MMM: Overcoming your moods

Monday, November 12, 2007 – 8:14 am

One of the foundational steps in Stephen Covey’s prescription for self-mastery is developing a sense of honor which is so important to you that it becomes greater than your moods. So if I’ve made a commitment to do something, the fact that I don’t feel like doing it is irrelevant; I’ve promised it, and my sense of honor is greater than my moods, so I must do it.

But moods strike us still, and we need techniques for managing them. The advice of our grandmothers (well, my grandmother at least) was always,

  1. Get some exercise.
  2. Count your blessings

The folks over at The Positivity Blog have built out this advice a bit. Take a look.
