Are you in the right "frame of mind"?
 

Por que alguns dias você tem mais afinidades com certas coisas, e em outros dias as mesmas coisas parecem  tão chatas, cansativas e fora de conexão?  O que determina essa variação é seu estado psicológico temporário.  Esse estado psicológico  é o que chamamos em inglês de "frame of mind".

Frame of mind is a noun, and means "temporary state of mind or feeling; mood"

You need to be in the right frame of mind to understand and enjoy a dirty joke, or a poem.

You need to be in the right frame of mind to hike in the rain.

If we are not in the ideal frame of mind to accept a certain situation or to perform a certain task, we may get it wrong, or fail, or even hate it, just because we were not emotionally prepared for that.

So, don't ask for a raise when your boss is not in that frame of mind!  ;-D

But remember: be in the right frame of mind for success, and keep studying English! It may well help you with that bigger salary!
