Many people have this feeling that there are always a few days each month when they inexplicably feel low, gloomy all day, unwilling to pay attention to others, and not in the mood to do anything, just like Aunt Flo. Many guys feel the same way too.
So, you could say it's for no reason. Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, maybe it's because the plans you wanted to achieve were shelved, maybe it's because things you could do well weren't done well, maybe it's because you've gotten stuck in your own thoughts, maybe it's just being influenced by other people's emotions. If you have to find a reason, it will only make you more distressed. Whenever my emotions fluctuate, I know I'm not happy, and I can't explain why to others. Emotions are just something that can be inexplicable.
This kind of cyclical emotional change is not a disease, but a normal physiological and psychological phenomenon, because a person's emotions, like intelligence and physical strength, have a cyclical nature. A psychologist from Austria first discovered that a person's emotional highs and lows follow a 28-day cycle, following the pattern of critical days to climax period to critical days to low point period to critical days and back to the climax period, and this cycle repeats. A person's physical and intellectual cycles also have similar waveforms, and the three factors affect each other. The high point period is characterized by: high energy, resistance to illness, high spirits, optimism, agile thinking, and strong memory. The low point period is characterized by: decreased endurance, easy fatigue, restlessness, slow thinking, and decreased memory. This cyclical nature is like an invisible clock that constrains the human body and plays an everlasting march of life, so some people call it the circadian rhythm phenomenon. Since it is a normal phenomenon, you don't have to worry or be overly concerned about it.
The focus is on how to get through the low point period. Since it is cyclical, just adapt to it. If you're not happy, then you're not happy. It's just one of many emotions. Let's talk about how to deal with these cyclical emotional changes.
1. Be mentally prepared for the arrival of your own emotional low point. Generally speaking, this cyclical change does not have much impact on learning and life, so there is no need to worry or be confused.
2. When you feel that your emotions are in a low point, consciously avoid things that might make you unhappy, or temporarily set aside problems that are troubling you.
3. Exercise subjective willpower and be the master of your emotions. Some people are easily influenced by emotions and willingly become their slaves, unable to control themselves. On the other hand, some people can dominate themselves and use reason to overcome negative emotions. Therefore, the fluctuation of emotions cannot be solely blamed on the cyclical nature, but also depends on a person's ability to self-regulate emotions.
4. Properly vent. Being the master of your emotions is not just about suppressing them, but also learning to appropriately vent your negative emotions. For example, in the right place and at the right time, shout, stomp your feet, or even have a good cry. After the rain, you will find that the world is still beautiful.
In conclusion, cyclical fluctuations are objectively normal phenomena in emotional activities, so there is no need to worry or be troubled by them.
