Through out the day I have stopped for a second to measure how I am feeling. Through out the day my arousal changed all the time. I choose to do this experiment on a Saturday. I didn't have to work or have class so I figured let's see how I am on these kind of days. Well on this particular Saturday all I wanted to do was sleep and relax but that is not at all what I got to do. When I first woke up I was awake, partly alert and I was relaxed. But within the first few minutes of being awake I soon found my day was going to be busy. I had forgotten it was my turn to do all the laundry. This immediately got me completely awake, alert and feeling very tense. This was not what I had planned to do.
As the day more and more things came up that I had to do. Like buy my grandparents a new coffer maker, go shopping with my mom, help my grandparents figure out what to do with my dog, make dinner and clean. And just as I thought I was going to be able to relax my boyfriends car decided it needed work done.
At each of these moments I felt something different. The coffer maker I was glad to do because my grandparents need that but while shopping I felt very jittery because the store was very busy and packed. Shopping with my mom was actually fun and calming. My dog was something that very much upset me because he's my baby boy but unfortunately I can not keep him. So I was very upset and tense. Making dinner and cleaning was relaxing and calming. But the car ended up being a pain causing me tension and just wanting to go to bed.
Throughout the day I noticed I could be feeling anything at any given time. And each situation caused a different kind of arousal out of me. Every situation can cause us to feel differently.
