. So when in bad mood give that person an opportunity to be a good listener or at least talker. Good chance you would come out with a smile on your heart.


In bad mood is good time to do something creative? (like drawing or writing poem)

Might be, might not well be true but there are two points. Why?? it would make you feel better to do something creative or the outcome (drawings or poems) will be better? Former is sort of surity, later is more fancy than realistic however can't deny it outright. All those creative thing is nothing but giving a flow to our hidden, unsolved, unaware , unrealized, hibernated thoughts and feelings. In whatever art form they start taking shapes. So while they take shapes we sort of get detached to those feelings and feel lighter again. A person in angry mood might make a drawing of something cruel like volcano eruption(okay its too filmy but something) and after that when he come out all those anger seems meaningless and vanished. It got a shape and it left you. Start afresh.

Conclusion?? You tell me in comments. Too late in here, don't think would reach at office on time but let's say it was worth it. Hope it would have bettered your mood.
