You may not realize it, but emotions create a larger impact on your life than you may think. They can form moods that stick around for days or even weeks. Our moods work positively with us, but a lot of times, we find they work against us. If we’re caught in a negative mood for too long, we tend to sink into patterns of equally negative thought.
