You feel down, uninspired and lazy; plus at the same time angry because you’re not doing anything. You want to lift your mood and be productive but feel stuck. You might feel down because you’re tired, overworked, overwhelmed or something bad happened to you.

It’s okay and normal to feel uninspired sometimes and I think everyone goes through these phases in life. However, when they become too long, you might want to use some strategies to lift your mood and get yourself back on track.
So I was wondering how folks get to lift their spirits when they feel down. I'd like to hear your strategies.

By listening to some nice music or watching Mr sabinus the mumu man

AkaraAndBread:


Bros, good afternoon O. How is the family?

this guy face alone ennnnn na comedy

Music

Music and listening to motivational talks especially the ones that challenge and help launch into action

I pray in tongues and rejoice

I seek my Lord’s face. He has never failed me.
His name is JESUS CHRIST.

■Go for a long walk.
■ Go fishing at the closest lake
■ Go for a long drive
■ gaze out the window, maybe at passersby or at the sky for as long as it will take to wake your mind back up
■ Try to binge watch those shows and movies you would ordinarily not be interested in
■ sit out in the backyard for as long as it will take for the fog in your mind to clear
■ Do chores
.....

Well, I play some musics, and cheer up.

I talk to genuine friends, listen to music, going outing. Reading books. And tentatively, I pray too.

I play music and try as much as possible to focus on positive vibes only

Take some walk to somewhere you might not have been to before or been to for a while. That alone is a brain resetting cos one should see things from different perspective.

Music is also good but not by listening to your own list of songs, good radio station or songs you have not heard before should help

Good music

I read and I take walks around

I listen to Nathaniel Bassey music and other good music

Praying has really worked for me. It's like a burden is lifted off even before I'm done. It helps you keep hope alive knowing that someone is working things out for you even though you can't see it yet.
Good music also helps especially when you just get lost in it.
Books are so good so much so that you can travel through different experiences, see things different, and sometimes, you might even come across yourself in some...

I cry my eyes out, wail to the extent my voice becomes crack and after then I feel better and ready to push again.

Tears are very good anti-depressants. Nice!


For me, I do nothing. I'm actually someone that never quits. It's like a curse.

JESUS, he is the only one who never fails

I cry to my God or find someone to speak to.
There is a friend of mine, she is not a pastor or a motivational speaker but whenever am in trouble and I speak to her,I feel so relieve she feels so positive in everything even at the point of death.
Her words always keep me stronger.

For me, I have songs that reminds me of God's faithfulness to me even when I was even unfaithful. Once I play them, I feel good. The songs are songs I have heard but I sang them my way at my lowest point at some point so I go back them. One of then says:

"To ba daru ta lemi o pe, to ba baje ta lemi o pe;
Afi wo, Eledumare, afi wo, Eledumare" which means: When things go bad or sour, who do I call? Only you, the most High.

I unlock my phone and start deleting contacts on my social media pages. So cartharthic

I don't have the luxury to stay unproductive for too long. My motivation problems turn into keeping-up-with-deadlines-problems which must be solved with or without motivation.

Ensure you live a balanced lifestyle and there will be no room for such for a long time when the feeling comes.

Exactly

No dull moment.
I unwind by binging dramas. By the time I finish analysing a full series, I will not remembersuch anymore.


If I'm not watching something, I will come here and talk about Nigeria and its problem. That one is the number one motivating force

Most times, too much tears is self pity.
Self pity is manipulative and destructive too.
