Throughout the day all of us generally go through a wide variety of emotions.  These are driven largely by what is going on around you coupled with your disposition.   Why not try to make those emotions consistently positive.

Fell out of Bed on the Wrong Side

Intuitively we recognize that predisposition, can greatly affect how we will feel and so we react according to that predisposition, regardless to some extent of the circumstances.

If you had a bad sleep, restless, dreams that made you angry; your reaction to a pleasant good morning could be the opposite of normal expectations.  This could range from a mumbled “good morning” to a snappy “what’s good about it”.

In most circumstances, a pleasant greeting should be associated with a pleasant feeling and neutral if not happy response.   Your predisposition to interpreting events negatively could well result in something that should make you feel good, not giving the happy feeling it should.

Looking Forward to the Rock Concert

Popular musicians have long known a key advantage they have at their concerts is related to audience predisposition.

The attendees at their concerts are predisposed to have a good time and they really need to screw up for the audience (on the whole) to go away dissatisfied.  After all, the audience attended with the intention to have a pleasant, happy, enjoyable activity.

We are in control

While this is not an absolute, consider how much control you have over your predisposition.   How you are about to feel about something belongs to you.  That is the way you feel is controlled by you and you alone.

Really I can think of no occasion where a predisposition to unhappiness, anger, anxiety (and the list goes on) is a positive state.

So talk to yourself throughout the day.  Pep talks if you like.  Simple straightforward thoughts about feeling good.  If you predispose yourself to positive feelings and reactions it is far more likely to happen.
