1. SEEKING HELP FROM A COUNSELOR:
Talking things through with your friends or
family may or may not help but speaking
with a licensed counselor is beneficial to
your mental health. Being open to having a
counselor help you through can make the
process easier, avoiding the feeling of
shame for seeking help.
2. HAVING FUN:
Going out with a
group of friends to different places can be a
cool way to break through. It doesn’t have
to be activities with your friends — as long
as you’re doing something considerably fun,
it can be family who join you through the
day’s venture.
3. CHANGE YOUR DIET:
You are what you eat? The foods you digest
could be the difference between a positive
mood or a negative one. It can also add
pressure to your state of depression. Dark
“leafy” vegetables, walnuts, soybean oil,
flaxseed and salmon are just some foods
and ingredients you can add to your meals
or snacks, in order to help eleviate.
4. EXERCISE:
Exercise can not only be a good decision for
your body, but your mind will find benefits
on the treadmill or track, as well. Exercise
can serve as an accomplishment and pushes
your body to new limits. Almost like
escapism, exercise can take you away from
reality and stresses that press against your
brain. Killing two birds with one stone,
exercising will provide a healthier life both
physically and mentally.
5. TRYING NEW THINGS:
Adding new elements to your life can add a
significant boost to the quality of your life,
knocking off the depression that weighs
you down. Some new elements include new
friends, food, and places. When you allow
newness into your life, you can feel the
difference and possibly adding just the right
kick your life needed.
6. SEEK A HIGHER POWER FOR STRENGTH:
Believing and having faith in something or
someone much higher than you, can help
eliminate the negative thought patterns that
travel through your mind. The higher power
can serve as a guide of strength that won’t
allow you to fall, even on the darkest of days.
Spiritually, you’ll feel more alive and find
various purposes for why your life matters
and why there are brighter days that lie
ahead. The higher power serves as the
strength that you weren’t able to gain on
your own. We all can use a little help, this is
just another way of getting some assistance
for your state of mind.
