Management of your Mood Swings and Efficiency


To figure out what mood you might be experiencing at any given time, first determine if you’re a morning person, a lark, or a nocturnal bird like an owl. Larks start the day fresh and awake. Owls are “night people” who like to stay up late and work efficiently after dark. Your body goes through surges of energy in a rhythm. Use your body’s rhythm to your advantage.

The times you choose to do the most important things shouldn’t coincide with the times you feel stressed and tired. If it’s midday, take a short nap. A short nap after lunch/dinner can shift your body’s energy flow from intense exhaustion to calmness. Timely rest is the only way to get rid of extreme fatigue that results in mood swings.

The temptation to artificially boost your energy levels in short bursts with food and drink should be avoided. A cup of tea or coffee seems to be the easiest way to boost your energy levels. Caffeine should be consumed with caution. Moderate amounts found in coffee, tea, and cola drinks increase focus but can worsen feelings of extreme fatigue, leading to jitteriness and nervousness. Chemicals such as sugar snap your metabolism like a rubber band. It produces simulated energy followed by a dip that consumes energy for a much longer period.

Simply stated, we should learn to recognize when we are at our mental peak. As mentioned earlier, a lark peaks out from sunup to midmorning, that’s when you should do all your mental work needing creativity and dealing with details. Save routine tasks such as cleaning and washing for the hours when your energy level comes down off its crest and you enter a state of calm tiredness.

According to experts, walking for about 10 minutes will boost your energy levels and keep them high for at least an hour. If you can assess your energy levels and know how you feel at any time of the day, you’re well on your way to allowing your brain to work with your body and make the most of every moment.
