Blues is a sad state that you need to get rid of. The blues often turn into depression, and depression is no longer so harmless and needs serious treatment. How to overcome the blues?
Instructions
Step 1
It is not for nothing that believers say, referring to the Bible: "Despondency is a sin." In despondency - evil that can seize a person's consciousness, subjugate it, grow in the soul, destroy life and alienate your best friends, leaving you lonely and failures. What if the blues are increasingly making themselves felt? There is only one answer: you need to change yourself, your way of life, or at least change your point of view, looking at our failures, problems and imperfections in life.
Step 2
Train yourself to wake up comfortably. Put on some nice music, ventilate the room, do a couple of physical exercises. By the way, you can turn on music instead of an alarm clock by programming the player in your computer, for example, or a DVD. In no case, after waking up, do not remember the problems - both yours and others. Try to celebrate the new day with joy: feed the birds, smile at your family, kiss your loved one, treat yourself to something delicious.
Step 3
In the morning, do not let the household "jerk" you with petty requests. Don't be afraid to show a little selfishness. In the end, your child can tie the shoelaces without your help, and your family can satisfy their own whims on their own. Do not sacrifice your morning and time to those who see you as a "magic wand" or "goldfish on parcels".
Step 4
Free yourself from internal claims to others. Stop thinking about someone else's ingratitude - it is better to reduce the time spent on solving other people's problems. Do not complain to anyone, do not express grievances against other people even to your best friends, so negative feelings will take root in your mind even more. It's better to forget all bad things quickly! Better show healthy anger towards those who make your life uncomfortable. Only in this way will you discourage the desire to "enter heaven on your back," and free yourself from a sense of dull irritation and resentment.
Step 5
Don't feed your sadness! Try to protect yourself from unwanted negative experiences. Try to less load your mind with depressing information. Do not watch disturbing news on TV, do not listen to those who like to complain and tell difficult stories, exclude sad films, horror films. Better watch a good comedy movie or "family movie".
Step 6
Move more, accustom yourself to evening walks, spend less time at the computer - physical inactivity exacerbates the blues. If you spend a lot of time chatting on the Internet, analyze your "friend list", get rid of those who spoil your mood. The same should be done in a real social circle. Clear your personal space of those people whom you tolerate out of courtesy. One of the reasons for the blues is the feeling of wasted time.
Step 7
Do not postpone important things, calls and meetings for later, even if the matter is a burden, a call or meeting is unpleasant. It is better to get rid of unpleasant things right away, in order to immediately forget about it, than to think that you have to do what is called. the soul does not lie. Dump the moral burden, do not carry it on yourself! The same goes for pleasant things. Do not put off until later a pleasant conversation with a person who is not indifferent to you, do not miss the opportunity to rejoice. Prioritize correctly.
Step 8
Surround yourself with comfort. Rearrange, clean up the house and make sure you feel comfortable. Try to enjoy your food. Do not be lazy to set the table beautifully. Get enough sleep. Healthy sleep is a guarantee of a good mood. Go to bed in a nice nightgown or pajamas. Keep the bed fresh and comfortable and the room well ventilated. Comfort is an additional reason to feel the pleasure of life, do not neglect it even in small things.
Step 9
You should not bring yourself to exhaustion with zeal. Extremes are always bad for mood and well-being. Don't torture yourself with exercise, don't turn your concern for healthy eating into a fix idea, don't let your concern for cleanliness in your home turn into a manic pursuit of sterility. In general, a heightened sense of responsibility is often harmful. There is a fear of making a mistake, nervousness appears.
Step 10
Refrain from judging people, do not divide everything into black and white. Giving harsh assessments of the actions of others, you are thus subconsciously making too high demands on yourself. And since life is full of surprises and ambiguous situations, it is not easy to be perfect in it. This means that you will engage in self-criticism because of any, from your point of view, "bad" act. This also leads to discouragement. Try to be condescending to people and to yourself, remembering the proverb "A horse has four legs, and he stumbles."
Step 11
Try to let go of the daytime impressions and problems for an hour or two before bedtime, if they cause irritation, worries. Do not grind the events of the past day. better watch a good movie, take up your favorite hobby, chat with friends on the phone. Try not to overuse bad habits. You can afford alcohol "for joy", but problems or stresses should not be "washed down", the blues from this will only intensify.
Step 12
If the blues continues to fall on you, stop, move away from the hustle and bustle, think about the reason for the depressed mood. Perhaps you should reconsider your relationship with your loved one? Or maybe you don’t devote enough time to yourself? Your intellect will help you solve psychological problems, and if you do not feel strong enough, contact a professional psychologist and they will help you find the reasons for your constantly deteriorating mood.
Step 13
And, finally, the most important thing. Set yourself up to be positive. think well of people. Rejoice, do not hesitate to enjoy life - be it a good book, quality sex, chatting with friends, a delicious dinner, or just a pleasant walk in a beautiful park. Maintain a positive attitude, and do not let anyone spoil your mood or imbalance. And if this happened - do not attach increased importance to other people's problems or someone else's assessments of you. Appreciate small joys, happy moments, attach importance to what carries a positive charge, and do not attach too much importance to minor troubles. After all, it's just life.
