“We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.” (Chapter 6, Big Book)
A response to waking up in a bad mood (fears, insecurities, etc.):
Do not think about the problem.
Instead, ask God to direct one’s thinking, then think about God. Put on a podcast of the liturgy of the hours, an audiobook of the Bible (dramatised), a podcast or audiobook of sermons, the Rosary, the Angelus on repeat, or whatever appeals to you from a tradition that appeals. The content is entirely down to personal taste and present state of mind.
During this immersion, God will speak, to bring new perspective. Do not think about these new ideas: simply note them in passing (perhaps writing them down), then return to the practice.
Within half an hour, the situation has been rewired.
But do not take an active part in this: one places oneself in the right environment, stays there, and lets God do the heavy lifting.
When I do this, I’m sorted out.
