Listen to today's podcast...
Have you ever been in a good mood, and then one conversation with your spouse can turn your mood around?
Research shows that moods and emotions are highly contagious.
We can literally catch each others’ emotions like viruses, a phenomenon known as emotional contagion.
I love my spouse and hopefully, if you have one, you can say that too.
However, the mood I bring to the home and that he brings home affects our conversations and connections with each other.
Research has found that wives were not affected significantly by their spouse’s stress. Husbands, however, experienced lower marital satisfaction when their wives reported higher stress.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So here are Today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Spouse’s Day:
Self-awareness is the first step toward bringing moods under control so that they don’t continually impact your relationships.
Make an effort to enter into a conversation in an upbeat frame of mind. Change your routines if you are irritated by the rush-hour traffic.
Watch your body language. Research has shown that when people are trying to “read” someone’s mood they rely heavily on that person’s body language for cues. So make sure your posture, gestures, and facial expressions send the right signals.
Be proactive about managing your moods. Learn a few stress-management techniques that may help you avoid negative moods altogether. Mood lifters may also include talking to a funny friend, listening to music, or going for a walk.
Take care of your health. Bad moods can have physical causes, including hunger, fatigue, and pain. Build your resiliency to buffer yourself against these.
Remember that emotions are contagious and your relationships are precious.
