Shift Your Mood: how can it help?

How many times have you felt hijacked by a bad mood, then done or said something you regretted later? Moods can:

• Make or break your relationship.
• Get you a promotion, or get you fired.
• Help you feel better, or make you sick

Yet once you’re able to manage your moods more effectively, you’ll maintain your emotional balance even when you’re faced with significant challenges.

Rik wrote Shift Your Mood to help you become aware of how moods create tension in your body. You will learn how to: Release physical tension, calm emotional reactivity, tame your inner critic, and shift to the source of your own love and inner wisdom.
Then you’re more likely to follow through on actions that will help you meet your goals.

Shift Your Mood combines mindfulness and body awareness with insights from positive psychology’s neuroscience of happiness.

You will discover how to heal from previous wounds, and follow through on your best intentions. Instead of feeling controlled by your current mood, you can expand your options: not only about what sort of mood you’d rather be in, but also a greater choice in how you live your life.

This has great implications for emotional healing and recovery from compulsive behaviors and obsessions. Yet Shift Your Mood is not just about healing. As you gain more emotional balance:

Breaking free from negative conditioning unleashes the expression of your natural growth. Shift Your Mood will help you grasp that you already are whatever you’re seeking, not just intellectually, but through a deeply felt, visceral realization:
