Publisher's Synopsis
We all ride the Mood Elevator up and down every day. How well we do it impacts our relationship, our personal effectiveness, our career, and our experience of life. Most people take that ride for granted and don't think it can be influenced. But what if we knew the right buttons to push to move to the top of the Mood Elevator? Wouldn't it be useful if there were proven ways to make visits to the lower floors less frequent and less intense? This practical guide provides an operating manual to keep you out of the emotional basement. The Mood Elevator explains how to recognize when you've become? accustomed to being stuck on a lower floor-where emotions like depression, stress, anxiety, and judgment dwell-and what you need to do to interrupt those negative thought patterns, so that you start traveling up again. By cultivating mental attitudes like curiosity and gratitude, quieting the mind, and nurturing positive thoughts, The Mood Elevator explains that we can choose to stay on the higher floors if we want to.
