It was written in a psychological study that most depression can be solved by exercise. Because exercise allows the body to produce aminopolyphenols, which is a chemical substance secreted by the central nervous system of the brain when it is stimulated in some way. It has a calming effect, reduces pain, and focuses on making people feel good.
This method is very practical, and I've lightly experienced several longer periods of depression, which I talk about in Grassroots Struggle. I found that exercise helped me to get out of my depression and out of my mental slump, and then I learned to exercise regularly in order to keep myself in a good state.
Journaling
Journaling is also one of the methods I've used to great effect. It's actually a process of self-communication and reflection, and through journaling you can vent your feelings, and you don't have to be afraid of revealing your secrets or hurting others. The diary not only helps you to vent but also aids in your growth, but please remember to use more positive language in your diary to encourage yourself and give yourself affirmation, which will help you even more.
There is also a tendency for journals to help you think y about why something is going wrong, so you can find out what's bothering you.
Join a social group
Many depressed people don't like to go out and socialize, preferring to stay at home, and it's easy to get into trouble when you're alone for a long time. People are group animals, and socializing is actually one of the basic needs of human beings. When interacting with people we find emotional support. Some people have been depressed for a long time, but may chat with friends for an afternoon will be in a very good mood, why? The main reason is that emotions are cathartic, and in the process of socializing, our basic needs are met, and if your friends can give you some advice and relief, the result will be even better.
Remember! Your friend is not a trash can, don't just meet and pour out your misery, when you are comfortable it's time for your friend to get depressed, no one likes to feel that way!
I can relate to this, for a while I was very obsessed with Japanese manga. On weekends and evenings I basically stayed at home and watched Japanese manga, and I could skip meals. After two or three weeks of this, I realized that I was so depressed that I didn't want to do anything. But nothing happened in my life or work during that time, and I realized that it was because I had been isolated from the world for too long.
When you're in a bad mood, force yourself to go out and participate in some activities, seminars, or join a social group. The best way to do this is to choose a social group that is positive, because a positive environment can change your mindset. Don't take my advice and join a triad, I'll be damned!
Traveling
If you can't stand it anymore, give yourself a vacation and go out to relax. The biggest advantage of traveling is that it allows you to immediately change an environment and a mindset, although it costs money but the effect is obvious. It is important to remember that there are two modes of travel: one is activity-based travel and the other is leisure-based travel.
If you are depressed and distressed inside, you can not raise the spirit, to choose the activity type. This type of traveling is easy to leave all the problems and agonies behind, because there are too many new and interesting things to be overwhelmed, and you can't stop yourself from catching up on your daily schedule. It's easy to get out of the emotional dead knots you've fallen into in the past when you're busy. Make a commitment to yourself before you go on a trip to go crazy and enjoy the whole process, and remember to look back at how your mood has changed when you get back to find that feeling of relaxation.
If you are too stressed from work and your brain thinks too much leading to fatigue, go for the leisure type. For example, lying on the beach, listening to the sound of the sea crying, blowing the wind, sunshine, let your brain quiet down, relax to recharge themselves. Work is already tired enough do not let a full schedule to make themselves exhausted.
Listening to music and singing
Music is the closest friend of the human mind, because the frequency of the music sound waves will cause the brain's reaction, beautiful music can improve the cerebral cortex of the excitability of the human body to promote the secretion of some of the health of the body's active substances, the regulation of the flow of blood in the human body. The rhythm of music also affects the secretion of human hormones and adrenaline. Studies have shown that people secrete more steroids under stressful situations, but after listening to relaxing music, the steroid secretion will be reduced, which is why many people now use music therapy to help people get rid of depression.
It is recommended that you listen to more soothing music if you are stressed, or pick something up-tempo if you are depressed. However, the choice of music or because of the different, if you personally have been very sad also go to listen to some lost love sentimental love songs, the mood may be the more you listen to the more depressed.
The effect of singing is seen in the book "Positive Energy", which I have not personally tried. But think carefully should be helpful to depressed people, and the author emphasized that the efficacy of singing is far stronger than listening to music, it makes you happier, no wonder happy people always sing in the shower.
Dancing
This method is also from the book "Positive Energy", because I don't dance and have never tried it. According to the theory of behavioral psychology, a person's external behavior can also affect a person's internal behavior, and it is not only the internal thoughts that determine the external behavior. According to this theory, when you are in a bad mood, forcing yourself to smile will make you feel better. And dancing is the best external behavior to stimulate happy emotions inside.
It is very much agreed that people are generally happy when they dance, in fact, it is because of the movements of the body that stimulate the brain to invoke the emotion of excitement. Now you know why square dancing is so popular with the middle-aged and the elderly, and without square dancing there may be hundreds of millions of parents in China who nag their children every day.
And the authors also conducted a series of studies on this method, and the results showed that after dancing, especially in pairs, people's moods are very positive and active. Dance itself is also another kind of aerobic exercise, which has already been mentioned in method two as helpful for people. So this trick is a double whammy.
Give yourself a short-term goal
You're depressed, you're lost sometimes you're idle!
You can go ahead and make a short-term goal that doesn't hurt you, just to give yourself something to do. When there is a goal you are more likely to focus and less likely to be distracted from your thoughts. Long term goals are better, short term doesn't matter, at least this goal will pull you out of the emotional trap, and you may recover on your own after this time.
