Remember, things never remain the same. The world is in an ever-changing loop. Things do not always go your way. At times, you will face disastrous days, while at others the sun will shine bright and new, with everything going your way.
When life is better, we have high expectations. The higher our expectations, the harder we fall when things do not work out. Therefore, it is better to always be prepared for the low times.
Similarly, when the low times are over, good times will begin again. You might consider the times you are experiencing right now as the lowest point of your life. While for others, the same time may be the highest. Therefore, always be grateful for all the blessings you have. And smile, for life is short, and happy moments are short lived. Make the most of your experiences. Keep reminding yourself that the sun will emerge and light will shine upon you once more.
These are five of the most important things you should remember, every time you feel down. Things may seem to be going against your wishes right now, but in time you will appreciate how everything turned out. Trust yourself and keep striving for the future. It will all be worth it in the end. If you have any extra ideas or questions on the topic please share them with me in the comment section below.

Can you commit to not skipping meals? By all means, have treats. Absolutely yes, food should never become a source of stress. But treats should be just a few times a week, not every day.
Try to promise to yourself that you are going to avoid sugar, processed foods and alcohol. Start where you are, and just do the next best thing nobody changes overnight! In my personal and professional opinion, there is nothing better than exercise to lift your mood and help get rid of stress and help to calm your mind.
Perhaps some trainers and a pair of leggings, which most of us already have. Perhaps the best thing for you is a ten minute yoga session that where you actually sit in a chair the whole time. There are free youtube lessons, go and explore and find something that feels right for you.
Or try something new entirely. Long walks? Lifting weights? Bouncing on a trampoline? Go for it. Depending on what you think has triggered this decline in your mental health, it can be invaluable to spend some time thinking about the bigger goals you have in your life. Or indeed, committing to something for the greater good. It was about whether you are struggling with a sense of meaning in your life.
Whether you have done so in the past. And whether you know what gives your life meaning now. And the past majority of people have said that they have struggled with a sense of meaning and purpose in their life, and about half do so right now.
So I have trained as coach, and my training was particularly focused on positive psychology. What your strengths are. What passions you have in life, and I also know how beneficial it is for most people to have bigger goals for their lives.
And really making sure that your goal or goals are aligned with your values, the things you deeply care about. I find this work personally very fulfilling, yes challenging but really very meaningful and this is my way of contributing to the greater good I hope. And as a result, you become much more resilient and strong.
So how do you want to make a difference? What do you feel passionate about? And what makes you smile day-to-day? Tip number six is very different to the others. And when I say watch comedy, I do genuinely mean that. That are uplifting, perhaps silly, that normally would make you laugh.
Now is NOT the time for horror movies, crime thrillers or upsetting documentaries. And you made it through every single one of them. You can do that again. You can survive again. Ari has absolutely no interest in visiting the island resort where traumatic memories are repressed. Even though her gut warns her to stay home, visiting the island becomes inevitable—and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined. Forget Her is the new must-read sci-fi thriller by novelist Holly Riordan that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Someone might pound a punching bag, someone else may go on an excursion to a nearby park, and another person restores their spiritual strength by taking a trip to the city where they grew up.
But if all those places that used to fill you with energy only cause you disappointment and a sense of moral devastation, then the crisis is evident. Hence, more radical methods of problem solving are needed. And, perhaps even the help of a specialist. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School found out that people who spend more than one hour a day on social networks are more prone to depression.
The notions of the life of others that are formed when scrolling through the news feed on social media evoke a feeling of envy and a distorted belief that other people live a more bright and successful life than you do. This constant fixation on your phone can result in low self-esteem, nervous breakdowns, and a sense of total loneliness. Try to be offline more often: this will really make you happier. If you want to change something, do not look for a special occasion or a nice date, just start doing it right now.
But if you recognize yourself in some of these situations, do not postpone the solution for later. You only have one life, and it should be lived well. Nothing in this world interests you.
