Just as our clothing projects a message to others, so too does the psychological attitude or “outfit” that we “wear” on any given day.

If someone is in a bad mood, particularly a crabby one, we don’t need to be psychologists to decide we should avoid them.

In most instances, our mood can be a choice, albeit not always an easy one.
We can be:

Tolerant, or easily irritated

Helpful to others, or self-centred

Thankful for what we have or upset at what we don’t have

Cheerful, or sullen and morose

Quick to judge, or open-minded

It’s all part of the difficult internal work we do in our personal development and self-actualization efforts.
