Your mood stays with you much longer than you think and has an impact that you probably aren’t even aware of.
When we are in the grip of a strong emotion (positive or negative), we hold onto it much longer than we realise. Even though the moment may have passed, we internalise it and it stays with us. What is interesting is that that strong emotion we felt can affect the decisions we make for hours after the moment has supposedly passed and we have returned to what we believe is a steady (emotional) state.
