Hey, self! Refer to this when feeling crappy for no apparent reason!
❒ Have you eaten in the last eight hours? Most of the time, this is the problem. You should know this by now.
❒ Have you been getting enough sleep? Most of the rest of the time, this is the problem. You should know that too.
❒ Have you showered recently? Feeling grungy makes you grouchy.
❒ Have you been outside at all in the last two days? There are physiological reasons that you as a human require a little sunshine once in a while. Yes, even though it makes you squint and gives you headaches. Deal, princess.
❒ Have you been brooding over your past interpersonal cockups? Knock it off. There's learning from your mistakes, and then there's shooting yourself in the emotional foot, and harping on shit you can't change does not ever help anyone.
❒ Are you wearing jeans around the house when you could be wearing comfy flannel pants? Why would you even do that? What is even wrong with you? Change your damn pants!
You are in general a pretty happy person, and 99% of the time, your bad moods are really easy to fix. Quit stomping around in a huff for hours on end when you could be solving the damn problem.
