This is part of ournervous system that has evolved to help us shift bodily and mentally to dealwith threats and other things that show up in our environment. Emotions tend to run their course through our body in arelatively short period of time. However, they can also trigger moods that linger in our bodies.  The key distinction between emotions andmoods is that we have a choice in how we react to our moods – we can always bechoosing the mood we want to get back to.  We distinguish between opening and closing moods.  Closing moods keep us bogged down inemotional events and the negative stories we have about them.  Opening moods help us move on and centerourselves back into what we really care about.  Moods are contagious. Being aware of our moods and being able to shift into opening moods isan embodied practice.  One of the manyembodied practices we teach at East Valley Leader Lab.#EVLeaderLab #leadership #embodiedleadership #emotionsandmoods#openingmoods#leadershipdevelopment #innovation #successmindset #mentor#development#businessdevelopment #workplaceculture #GenZWorkplace#Leadershipmatters#connectedwork #taichi
