The connection between your body and mood

Yesterday i had piles of work to finish. By the end of the day i was so exhausted to do anything and i also noticed something weird. In the beginning of the day i was feeling really good and excited but as i went to bed, i started thinking negatively, i felt very so vulnerable and i became pessimistic.

This was very strange as nothing bad happened throughout the day to change my mood.In fact the day was full of good news and this was the moment when i realized the extent with which the physical state of the body can affect the emotions.

When this happened to me i quickly remembered something related that happened three days ago. I was feeling OK then i went to the gym. During that day i exercised very well that i got out of the gym with a totally different mood. However i noticed that i felt extremely happy throughout the day until i woke up the next day.

This time it was also the physical state of my body that changed my mood to that extent.

How your physical state affects your mood

It means that if you didn't pay attention to your physical state you will actually be risking your good mood.

Do you remember how you felt like the last time you had a cold?
Apart from feeling tired didn't you notice that your mood wasn't exactly the same as when you were fine? Its because the changes to your physical body has affected your mood and forced you to think in a different way.
