H-Mood Formula: Understanding Moods and A Natural Approach

We’re human, we have phases where everything just seems to be going right. We’re handling things well, we feel stable and stress seems to be dealt with swimmingly. But what goes up, must come down, right? What happened to everything seeming fine? Now it seems we’ve hit a phase where we’re a bit emotional, maybe even sensitive. Our friend's banter now seems like a direct attack, and all of our emotions just feel ‘heightened’. 

While it’s mind boggling that we go through these phases, it’s completely normal and part of the human experience. A lack of sleep or a little more stress at work, and hormonal changes are now all piling up, leaving you feeling a bit… fragile. Learning how to manage fluctuating emotions and to deeply regulate takes time and effort, but even the most mastered regulator has their days.

Being able to self-regulate is a skill, but for those who just haven’t got around to that yet or even when you need that little nudge, H-Mood Formula was made for the days you just don’t feel like yourself.

Unexpected Things That Can Affect Your Mood

When you think about it, our mood is only part of the story. Think of it like an iceberg. Your mood is basically (most of the time) only 10% of what's actually happening beneath the surface. There are a few ‘underwater components’ that go into it, being how you feel physically, the stories you tell yourself throughout the day, what you’re consuming, and past experiences.

Here are five things you might not have expected that contribute:

• What you watch on tv and your phone.
• The amount of sleep you’re getting.
• Spending too much time indoors.
• Surrounding yourself with negative people.
• Being surrounded by clutter.

Maybe some of these are a bit underwhelming to read because you already knew this, or these five things actually took you by surprise. Apart from the basics that we already know like eating, hydrating, sleeping (this will always be included because it is essential for functioning), the other things matter just as much.

In the broader scheme of things, your mood isn’t just about what’s happening internally, your surroundings and external factors play just as big a role. Take your phone for example. It’s not just about how much time you spend on it, it's also about what you’re consuming. Was it disturbing or unsettling? Were you scrolling on social media and comparing yourself to unrealistic standards? Comparison is the thief of joy.

Unknowingly all of these things accumulate and seep into other areas of our lives. Here’s how:

• We’re irritated on the way to work because of something we read online
• Work frustrates us even more because your colleague is always complaining
• We get home and the iceberg is bigger, and 9 times out of ten our families get the short end of the stick with our moods
• Now instead of feeling just irritated, we’re upset with ourselves because of how we behaved
• Our behavior is then the story that we tell ourselves

Do you see where this is going?

What Is Emotional Regulating

Emotions are not by any means meant to be suppressed. They are meant to be felt, that’s what humans do, we feel things. Emotional regulation in this day and age seems like a very new thing and almost considered ‘modern’ to older generations. Only recently have we come to understand that it’s not only good to do but very necessary.

Realistically, an emotion only lasts for an amount of seconds. After that has passed and it's still there, it’s not what you’re feeling anymore, it’s a thought loop. The thought loop is the justification and story we begin to tell ourselves. Now because the loop has been triggered it shifts our mood and this can last for however long you let it.

Now emotional regulating is being able to be aware of the emotion without passing any judgement based on its root or cause, and just noticing it. With practice this in turn helps us be more aware of what's going on internally and gives us space to accept the emotion and decide whether we need to down-regulate or up-regulate.

How Do We Regulate?

Regulating our emotions takes much more time and effort than most realize. It is something that needs to be done daily because what's happening is not only recognizing a feeling and deciding what to do with it, it's the aftermath too, what we tell ourselves and the thought loops that we need to change. But this can happen in small steps.

• Keep a journal and jot down the emotion when it arises
• Look at a situation or scenario and put it on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the worst possible outcome and 1 being the least and see where it fits in, realistically.
• Practice box breathing, inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Do this ten times.
• Change the story you’re telling yourself and try to shift your perspective.
• Get enough sleep

It's important to note that this won’t ‘work’ in three days or a week, it's constant practice for months that we need to be consistent with to notice a change. Some people choose to incorporate homeopathic medicines such as H-Mood Formula  into their routine alongside healthy lifestyle practices.
