#Mood  #Impulses #self-regulate #self-soothe Many of us can probably well remember periods in our adolescence or early youth when we were utterly taken over by our moods. They swept in like an inexorable wave over which we seemed to have no control. This process would see us almost wallowing in our states of infatuation, anger, resentment, outrage etc .  These moods seemed to have an intrinsic power that was outside our control.             Generally, with maturity and the demands of adult life, a complete sense of overwhelm became less and less frequent. However, this process doesn’t happen completely naturally. It is interesting to see that various states of mental and emotional distress are referred to as “mood disorders”. This signals a recognition that moods may continue to bedevil us into adulthood.             The idea that we can work with mental states and shift them is commonly found in many of the world’s Wisdom Traditions.
