Mood Wheel or Behavioral Muscles Training

We go round the wheel and each time we learn something new. I am 61 so I have had zillions of mood cycles and I am still learning and growing. Lately with my strict swim/sleep schedule for 2 years, the mood cycle seems more subtle, almost (but not quite) irrelevant, because my body has been changed by a behavioral habit. A non-negotiable habit.

If we can train to strengthen our muscles we can train to strengthen our behaviors in spite of moods and emotions. Think of it as behavior training. Habit is the muse!

I like the idea of this. I use muscle memory training in my clarinet playing, and I swear it stabilizes my moods.
