Managing your Mood: Tips for Staying Present | The School of Life

Why is it so hard to regulate your emotions? Learn how to stay in tune with your mood and embrace emotional fluctuations.


Our moods are affected by the smallest of changes – from fluctuations in our blood sugar content and serotonin levels, to whether or not our partner gave us a kiss before we left for work. In turn, our emotions condition almost every aspect of our behaviour: how we respond to events, react to challenges, and feel about ourselves. Understanding just how powerfully our emotional state impacts our thoughts and actions can help us manage those effects more readily – and build a more stable and forgiving relationship with ourselves.

☀️📚 About The School of Life:
We are a passionate group of people on a mission to bring about healing, growth, calm and self-understanding.

We derive our ideas from psychology, psychotherapy, philosophy, art and culture. As our name – The School of Life – suggests, we are here to teach people how life can be lived and what can make it truly worthwhile, effective and fulfilling.

My dad always told me "every state of mind is temporary, so never act with haste". Good advice and has done me well

[havingagrtime]

What I've learned to say to myself is "it's just a mood". As soon as I acknowledge that, I feel lighter and the mood begins to lift. So simple and very effective!

[larindanomikos]

Perfect. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. As a Buddhist we strive not to be affected by whichever way the wind blows but this is a constant struggle for me.

[CuriosityIgnited]

It’s comforting to remember that moods are temporary, like weather patterns. No matter how stormy it gets, clear skies are always just a matter of time.

[LeoKelly-tkur]

In gailge emotions are used differently, when saying I am sad (tá brón orm) it translates to sadness is on me. And it’s the same for all emotions which is a nice way to look at it. Emotions are simply temporary and passing through even if we think at the time this is how our life will forever be

[swarnendu]

Why is this so perfectly timed for me now that I'm out of the storm?

[VoMAA_]

"Wholehearted amused skepticism" resonated with me. It's perfect

[alexxx]

Press F for children who were never emotionally regulated by their parents, and never learned how to self-regulate

[aqibmajeed]

"We want to be solid and we can only be air and water, gas and heat, current and front"

bemusing yet precise!!

[kimberknutson]

Yes, we often want life to stand still, which it can't do because it is life. We also need sorrow in order to recognize its opposite: joy. Excellent, as always. Thank you. 💚

[jwetzel]

Also we have to guard our moods from the slings and arrows of social media and “news”.

[Scoobin]

Such a video as this is the reminder we so often need, whether we feel good bad excited bored or in-between, or how life is at this moment, that it's a temporary state, don't get too used to it. Change will come.

[ninjapeeps]

Bro, I know... I agree, this is exactly how it is. My moods just keep change from moment to moment. I can get so passionate about something one night, and then the morning after it's not that important anymore. Relatable.

[Robert-ycql]

Wonderfully done. 😊
We enjoy the simple animation here because it helps curb the daydreaming.
Having constantly been told to "Live in the moment", the phrase "For now" takes away all of the weight of the moment by showing it's fragility.
It is an assuring phrase, which comforts like a pat on the back...
Pour l'instant...

[tayadennis]

Proud of everyone who made it through their storms !

[wallywestsmentor]

perfect timing, perfectly articulated and perfectly delivered.
