There is a difference between Feeling and Mood – significantly influencing our ability to relate to others.

There is a difference between Feeling and Mood – significantly influencing our ability to relate to others.

Feeling involves the capacity to appreciate or attach value to experiences, emotions, or situations. Feeling is an exquisite part of a person’s equipment and brings warmth, gentleness, relatedness, and perception.

Mood on the contrary can be described as something that overwhelms or takes control of a person. It prohibits true feeling and thus for relationships and creativity.

A person consumed by a mood is like a compass spinning aimlessly in a magnetic storm, giving unreliable directions.

If we fall under the spell of a mood we lose our capacity for relationship.

(Inspired by Robert A Johnson from his book ‘HE’)
