Letting Bad Moods Go

This is a talk (and practice) about the moment when I officially gave up having bad moods on 11th October, 2018. It's a hilarious effort that includes cats, crying children and the smell of smoke, which is a real concern in rural Portugal where we live.

Thanks for keeping it real. Made me laugh a few times…definitely helped with my foul mood.

I really enjoyed this... the chaos of life is inescapable and provided a great lesson in how to “just let it be”. (And gave me solid laughter, which immediately dissolves bad moods!) Thank you for this delightful share.

Really appreciated the authenticity, the voice and guidance of the guy doing it... good stuff

I enjoyed your talk and meditation so much! I had grabbed my first cup of coffee and a moist heat eye patch for a sore eye, and listened and felt I was with you on your balcony, with your cat, smiling into the morning sunshine, just listening to your calming voice. So at peace this morning. Thank you.

Unusual but quite good.

Fabulous.:) thank you!

OMGoodness. This crazy ride through the mess of every damn day served as an antidote to any illusion i might have had that I was alone in this. And still, in the end, we arrive at the shimmer of stillness. A perfect gift for the close of my day. Thank you.

Amusing… I was there with you in your lounge(?) like being in a friend’s house - I could see the valley, I could feel the cat on my lap and I could smell the smoke… Beautiful, thank you 🙂

Thank you for the humor and insightful points!!

Beautiful , thank you!!

Brilliant practice. So real with the distractions and testing our ability to stay calm and nonreactive. As distractions were happening during your recording my dogs decided to participate in their distractions on my end (I think the meowing cat got them going 😄). That aside, I love the concept of deciding NOT to indulge in foul moods because in the end it is a choice, yes? I struggle with being reactive at work and have known for quite some time I need to work on that. I hope to refer back to this podcast during those times and I pray I am able to strengthen my ability to decide not to react and spiral down into a bad mood. Thank you for this podcast. I love your style. I love that you are so real. And, you have a great voice! ❤️🙏❤️🙏

Thank you very much. Really appreciated your refreshing approach, humour and reference to Sheffield Waterstones - a familiar haunt!
