How I Handle Mood Swings on Busy Days

Ever had one of those days where a random comment or a long wait in traffic just flips your mood upside down? That’s me, more often than I’d like to admit. Here’s what actually helps me keep my cool: ✅ I pause and breathe—literally just step away for five minutes, count to ten, and let my brain reset. ✅ I check if I’m hungry or tired. Sometimes a snack or a quick nap is all I need to stop spiraling. ✅ I try to laugh at myself when things get ridiculous (like the time a bird pooped on my head before a date—yep, that happened). ✅ I remind myself that not every bad moment means the whole day is ruined. Most things are just blips, not disasters. What’s your go-to move when your mood suddenly shifts? #MentalHealth #MoodSwings #SelfCare #Health
