When you stop believing that you are the most unhappy person in the world, sadness becomes powerless and loses its power over you. There are always people who find it much harder. Of course, this does not mean that your problems are less weighty. But you definitely won't be able to solve them if you drop your hands and get discouraged. Try to keep a positive atmosphere around you and be grateful that the worst has not happened.
Humanity is the most beautiful virtue. Do charity work to alleviate your condition. Look for funds whose values are close to you, become a volunteer in a shelter for homeless animals or give quality things you don't need to those who will need them.
Make the person next to you laugh, listen to the one who wants to talk, take on more household chores — any, even the simplest help to other people will distract you from gloomy thoughts.
The most important person in your life is you. No need to think about what could have happened. Live in the present and evaluate everything that life gives you here and now in terms of your priorities. Take a break, spend time alone with yourself and immerse yourself in self-reflection.
If you have a hobby that lifts your mood, do it. Do you like to sing? Spend the day at karaoke. Do you like to watch movies? Go to the cinema for an interesting premiere. Give yourself time until you feel ready to move on.
Even very small gestures of kindness can cheer you up. More often thank others for what they do. At the same time, try not to expect too much from them and do not place high hopes on them, even if you have done a lot yourself. Otherwise, you will be disappointed. But it is also not worth specifically looking for flaws in other people. It is better to pay attention to their merits and appreciate any participation on their part.
The feeling of regret leads nowhere. On the contrary, it only worsens the internal state. It is important to understand what to focus on first, so that it becomes easier.
In difficult life circumstances, many people spend time crying and thinking endlessly about what went wrong. Get rid of this habit and learn to let go of the situation — what is done is done.
Start to understand what is in your life now, and think about what your next step might be. It motivates you to learn from your mistakes. The experience you gain today will help you tomorrow. So it's better to stop living in the past and focus on the future.
It can be a family member, a friend, or even a celebrity. Whoever this person is, look into his life and try to understand what difficulties he had to face. The path of the people you admire will inspire you to straighten your shoulders and not give up.
One of the most effective ways to cope with melancholy is to talk. When you open your heart to others and speak out openly, it will be easier for you to get rid of sadness and despondency. You can contact a psychotherapist or talk to your loved ones. The main thing is that these people listen to you without condemnation, but at the same time they can directly say what you did wrong.
Even one small candle can dispel the harsh darkness. Motivation is always around us if we know where to look for it. And sadness is temporary and will go away one day. Don't lose faith in yourself and keep fighting.
