Same thing, Same person, different day - different reaction?

You know I've noticed the same thing can get a different emotional output from me on different days. 

Something that got me over the moon earlier, the same thing could repeat and I might just be meh on a different day. And vice versa. Forget about different people, this is a different reaction from the same person on a different day. Sometimes it's the other way around too. When I've had a bad streak, the smallest positive evidence can really energize me. But it can't be totally random. So how I feel about a certain thing, is often relative to how I've been feeling already before it happened. The new stimulus evokes a reaction from me depending upon what my prevailing state was.

What does that tell me? I can be more in control of how I feel than otherwise. If I can slightly adjust my perspective, I can see the bigger picture. If I can extend my timeframe, while continuing to do the work, I can avoid being too annoyed by setbacks. Most importantly I can protect my energy and drive. I can make better decisions when I'm in that mode.

We all know and recognize those phases when life feels upbeat and the mind feels light and clear. Things just feel possible. We are just capable of so much more when we are there. Id like to stay there as much as I can. I'm sure it's possible to improve the time spent there once we are conscious about it. I'm still going to lose perspective from time to time, I'm human. But I'd like to keep progressing here. A couple years ago I couldn't walk 2km. Now I can do 20 without a problem. I built capacity slowly and I will attempt the same here.

I'm going to try and press forward with this more intentionally.
