💌 Some things to recall to manage your mood swings better,
When you go through moments full of joy, smiles and laughter,
Then the next thing you know sadness or tears are captured,
So while at times you're inspired, after some time later
You're overreacting more than procrastinators:
~•~
It's fine to have mood swings. They're part of life's adventure.
Some feelings can inspire and act as motivators.
Often your moodiness is a clear indicator
That you're missing someone. Grief can be shown through anger,
And it's a reminder to earn rewards through Sabr.
~•~
While it's not a crime to feel, don't be an absorber
Of people's emotions. Don't let their moods dictate your
Manners nor duplicate their ways of treating others.
Someone's low morals mustn't make yours any lesser,
But through them you're moved to make your character better.
~•~
Do what can make your dopamine levels go higher,
Such as reading the Qur'an, saying Du'a/Dhikr,
Napping once in a while, going out when the weather
Is sunny, seeing your loved ones so bonds grow stronger,
And snacking lightly so tummy won't growl from hunger.
~•~
Each time you go through emotional rollercoasters,
Remember to seek Allah's Help, hold on to Sabr,
And refrain from making choices until you've measured
Each option's pros and cons. Decide when you're much calmer.
Let mood swings bring you near Allah, not trigger failures.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
