Why does mood tend to fluctuate that much?

Best thing you can do is train your willpower and discipline.

Things like cold showers, meditation, NoFap, exercise all help in order to uphold and maintain mood rather than just swinging back and forth without any control over yourself.

You may not be able to put yourself in a good mood but you can at least maintain and support an already present good mood.

Like today, at work I fucked some things up but instead of freaking out, losing my composure or going sour I was just ok let's do it again. This is not a big deal. I can recover. And I did.

After work, I missed my bus ride home and I had to wait an hour for the next one. Yeah I slammed the bus stop but then once again, "Well I got nothing better to do so I'll just look around for a place to buy smokes." Ended up having a coffee in a really nice coffee shop. How'd I feel? Back to awesome. Not at all bothered that I'd get home an hour late.

Energize, convert and maintain I would say are the things to keep in mind in order to keep yourself up high.

Keep active, do not slouch around.

NoFap helps a great deal to be honest. It's great and with each day I only feel better.

And I've always found that mood is just result of habits and willpower.

Y'know instead of settling for shit "Ah man now my day is ruined. This shit sucks. Fucking hell. Goddamn it motherfucker." You just brush it off. You can't do anything about it so stop thinking about it and turning it into a shitstorm. With a negative mindset you can pretty much ruin the rest of your day with the tiniest little thing.

What could I have done after I fucked up at work? jack shit. It's fucked up. Redo it or don't.

What could I have done after missing the bus? jack fucking shit. I missed it. I have an hour to kill. That's end of the story. I can either go sour as fuck or just relax and deal with it.

I have a feeling that we all tend to fluctuate. We are human after all, and I'm guessing the brain can't handle life at a 10 out of 10 at all times. I think our moods tend to follow what we really want at any given moment. You could use those times as opportunities to journal and ask yourself what you want. Sometimes when I just open a note pad document and write about where I'm at, a different voice comes out and lets me know where I'm at vs. my internal voice swimming around in thoughts all day. I think that would help you feel more aligned with what you want deep down in any given moment. Feel free to PM me if you need some more motivation though!

I don't worry about my mood, provided I remain congruent with it, you can feel lower in energy most certainly, but shouldn't stop you from being a good person. I myself am never full steam all the time, despite being hyperactive a majority of the time but keep a good mind set

It could be blood sugar drops. Those will dampen your mood. to combat them just try not to eat tons of carbs in one sitting and if you get a dip to snack on some carbs. Or do a ketogenic diet.

It could also be a caffeine crash. If I have a big one I'm ruined for a while. I can't even make conversation with my friends or family. Sometimes I'm just tired sometimes it makes my mood horrible. To combat this avoid drink a lot of caffeine in one sitting so I won't have a strong crash later on.

Why do you need to combat it? Just let it run its course. Do you think you are going into a serious depressive episode? If so get help from a shrink... otherwise just wait a few days until your mood lifts. I am not sure I understand what the problem is.
