Do you exhibit a type of behavior or personality trait you don\\u2019t necessarily love about yourself? It could be moodiness or it could be being extremely judgemental or it could be an emotional state you have a tendency to default to like sadness, worry, anger or fear. Women often have a difficult time dealing with anger because we have not been encouraged to express it. We may default to sadness which limits us from reaching our passion and our fire. We suppress our emotions and any big emotion we suppress will eventually leak. Anger becomes irritability, sadness becomes depression and shame comes out as insecurity. Suppressed emotions can also lead to physical ailments. It is not healthy to suppress our emotions. Today\\u2019s caller Monica acknowledges her own moodiness and is wondering if it is something she can change or if it\\u2019s a fixed personality trait. She suppresses her anger and doesn\\u2019t speak her truth. If there is something about you that does not feel good to you, like moodiness, you can change it. You just need to uncover why it\\u2019s there in the first place. Moodiness can be a messenger that you may be suppressing pent up anger and frustration. It is liberating to express your anger and be free of the moodiness.
