Are Emotions Contagious?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sneeze Have you ever had your good mood sucked out of you after a conversation with an angry or depressed person? If so, that’s because emotions can be contagious, just like the flu. And the more sensitive you are, the more susceptible you are to “catching” other people’s feelings.

Most of us are happy to get swept away by a friend’s enthusiasm, but holding steady in the face of a complaining boss or a dejected mate isn’t so easy. So how can you relate, and even be helpful to others without soaking up their bad mood?


Tip of the Month
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How To Avoid Catching A Bad Mood:
  • Find the feeling: Ask yourself, “Is this bad feeling coming from me or the people I’m around?” “Did this bad mood come on suddenly?”
  • Relax: During your conversation, take deep breaths and allow your muscles to soften and become loose. This will lessen the building tension that leads to a bad mood.
  • Time Out: Excuse yourself to go to the bathroom or take a walk. You don’t need to abandon your partner; just give yourself a break to recharge your battery.
