Mood, Trait and Character – How to Sort them and Change them
In psychology,
a mood is considered an emotional state. In contrast to emotions (feelings) moods
are less specific, and less likely to be triggered by a particular stimulus or
event. Moods are typically a short lasting state or mode. What is the
difference between Mood, Trait and
Character – and how to sort them and change them?
Mood differs
from temperament or personality traits, as the latter is longer-lasting –
sometimes endures through a lifetime. Nevertheless, certain personality traits
such as optimism and neuroticism may predispose certain types of moods. Long
term disturbances of mood such as clinical depression and bipolar disorder are
considered mood disorders. Mood is an internal, subjective state but it often
can be inferred from attitude and other behaviors.
Most people
consider the character traits
described as aggressive, arrogant, bossy, cruel, cynical, domineering, finicky,
fussy, greedy, grumpy, harsh, impolite, impulsive, inconsiderate, intolerant, nasty,
overcritical, pessimistic, possessive, resentful, rude, thoughtless, unkind or vengeful
as negative traits that can come and
go and can be provoked by a certain situation.
A certain mood may also be provoked by an
unexpected event with someone who offers reactions such as the ones mentioned
above.
Moods, traits or characters can fluctuate through life in a
balanced and normal way, as long as
there is no long term - repetitive negative actions – for a prolonged
time - provoking constant bad situations,
frustration, annoyance, ill feeling and uncomfortable moments to others as well as to the person provoking
them.
Usually there
is an excuse for these perpetrators – “he/she is the way he/she is.
There is
also an excuse for the elders: “old people are just like that – grumpy”.
Let´s take this
example of the “old folk grumpy syndrome” and analyze reasons and possible ways to avoid this state
or mode in the younger generations.
There is a
general tendency to excuse instead of analyzing the reasons and changing or
avoiding the culprits. The way our society has been evolving in so many ways
and receding in so many others, we haven´t paid enough attention to the fact
that if people go through life accumulating bad energy, or not having fluid and
harmonized energy throughout the whole body - there is a very strong chance - their
body is full of dissonant energy (bad energy) as well as energy blocks causing
them (dis)ease which in turn make them resentful, untrusting and grumpy (to say
the least).
The “old
folk syndrome” is used here as a mere analogy, in
order to better understand that the accumulation of undesired energies throughout
life, lead into a state or a mode that is totally
uncomfortable and undesired, but excused or disguised by beliefs regarding mood, trait and character.
Now that we
have sorted them out – how can we change them or just soften them out?
As the
planet continues to change from The Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius as I’ve written here in this article, more, and
more people will be awake and adapt to
the new energies; kids will be born with innate
clear knowing of how to balance their energy and will teach others the new (ancient)
ways of healing that they are supposed to be bringing back as a new way of
life. The need for drugs from Big Pharma
will decrease as alternative healing will become more popular.
But in the
meantime what can one do to better their life existence, be healthier and
happier in their daily routine?
In one
shot: Clean up the energy of the space you live in, and, or work; clean up the
energy of your body, and channel new clean energy into the whole body – throughout
all the chakras. When this is done, just maintain the balance with good healthy
energy practices that may involve nutrition habits and a new healthier
lifestyle altogether.
