done, which took quite an effort. Then something worked out really
well and the mood turned positive.
One lesson mindfulness practice has taught me is to pay as much
attention to my good moods as I do to the negative. Remembering I'm in
a good mood helps me get the most out of it while the mood lasts.
It won't last forever and it's important not to desperately cling on
to it - if that worked I'd be happy all the time. But appreciating it
while it's here makes sense especially as I don't enjoy being
miserable. Odd thing is it's very easy to forget I'm in a good mood,
to take it for granted, and to "think" my way out of it.
This is a case in which attention and awareness win hands down over thinking.
