Mood Journal-Day 10

One of these days I will actually post something other than my mood journal. But at least for now I'm getting into the habit of posting daily.
Today I was in a bad mood for a good portion of the day, even though I got a decent night's sleep, exercised, studied the scriptures, and ate well. This is where I think hormones come into play. Things like time and not feeling like I was getting anything done were what really got to me today, as usual. And money. Always money. I need to change my relationship with money. Instead of stressing about money or the lack thereof, I need to love it and be grateful for it in my life instead of always wishing there were more of it. We are so blessed financially! My husband makes more money than I dreamed he would make at this point in our lives. The reason we have money troubles is not for a lack of it.
Sleep: Went to bed at 8:30, got up at 4:20.
Exercise: Ran for 50 minutes this morning averaging about a 10:20 pace; then did 10 minutes of pilates and 20 minutes of yoga.
Spiritual/Emotional: Studied a couple of conference talks today, prayed, and did 2 rounds of tapping, both of which brought up a significant emotional response. But I'm wondering if part of the emotion came from my hormones being weird, like they seem to do about this time every month.
Food: Did great today on food. If anything, had a little too much protein.

  1. Thanks for sharing this Denise! It's good to see a human side of you :) I had no idea you worried about money. Me too!

    So, what is tapping?

  2. Tammy, how can you say that when you come to my extremely messy house and see my piles of laundry sitting there all the time??

    When I talk about tapping, I am referring to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which is kind of like acupuncture without the needles. It's a pretty simple technique that you can learn and use to deal with emotional or physical issues at a deeper level of consciousness. I'll have to show you how to do it if you're interested in learning.
