Self Help Suggestions:
Follow the advices and you will overcome depression surely!
- Lift
your spirit! Search for a higher goal of your life and connect yourself strongly to
this goal. If you have a high ideal or your life serves other people,
you will
not worry so much about yourself. Go to church or any other place of
worship, attend religious services.
- Keep
a journal! Record
your feelings on paper - especially painful feelings. Keeping a journal
can help you gain an insight into your emotions. Sit down and write for
20 minutes each day, don't think; just write whatever comes to your
mind and
do not censor yourself. You will find that putting your thoughts on
paper will help you sort through painful emotions, clarify decisions,
and keep your life on track.
- Go
out and move you body! Take a half an hour walk every day or cycle or do horse riding or jump
a
skipping rope or dance or do any other exercises. Frequent exercise can
be
a
powerful mood enhancer and depression help.
- Do
sun gazing! Gaze
regularly at the late afternoon setting sun and/or early morning rising
sun for 5-10 minutes. After a few weeks you will have more energy,
better mood and you will sleep better - it will simply uplift your
body. It is
important not to strain but to relax during sun gazing.
- Take
cold showers regularly! At the end of your morning shower, turn off the warm tap and have a
cold shower on your entire body. It has a strong vitalizing and
activating effect. Have cold showers several times a day, but not in
the evening, it can prevent you from falling asleep.
- Turn
the telly off and meet
people! The
longer you watch television, the more your mood suffers. Studies have
shown, that people who watch a lot of television, tend to have
intensified feelings of isolation.
-
Do
creative activities! Any type of arts and crafts, like painting, modeling, knitting or
stitching can give you joy and success. Play music or start
learning to play a music instrument! Nothing else can lift your spirit
so easily - as real, live
music does, especially if you are creating it. Creative dancing, like
freestyle dancing can be satisfying and may brighten your mood.
