Things To Do When You Feel Low And Depressed

You are not a human if you haven't gone through this phase in life. Yes, we all do feel low at times and drift away to our own lonely zone to attain the peace we have lost. Reasons can be many, some we can explain and some are beyond explanation. Life denies staying smooth forever. So, when life gives us lemons, we behave as if everything is a waste, juggle to find out the meaning of life, torture us for being existing in this pathetic world, secretly keep things inside our heart to think about it most of the time and most importantly blame ourselves for every other bad thing that has happened or is happening during all this time.  Though we can’t escape the feeling but can make it last less long by doing few things I am going to write about. You know, sometimes words do motivate.  So, here are few tips which I have always followed when I am feeling a bit low in life –

No Hasty Decisions – They have the most devastating consequences. Do not arrive at any decision when you have lost your calm. They aren’t a well thought of decisions as well as cause problems that are beyond our imagination.

Watch Your Words – Remember, you can’t take back what you just uttered. You can put forth your explanations and feel sorry but the damage is already done, my friend. Maybe your good friends and family can forgive you as they love you but that's not how it is with everyone you meet in a day. Control your words while talking to people. No matter how bad the time is treating you, you can't treat people the same way.  Be nice, that’s the character of a strong person.

Pamper Yourself – Bad times can be forgotten quickly with the help of some entertainment. It can’t solve the problem but brings back the lost spirit in you to fight the odds. Listen to your favorite music, dance, visit parlor or spa, heal your soul with yoga or exercise, sing if that’s what you like but get involve in something that is your beloved hobby. It energizes and makes your day better in a lot of ways.

Think Of The Good Memories – During rough days, we often pour out the frustration and anger on the family. Though we know our family is there to understand us and don’t actually mind it too much but our bad behavior hurts those people who love us the most.   Family sticks with us during celebrations and good times. Think of all those wonderful moments and remember the support and love you have received from your near ones. No one but family stands with you unconditionally in all the troubles and helps you to stay strong when you fight the storm.

Up Your Efforts – Stay motivated but bring some action too. Do what all is necessary to solve the problem. Whether it is relationship issues or professional challenges, up your efforts rigorously. Leave no stone unturned.  

Communicate – Meet good friends and discuss. It will make you feel good. Keeping everything inside makes a person more complex and cause more confusion. Talking helps in many ways.

Never Lose Hope – The most important of all is to never ever lose hope. Repeat it every day to yourself.  Do you know who survives in this world? Only the person who believes he will. Be that person.

Go On A Trip – That’s right my friend! Vacation helps. It gives you time to rejuvenate yourself, connects you to nature, lets you peacefully engage in self-introspection and brings a good change in your daily mundane routine. Sometimes all you need is a little change in the air. Beaches or mountains, that's your choice to make. 

See The Bright Side – Everything happens for a reason. Instead of hating the reason alone why don’t accept it with grace and see how it has made you more strong. You can’t let one bad phase destroy your inner peace. Do you? The bright side is that you can fight odds more bravely next time. Life is never a smooth sail. Problems will come to turn your life upside down. So why not to face the waves bravely?
