Whenever I feel depressed, I won't let my mood last too long. Here are some ways to get rid of negative emotions quickly:
sports
I like outdoor activities and breathing fresh air of nature. When I am depressed, I go to the nearby riverbank for a few kilometers early in the morning and sweat a little. When I come back, I feel refreshed and most of my melancholy troubles are gone.
The process of fast walking is a meditation process of deep dialogue with the heart and self-questioning. Those "big problems" that seem to trap the body and mind are all found in this meditation, but they are actually just a dead end. Green trees and flowing water are reflected in front of my eyes, the breeze blows gently on my face, sweat permeates behind my clothes, and I am open-minded and no longer entangled in my own small emotions.
Wendu Tao once shared a story in a certain issue of the Round Table School. He walked out of the depression of lovelorn love:
When he was in college, breaking up with his first love hit him hard and he was once in a painful mood. Just before the winter vacation, in order to make himself less uncomfortable, he chose a more masochistic way to try to get out of the downturn-a person walked far and far with his bag on his back. After walking twice, he gradually adjusted himself and accepted the reality of lovelorn. In this process, the seemingly "masochistic" walk actually played a very good healing role.
Maybe you like running, playing ball, yoga or dancing. Either way, I believe that exercise can not only bring us strong bodies, but also help to relieve tension, anxiety or depression.
Clean things up
Throwing things is a good experience. When I was depressed, nervous, anxious and stressed, I gave up while sorting out, and finally threw a big box of useless things into the trash can, which relaxed my mood. It seems to be packing things, but it is actually combing the messy thoughts.
The book "Breaking Up" says: Cut off what you don't need? Discard excess waste? Get rid of the obsession with things. The core is not to be dominated by things, but to have emotions, that is, to be the master of emotions and not to be disturbed by all kinds of messy thoughts. Separation and minimalism advocate us to live a simple life and reduce all kinds of interference.
Enjoy a good meal or take a hot bath.
Modern people's life and work are under increasing pressure, which often leads to anxiety and inexplicable depression. Many nutrition experts and health experts are advocating eating healthy food, telling us that different foods not only have different effects on the body, but also can cure various emotional problems.
When you are in a bad state, you will eat your favorite hot pot or a bowl of casserole mala Tang, and you will be very satisfied after eating. They can make me recover my energy quickly in a short time.
Besides delicious food, drinking is also useful to me. I don't usually like drinking beer. When I am depressed, I will open a can of wine with my favorite songs or light music. Usually, depression is far away before a bottle of wine is finished.
Sometimes, after a day's work, dragging my tired body home will make me feel suspicious and confused. Try taking a hot bath. The water temperature can be raised a little. In the process of enjoying the shower, the originally sleepy body was relieved and relaxed, and it instantly glowed with blood.
Keep a diary or meditate and talk to your heart.
Keep a gratitude diary and record some small things that happen around us every day. For those who don't notice, gratitude will keep our energy at a positive high frequency.
After writing a gratitude diary for half a year, the whole person became positive and optimistic, and his mentality was more peaceful. There are few ups and downs, and the impression on people around you is also full of positive energy. Because of gratitude, you see the good side of others or things in your eyes; Because he is a grateful person, it is easy to get help when needed; More because of gratitude, life is getting better bit by bit.
Recording successful events every day, learning from "Qian Qian Dog" and turning over past achievements when you are depressed and doubt yourself will increase your confidence and motivation.
Another way is to take a deep breath and meditate. By inhaling and exhaling, you can enter the mode of speaking with your heart and ask a few questions: What happened? Why is there such an emotion? What are the expectations behind emotions? How can these expectations be met? If you try your best to achieve satisfactory results, then accept the current mood, comfort yourself, allow vulnerability and set a deadline for yourself. Meditation is a good way to connect with my heart, and it is also a habit that I will focus on cultivating this year.
Looking for an active support system
When negative emotions appear, we usually look for ways to alleviate them.
Watch positive energy movies, such as inspirational movies.
"If you have a dream, you have to defend it. Those who have accomplished nothing want to tell you that you can accomplish nothing. If you have an ideal, you should work hard to realize it. You should try your best to protect your dreams. Those who laugh at your dreams, because they are doomed to fail, they want you to like them. " Every time I read this passage, I will be full of strength.
Happy variety show, I am a person with a high laugh point. Every time I watch it, I still have a crooked smile. My favorite programs are, < Happy Comedian > and so on. When I am in a bad state, I can watch these funny programs and the whole person will soon get well.
Talk to someone. Keeping a diary is talking to yourself, and telling your partner or good friend the truth is also talking. Telling and sharing don't necessarily need answers, but our emotions need an outlet. Once we say something that has been tangled for a long time, we often find that it is such a trivial matter.
Of course, try to choose optimistic and positive friends to talk to and get some encouragement and positive feedback. If several people always complain about a bunch of parents' shortcomings and agree with each other, such a circle may comfort each other for a short time, but it may make people fall into deeper depression in the future.
Seeing friends circle is an example. People who are regarded as role models by us are usually people with strong abilities or people with their own personalities. They also share an active life. Looking at their circles, they will feel the sunshine. Such a powerful person still works so hard. What reason does he have to indulge passively for too long?
Join a positive society, join a positive society, and you will get a lot of nourishment and strength from it. A group of people encourage each other and cheer up, which makes it easier for people to get out of the tangled pain than one person.
These are all ways to help me quickly adjust my state and revive my blood when I am frustrated and lose my motivation.
