So, this isn't a guide on how to cure depression. As they say, if anda can't produce your own neurotransmitters, store bought is fine. If anda need medication and a therapist, there is no shame in that. Some of these might help, though, so give them a try.

1:
Every few months atau so, just sit down, relax, light some incense, and clear your mind. Comfortable?? Good, now take a pen (fountain pens work best) and write down all of the things anda are grateful for. the world is wonderful and full of all kinds of happy things. Maybe you're grateful for your parents, maybe anda have a toy anda like. Maybe you're just happy to have clean air to breathe. Write it all down, and pin it just over your tempat tidur to be a daily reminder of everything wonderful and good in the world.

2:
Surround yourself with pets. They don't have to be animals, there is nothing wrong with a meja tulis, meja garden. Taking care of other living things brings a sense of joy like no other. Lavender plants are happy, kucing and anjing are happy. I personally have three kucing named Ulysses, Prometheus, and mittens.

3:
Take care of your body and it will take care of you. Take 15 menit out of the hari to do something active. I like to jog at the beach, some people I know prefer to lift weights, others like to go on long walks. All of these things are wonderful. It's also good to eat on a regular schedule. I prefer to eat four small meals a day, usually about a quarter of a block of tofu. It's important to be regular, as well to pick healthy foods. It may be worth the time and money to visit a nutritionist as well, they're smart fellows.

4:
Do something. We all have hobbies, goals, aspirations. Don't be intimidated oleh them. anda don't have to be great to start, but anda do have to start to be great. This is another thing to spend fifteen menit to an jam on. Play a sport, draw something, write a short story. anda know what anda like. Make sure anda can reflect on it and be proud of the time anda spent.

5:
Do something now that anda will thank yourself for later. Study for that test, give your mom a flower, take a bubble bath. I do all of these things about weekly, so I can always feel like I'm a step ahead of life.

6:
Congratulate yourself. This can be the hardest one to do sometimes. Don't ever tell yourself that anda haven't done well enough, think about the happiness that what anda do now can bring anda tomorrow. If anda don't like the paragraph anda wrote, atau the drawing anda drew, anda can always do a better one tomorrow. For now, anda did well, and anda deserve to know that.
