Whats Your Mood?

Has there been a time in your life where you cant understand your sadness? The other day a topic  between a friend of mine came up about depression. Many people suffer in silence because they don't think there is hope. Well there is hope i overcame depression and you can too. No one has to feel alone, even when there seems like there is no one to turn to. Here are some helpful tips to shake off the heavy burdens and awaken your inner happiness.

1. Meditation and prayer- Each day take a few minutes out of your day to be alone with your thoughts. Focus on self and relax during this time. Allow yourself time to have a personal conversation with your higher being. If your a beginner you can start with five minutes and half lotus; and eventually work your way up. If you’re  not familiar with meditation there are many Vlogs and videos online you can search or view.

2.  Call up a friend or family member you can vent to.  One that will listen and give you a cheerful conversation. That always seems to pull me out of a sad mood.

3. Laughter is always the best medicine- Look at funny videos, search funny jokes or watch a funny movie. A really good laugh will cure almost any somber moment, and critical thoughts. Talk to a friend that you know is gonna give you that laugh you need.

4. Find a hobby or fun activity- Surround yourself around people that share the same interest as you do. If you have children join a play date group. Get involved in groups or go out and have you a dance. Live life and be carefree.

5. Listen to music- Music has a way of rejuvenating the mind and body, cleansing the spirit. It makes you feel good. You can go into your own world and enjoy.


The tips provided may not work for everyone but it has been a form of therapy for me. Everyone has a different level of sadness. You too can overcome depression just like i did. Turn that negative energy into something positive in your life. Try it and see if it works for you. You may begin to see a difference in your mental health. Until next time enjoy your lovely view.
