Mood Swing...

Taken from wikipedia...

A mood swing is an extreme or rapid change in mood. They are commonly associated with mood disorders, of which the classic example is bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) and also a major factor in hyperactive or hyperactive/inattentive ADHD. However they should not be confused with these disorders, for they are not the same.

Other causes of mood swings are due to hormonal changes that can temporarily upset brain chemistry, such as during PMS, perimenopause, menopause or puberty. As the hormones involved normalize, these mood swings generally subside on their own.

"Better one handful with tranquillity
than two handfuls with toil
and chasing after the wind."
[Ecclesiastes 4:6]

Some Food for thought...

Quoting from "Heart of the Artist":

We can't control the circumstances that affect out emotions, but we can do wonders for our emotional well-being by having meaningful relationships and dealing with pain and conflict in a healthy way.

- Do you have meaningful relationships?
- Are you paying attention to your emotions and dealing with them, or are you suppressing them?
- Are you dealing with pain and conflict in your life, or are you coping by denying or escaping?

Don't think your life outside of ministry has no bearing on your ministry. When you and I try to get rest, exercise, and have regular devotions, we're doing something that's not only good for ourselves but great for our ministry. A person who is healthy physically, spiritually, and emotionally handles pressure better. They're more apt to better handle disappointment and failure. They're less likely to grumble and complain or be overly competitive. A healthy self always makes for a healthy team.

(end of quote)

I believe this is what God has been reminding me when I read it... I do admit that recently, I am not so healthy in all aspects... Though I am fully aware of them, but I guess I chose not to deal with them & chose to suppress and escape from it, just like the old me...

Please forgive me Father... Thanks for being with me all these while...

"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." [2 Corinthians 12:9]
