Depression or stress can be caused by both personal emotional experience and physical processes in the body. One way or another, even now these two psychoemotional states are called by many doctors "the plague of the 21st century."
Instructions
Step 1
Switch to another wave
Constantly being in a negative state, you unconsciously give your depression or stress additional energy. The hardest thing in this situation is to take that small step that will help you forget about the blues. But it is he who is the door that will allow you to escape from the prison of negativity.
Step 2
Anti-stress diet
Food can influence our mood and condition. Foods rich in the essential amino acid tryptophan are able to increase the amount of serotonin, rightly called the "pleasure hormone". These include dates, bananas, tomatoes, soybeans, and nuts. Peanuts and the oil obtained from them are especially rich in them. This amino acid is also found in sesame, pine nuts, dairy products, leafy greens and wheat germ.
Step 3
Vitamin bomb
Feeling chronically tired and depressed can cause a lack of Vitamin C in the body. Citrus fruits, guavas, tomatoes or sauerkraut will help fight vitamin deficiency.
Step 4
Feed on positive emotions
Positive emotions are no less important food for us than physical food. Minimize all sources of negative emotions in your life. Spend more time with people, children and animals you like. Be in nature. Contemplation of vegetation has a positive effect not only on our consciousness, but also on the physical body.
Step 5
Time for business, more time for relaxation
Be sure to rest and recuperate not only the body, but the psyche. Practice meditation, aromatherapy, mindfulness breathing, or any other practice that will help you relax and not think about problems.
Step 6
The wedge knocks out with a wedge
If the depression that has swallowed you is so strong that you do not see a way out of it, try to replace it with a stronger experience. Such an extreme as a parachute jump, for example, will help you forget about negative experiences for a long time.
Step 7
Traffic
Even a half-hour walk can radically change your condition.
Choosing the optimal physical activity will help you fight spleen. Whether it will be cycling, jogging in the park or swimming pool, it does not matter at all. The main thing is to remove with the help of movement the feeling of hopelessness from every cell of your body.
