Great article, Tim. For me, 95% of the mood thing is about turning it back on yourself. So that when the landlord pulled all that crap on you and you then got in a prolonged bad mood, the thing to do is say to yourself, "I'm not in a bad mood because of my landlord. I'm in a bad mood because I let my landlord put me in a bad mood. This is on me. I have the ability to NOT be in a bad mood so screw it, I'm going back to GoodMoodLand." There's a great sense of freedom and power that comes with owning our inner world.
