229 - How to Never Downward Spiral into a Bad Mood Again

Today’s a walk + talk podcast about the psychology, biology, and somatics of a bad mood — why sometimes we wake up off, everything feels harder, and one small thing can snowball into a full emotional spiral. We’re talking about anger, resentment, control, the inner critic, and that hyper-independent part of you that thinks she can “just fix it herself.” This isn’t an episode about “snapping out of it.” It’s about understanding the spiral - how it starts in your body, loops through your mind, and becomes a storm in your nervous system. I share how a small argument, chronic pain flare, and even a spilled-water-on-my-passport moment turned into a full downward spiral… and the exact tools I used to climb out. You’ll learn the neuroscience behind mood spirals, how movement changes your state, and how to shift yourself from contraction → expansion without bypassing what you feel. → Access the Morning Rally Experience with a Free 7 Day Trial 💌 DM me if this episode hit you: @iamlouiserumball 🤍 FOLLOW LOUISE / HEALING HONEYS 🤍 Learn more about your ad choices.
