Understanding that emotions are contagious

Strong emotions can be contagious and ‘infect’ those around us… If you come back from a bad training session, and your family bears the brunt of it… watch out. Change that attitude quickly.

And if you run in a club environment, it’s important where possible to surround ourselves with positive, like-minded people.

Because if you are a lone wolf, #mom85doingitalone and everything you do is measured by your own expectations and starts to feel not good enough…. You get into a negative thinking spiral. Negativity breeds negativity and anxiety breeds panic, both are unhelpful and can affect our behaviour and actions. The current pandemic shows this is more than just theory and you may have noticed how your mood, or opinions can influence others.

This is of upmost importance that you as a runner display reassurance in your uncertain times. When you are calm, and stress is at bay, you will generally make wiser more considered decisions. This goes for a non-sporting environment as well.

Clinical Psychologist say; “Feeling happy or sad heavily influences our thoughts and this can impact judgement and behaviour. Of course, for some of us, emotions are easier to regulate than others and this is okay.”
“Identifying your emotional triggers and understanding the underlying cause, can help you gauge why it provokes a strong reaction in you.”
“Being aware of environmental triggers like work stress or beingtoobusy as well as physical triggers like not getting enough sleep and poor diet is helpful or poor results.”SHOWNOTES:
