Cause of Changes in Your Mood

Do you begin to feel irritated very easily even on very small things and later when you think it through, you're just like what is wrong with me ? Why am I being so arrogant and rude with everyone. Or if you're in a relation, are you two going through a lot of fights from past few weeks on things that doesn't really matter, the things that you already sorted out. You are feeling like it's not working anymore and you're just dragging it at this point of time. If it is a yes for any one of the things that I mentioned, then here are the things that might be the reason for it.

                           It's true and I think we all know that our environment, whether it's people, things or atmosphere or anything that's around us for that matter, all of these things do affect us. These things change us, some times in a good and other times in a bad way. It could definitely be different for different people but it's inevitable. We all get affected by our surroundings.

Lockdown

Yes, I'm gonna start by stating the most obvious one. If you have always been a people's person. Someone who get excited when it comes to meet new and random people. When you crave the conversation not because you search for meaning or because you want to observe them or see life from different people's perspective but you just like talking to people about anything and everything. If it matches your personality type then this could be a reason for the changes in your mood. As you are not used to stay at home, specially with family all the time.

Job Restlessness

Lockdown was just a part of it. If you're one of those person who were working even when everyone was at home doing nothing, except your mother. Well, she was trying new dish everyday for you. And if you stayed in your PG working from there, man !! Respect. But still, if you were working from home all this long. Sitting in front of your lappy or your PC, if you're old school like me, on the same place, same desk, same room. Moreover, if this work from home is a new concept for you, then this could be a reason for you. As you're not having any real interaction with any colleague. You're just working, eating, sleeping. And continuing it like this, you might soon end up with a question "what am I doing with my life?"

Work Pressure

If you were lucky enough to not have to work from home, then this could be a reason for your frustration. Just remember the time when you took a 3 day off from your office. Do you remember how it felt when you were getting ready for office the fourth day. You were feeling a bit lazy, not in mood to go back to that same place again. You had this thought of let's rest one more day, right ? Well, then here you are. You just been on the longest vacation of your life and so now it's going to take time to catch up with the schedule and everything.

                         In addition to increment in your laziness, you have a fear of loosing your job. You are literally forcing yourself right now to complete every project before the deadline (which is not realistic in a private job, but still). And working so hard under pressure and fear, anyone would loose their calm.

Weather

Lastly, if you are someone who was looking for a job or preparing for any government job or as y'all like to call yourself in general, if you're a student and you're still getting irritated in little things, then it's definitely because of weather other than the stress and anxiety that you're going through for staying at home when everyone is working their ass off.

                                   It's simple, as the level of humidity will increase in the air, this annoyance with every little thing will increase as well. If you're in relation, your fights will increase. There are other reasons as well that add to it but weather does play an important role in it. But if you're single, there will definitely be days when you'll feel extra amazing because of the breeze, specially after the evening. You might start liking someone and eventually fall in love with them.

What to do

And now as you know what things are affecting your mood and how they might affect you in future, let's have a look at what you can do to make it work in your favor.

• Let's start with the outgoing personalities. If it's possible for you, do meet people/colleagues. I mean, there is no alternative of that. But still, you can definitely give meditation a try or yoga may be. These things can help you stay calm.

• If your company is saying that working from home is the new normal then do remember to change the place where you sit from time to time. Changing your work place even if it's in the same room. Just changing the direction will give you a sense of newness. If possible set-up your desk near a window from where you can feel the breeze. A window that connects you with some outside greenery. As nature always help in keeping our nerves calm.

• If it's the work pressure that's causing the bitterness in your behavior, just take a deep breath and let it all go with it whenever you feel frustrated or just tired in general. Also, drink as much water as you can. Both, deep breathes and water provide oxygen to our body which refreshes our mind.

Now, if you're a student, do all of the above. One, because you have too much time and all you are doing is just overthinking. Second is because you still have a lot to achieve in life and you need to learn to stay calm even in the worse situations. As the world is not getting any better, not very soon.

And if you are here because of the fights you two are going through. Well, I'm writing a whole article on that, give me some time. But here is a tip for you, remember that everything is temporary. It's nature that's taking the test of you two. Is your love stronger enough than the present conditions or not ? If you two can stick to each other in this worst situation only then you deserve to live with each other happily.

Thanks for investing so much time here. Go, plant some seeds, watch them grow and believe me as the seed will convert in to plant so will your frustration and fights in to love and peace. Nature is the best thing happened to man kind. Love it and it will help you grow.
