About this deal

No matter how great your vision is or how positive you are, if you want your team to succeed, you need to manage “mood hoovers” within your team. Kicking the can down the road by planning to get through the next two years somehow is not going to help you nor for that matter your children. Interestingly if the offer of redundancy had come four months earlier, I am not sure I would have taken it, as I wasn’t sure how to change my situation. According to the theory, humans evolved to pay more attention to bad things than good things because in the tough environments in which our ancestors lived, if they missed out on a good thing, such as a chance for an easy meal, they usually had another opportunity in the future.

The penny dropped for me, so when I am sharing the Art of Brilliance’s message, I love to see nodding heads. A key strategy is to disengage from the negative conversation topic and switch to another, lighter or more positive subject. If the ratio isn’t working out in your favour and you’re beginning to feel dragged down, consider limiting the amount of time that you spend around people who drain your energy.One is to shower them with positivity and try to gently cajole/humour them back into a more positive mindset. Remembering all the good things you have in your life – focus on not staying bogged down by other people’s negativity, and remember that their opinions are not necessarily your own. This could be through mindfulness, yoga, watching a film/TV programme, taking part in a hobby, or even just talking to friends and/or family members. My DH has moods - I know exactly what you mean about the mood hoover, you can feel the change in the weather. If, for example, your mood hoover continues to make negative comments during or after a team brief, this allows an inroad for a more focused but still informal conversation at a 1-2-1 about this and what’s behind it – try asking ‘why do they feel like this’ and ‘what impact do they think this has on those around them?

The slightest change or new idea is immediately attacked; especially if it might require a little bit of thought and attention or mean taking a risk. Behaviour breeds behaviour…having a mood hover in your team can be very detrimental to the morale and performance of the team overall. If someone constantly uses you as a sounding board for their negativity, it’s critical to set boundaries. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. By focusing on things that are in their control to influence, their circles of influence increase, and therefore concerns have less impact.The climax is that as he is planning to steal the nice girl's colourful lollypops, the machine explodes and all the happiness comes spelling out around the pair. Ask them how they’ve previously dealt with difficult situations at work or a high pressure situation to see what coping strategies they use. They are the people who are resistant to change and have an attitude that is negative about everything (and often everybody.

If the hoover is a friend, it may be easier to confront the person, but it may still be the easier option to not. Each situation is subjective, but by challenging a current situation that may affect you every time you are with a particular person allows for it to potentially be made better.Another reason people may behave this way is that they have learned that it's an effective way to get attention. I must stress again about how this article is from my own opinion; it is completely subjective, and so is the situations it focuses on, but I’m sure most people have been in situations where another person’s mood has influenced on their own, for the worse. If you frequently find yourself in a situation where you’re surrounded by negativity, in the office, with friends or even at home, here’s our quick survival guide to managing mood hoovers. Stan and his machine seemed destined to go on forever until he spotted a young girl blowing a HUGE pink bubble with her bubble gum whilst she sat on the bus.
