So yesterday I had the weirdest day. I just felt off, like just not myself. Felt a bit angsty all day, then ended up trying and failing to fix something which made me super stressed. Which if I’m honest is not like me, I’m normally quite chilled about things. Then it escalated where I ended up just losing my temper with my hubby over something really silly.

We were supposed to be going out for drinks with friends, but I was really not in the mood, I just wanted to curl up and watch tv.

I could have allowed the evening to pan out like this, but actually I actively decided that I didn’t want to feel like this any more.

I thought about what I could do to change my mood, and realised that I could make a mushroom coffee with adaptogenic herbs that would make me feel more calm!

Even in that decision before I’d had the coffee, it was a positive turning point and my mind switched, I could feel that something had changed, I had taken control of the emotion, and made a decision to change how I was feeling!

This part is the magic, because once u realise you can actually change the feeling, it no longer feels like it’s controlling you.

I was able to get dressed, look forward to going out and once I’d had the coffee too, I was ready to have a fun night with friends, where I felt calm and happy.

In pretty much every moment, we always have a choice! Choice to feel, choice to behave, and choice to think differently.
