I agree with this to a point. Our moods generally direct our actions, but not haphazardly at all times. We don't necessarily throw caution to the winds as far as health when we are happy individuals....we may be happy with routine and that routine is what makes us happy. The routine may be geared towards health and good living. I don't particularly think you're an unhappy individual and yet you practice good health measures for yourself. I have observed individuals who do seem to over-react when in the company of others when the mood is happy and carefree. They may do things they might not normally do, they may eat things they don't normally eat.....but this doesn't mean that they will continue with the particular behavior when not in the circumstances that initiated the uncautious response.
