In an earlier post I spoke of the Conservation of Energy. It made me wonder about changes in people’s moods. Mood I guess is determined by biochemical activity in the brain. However, how do you preserve a good mood or shun bad energy? You could stick headphones in your ears all day but sooner or later you would want to interact with someone. I think each interaction between a person or a device or an event brings the opportunity for mood changes. Think quantum mechanics but for your moods. It’s all about probabilities. People and things can bring you up or down. There’s a distribution of probabilities for each event. Any day’s events are not deterministic no matter how much we wish it. Certain people trigger us, their mood influencing powers cause rushes or doomsday feelings faster and stronger than others… consider them as your mood delta functions. So how does one sustain one’s mood? I think it goes back to the physics of the brain. Proper sleep, diet and exercise increases the probabilities of a good day. However it’s all just probabilities. Inactive, lazy people in fairy tale environments can have it great. Strong active, well balanced people can live through hell. So in the end folks, just like so many things in this life, all one can do is take the necessary precautions and hope for the best.
