Depression is a term very often misused to describe unhappiness. Being depressed can be a very deep feeling of pain with no reason, where one feels imprisoned in a dark room. In order to learn how to overcome depression, one has to stop trying to find the cause for it. We get unhappy for various reasons in our daily life. It could be anything from small and simple to large and complex. It all depends on our own strength and weakness. Usually multiple reasons of unhappiness over a prolonged time leads to a Depression.
In my opinion these are the simple ways to engage yourself at some positive work you love to do.
1. Set Goals
Something special happens the moment the paper meets the pen and we write down our goals. Our brain chemistry changes, neurons fire, hormones are deployed, and we start thinking about how we can achieve those goals.
2. Sleep
Getting the right amount of sleep is healthy for our body and mind. Some argue that sleep deprivation treats depression, but I donât buy it. I think itâs a cheap distraction that catches up to you within days. Get enough rest.
3.Exercise
If youâre physically capable, try one hour of cardio (or as much as you can). If youâre tee-shirt is soaking wet, youâre standing in a puddle of your own sweat, and you can feel the endorphins pumping through your body, you did it right. Shower up and try not being happy, I dare you.
Exercise as an antidepressant
The following exercise tips offer a powerful prescription for boosting mood:
Exercise now⦠and again. A 10-minute walk can improve your mood for two hours. The key to sustaining mood benefits is to exercise regularly.
Choose activities that are moderately intense. Aerobic exercise undoubtedly has mental health benefits, but you don't need to sweat strenuously to see results.
Find exercises that are continuous and rhythmic (rather than intermittent).Walking, swimming, dancing, yoga, and cycling or stationery biking are good choices.
Add a mind-body element. Activities such as yoga and tai chi rest your mind and increase your energy. You can also add a meditative element to walking or swimming by repeating a mantra (a word or phrase) as you move.
Start slowly, and don't overdo it. More isn't better. Athletes who over train find their moods drop rather than lift.
4.Forgiveness
Many times weâre making ourselves sad for no good reason at all. People have been known to keep grudges for lifetimes (most religions and nationalities keep them for generations). When you forgive, you remove this weight off your shoulders and put yourself in a position to be happier.
5.Gratitude
Many times when we complain we can cause ourselves to be sad. Complaining is just a factor of not taking into account what weâre grateful for. Sit down and make a list of 100 things youâre grateful for right now (and I dare you not to feel better).
6.Sunlight
Certain people have a disorder, in which, due to a lack of sunlight, they experience seasonal sadness. Iâm somewhat affected by this in the winter when the days are shorter. Thatâs why it pays to grab your iPod (or your friend) and go for 30 minute walks each day and embrace the sunlight.
7.Hydration
This has always been my downfall; I donât drink enough and chances are you donât either. Some days I drink only 1 cup of water, and I feel horrible. When I remember, and drink 2-3 liters, Iâm happy as a kitten on cat-nip, and productive as a bat out of hell.
8.Friendships
Your life force, support system, and everything that matters. Itâs not hard to make friends if you put the time in. Everyone wants to be heard, appreciated, and loved. Start off by listening, appreciating and loving, and it will come back your way.
And remember, itâs never too late to build new friendships and improve your support network.
Turn to friends and family members who make you feel loved and cared for. Spend time talking and listening face-to-face with trusted people and share what youâre going through. The people you talk to donât have to be able to fix you; they just need to be good listeners. Ask for the help and support you need. You may have retreated from your most treasured relationships, but emotional connection can get you through this tough time.
Try to keep up with social activities even if you donât feel like it. Often when youâre depressed, it feels more comfortable to retreat into your shell, but being around other people will make you feel less depressed.
Join a support group for depression. Being with others dealing with depression can go a long way in reducing your sense of isolation. You can also encourage each other, give and receive advice on how to cope, and share your experiences.
10 tips for reaching out and building friendships
Talk to one person about your feelings
Help someone else by volunteering
Have lunch or coffee with a friend
Ask a loved one to check in with you regularly
Accompany someone to the movies, a concert, or a small get-together
Call or email an old friend
Go for a walk with a workout buddy
Schedule a weekly dinner date
Meet new people by taking a class or joining a club
Confide in a clergy member, teacher, or sports coach
9.Reading
Take a temporary leave from reality and bury yourself in one of your favorite books. A lot of wise people have been through what youâre going through and they made it through to the other side to tell about it.
10. Challenge negative thinking
Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future.But you canât break out of this pessimistic mind frame by âjust thinking positive.â Happy thoughts or wishful thinking wonât cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.
Ways to challenge negative thinking:
Think outside yourself. Ask yourself if youâd say what youâre thinking about yourself to someone else. If not, stop being so hard on yourself. Think about less harsh statements that offer more realistic descriptions.
Allow yourself to be less than perfect. Many depressed people are perfectionists, holding themselves to impossibly high standards and then beating themselves up when they fail to meet them. Battle this source of self-imposed stress by challenging your negative ways of thinking
Socialize with positive people. Notice how people who always look on the bright side deal with challenges, even minor ones, like not being able to find a parking space. Then consider how you would react in the same situation. Even if you have to pretend, try to adopt their optimism and persistence in the face of difficulty.
Keep a "negative thought log." Whenever you experience a negative thought, jot down the thought and what triggered it in a notebook. Review your log when youâre in a good mood. Consider if the negativity was truly warranted. Ask yourself if thereâs another way to view the situation. For example, letâs say your boyfriend was short with you and you automatically assumed that the relationship was in trouble. It's possible, though, heâs just having a bad day.
Talk to a therapist. A therapist will be able to help you work through the issues you are going through at this current time. A therapist can also help educate you about your depression, which is an important component and has been shown to reduce depression.
If you don't like the idea of traditional therapy, look into unique variations of it. Animal, art, drama/psychodrama, and music therapy all work by combining the talk-based therapy of a counselor with an activity-based approach to help you overcome your depression.
Ask friends or family for recommendations of local psychologists. You may be surprised by the number of people you know who visit a counselor on a regular basis. Asking someone you trust can also help you to transfer a bit of that trust onto the therapist before you start meeting, making it more likely that you will have a quick recovery.
