There are some days when we feel depressed. This phase may last for few hours to a day. Here are some tips to beat the blues away. Opt for the one which makes you feel happy.
Do you ever have one of those days
when you're feeling depressed for no reason at all? Here are a few tips
to help you beat the blues.
Blues caused by illnesses go away
when the illness goes away. So much for them! Depression caused by really
big problems get solved when the problem gets solved. So much for THEM!
Chronic depression may be serious enough to warrant a shrink. Get one!
But those blue, blue days, when you
are just so upset, teary eyed and down in the stinking dumps for no apparent reason . Oh, how they sneak up on you, again and again. You could simply live with them, which is fine, or you could get up and take ACTION!! You can't think away the blues; you've got to beat them out with a stick!
Exercise
The minute you start feeling foul,
don your exercise gear and hit the park for a round of jogging. Or just
switch on the music and get moving.
Dress Up
True, this may be one of those days
that you don't even feel like brushing your hair, much less dressing up,
but push yourself. Wear a bright outfit, put on your make up and tell yourself
you look like a million bucks. Don't stop there, start believing it! Pretty
soon you'll start feeling it.
Music
Switch on to FM. Listening to the
DJ's yak will give you a feeling of connectivity to the outside world.
Set a Goal
Tell yourself you're going to finish
that novel that's going to make you famous by the end of the year/month/week
or that you're going to lose those inches off your hips/thighs/butt, and
start working on it right away.
Connect
If you don't put a letter in your
outbox, you're not going to get one in. So send off an email to a dear
friend who you haven't heard from in ages.
Shop
I don't know about you, but a clinging
black velvet dress will give me just the buzz I need. Those diamond earrings
you've craved for? NOW is the time to get them. Forget about all those
anti-wrinkle creams. When a woman is older, good posture, exercise and
sparkling, real jewellery are the only things that are going to make a
difference to her looks.
Movie Watch
Surf the channels for a funny movie
or serial and laugh your blues away. Highly recommended: view with ice
cream.
Spring-cleaning
Tidy your cupboard or dust the dresser.
Focussing on the task at hand will help take your mind off your worries.
Get a Haircut
Or maybe just a trim?
Rearrange the
Furniture
Use a little creativity. The change
can work wonders to boost your flagging spirits.
Bake
Enter the kitchen and bake up a storm.
Chocolate chip cookies, pineapple truffle or lemon tarts will send your
spirits soaring!
Sex
An orgasm is not like fat. Your body
can't store it. You need to keep getting a new fix. So get one.

we are all human and the connection with something that brings love into our lives is an important one as any. take time each day to be thankful for what we do have in our lives that is working, positive, contructive - this is also a good idea.
