Just wake up early in the morning, have a glass full of lukewarm water, squeeze some lemon in it, and hit the gym or have at least 2kms of walk. Start reading some books, always try to finish at least one book in a week, believe me just try this and you will find those books as your best friends. Stop Overthinking, It will only lead you to get in depression and anxiety, Instead always listen to your heart to make decisions and work hard to follow your dreams. Don’t watch porn, and stop masturbation as it will only lead you to the feeling of regret and anxiety. Do call your parents daily and ask them regarding their health and day. Find some of the time from your busy schedule and visit some slums, try to teach them, buy some stationery for them, believe me by doing this you will feel great. Feed some stray dogs, or adopt a street dog, as a dog is your real friend who never leaves you no matter what your situation is. If you are a non-vegetarian then please switch to veg, don't kill some innocent animals to fill your cravings, as eating non-veg leads to the transfer of negativity in you. Always try to be social, also stay away from negative people, do call your friends, cousins and asks them about their day or career path. Don’t fall into the shitty relationships as it only leads to the path of Kabir Singh and all, because nowadays 90% of the relationship is fake. Never Stalk your Ex on social media or any other platform, try to remove all of his/her memories out of your mind, because it leads to being the biggest reason for depression Thankyou…
