Default 3 Ways to Beat Depression

Depression is pretty horrible. However, depressed thoughts come and go. This post is designed to give you a few small (but big) ways to beat depression every time.

1) Realize that depression is transient - Like a rainbow, a puddle, a bubble or a cloud in the sky – depression does not last. It never does and it never will.

2) Be careful with the label “I have depression” - Why?

Because the diagnosis “you have depression” is very solid. It is very fixed. It seems unchangeable. But like I noted in the first point, depression is actually very transient. It is impermanent. It doesn’t last. But when you are told you have depression you run the risk of labeling yourself as a depressed person. And that is very solid.

3) Learn the value of human contact -
1. Knowing people love you makes a difference
2. Being around other people helps

The two lessons here are about helping people with depression and helping yourself when you have depression. If you are depressed you need to get out and be around people. It doesn’t matter how you do it, science has shown that having human contact helps depression.

The second thing is that if you know someone who is feeling down you should go and help them. Get them out of the house, take them out for a walk and get them out with people. This will not only help their situation, it will also help your depression.

Regards.

Some Ways To Beat Depression

1. Try not to spend too much time with people who are miserable or pessimistic. Spend as much time as you can with people who are cheerful and optimistic.

2. Try to spend at least an hour every day doing something that you enjoy.

3. Take a break. Go away for a few days if you can. Don't take work with you - and don't tell anyone the telephone number.

4. Let yourself go occasionally. If you feel tense or uptight go outside and smash a tennis ball or football. Or dig the garden!

5. Learn to laugh. It really will make you feel better. Visit a local joke shop or toy shop. Buy books and magazines that you find entertaining and amusing rather than just educational. hire a funny video and invite one or two friends round to enjoy it with you.

6. Visit your local travel agent and pick up a collection of holiday brochures. Look through the illustrations and imagine that you are there - soaking up the sun.

7. Write down your problems. They'll seem less threatening when they're written down. And you'll be able to tackle them more easily too.

8. Don't be afraid to cry. Tears shed for emotional reasons contain special proteins - crying is a useful and constructive way of dealing with sadness. Crying will make you feel rested, calmer and happier.

9. Make sure that you have something to look forward to - an outing, a trip to the cinema or a meeting with friends.

10. Buy yourself a rocking chair. There is evidence to show that rocking backwards and forwards produces calming, relaxing hormones.
