5 Surefire Tips to Beat Depression Now

Being lonely is a normal part of our everyday lives... We get sad when we fail in our exams, when we're rejected by the person we love, or when someone very close to us passes away.

Depression, however, could be more fatal than just plain loneliness and sadness, it could render life-long consequences that could ruin your self-esteem, health and well-being.

Here are some superb tips to conquer the melancholy mood and get the most bliss out of your daily activities.

(1) Get Enough Light and Sunshine

Lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which could trigger a dispirited mood and a lethargic condition.

Melatonin is only produced in the dark... It lowers the overall body temperature and makes you feel sluggish, if you are always cooped up in your room (with the curtains closed), it would be difficult to restrain yourself from staying in bed.

This is the reason why many people are suffering from depression much more often in winter than in the other seasons... It's because the nights are longer.

If you can't afford to get some sunshine, you can always lighten up your room with brighter lights... Have lunch outside the office, take frequent walks instead of driving your car over short distances.

(2) Get Busy and Get Inspired

You'll be more likely to overcome any feeling of depression if you are too busy to notice it... Live a life full of inspired activities.

Do the things you love... If you're a little short on cash, you could engage in simple stuffs like taking a leisurely stroll in the park, playing sports, reading books, or engaging in any activity that you have passion for and would love to pursue.

Set a goal, a meaningful purpose in life... No matter how difficult or discouraging life can be, remain firm and have an unshakable belief that you are capable of doing anything you desire... With this kind of positive attitude, you will attain a cheerful disposition to beat the blues.

(3) Take a Relaxing Break

I mean it... Listen to soothing music, soak in a nice warm bath, or ask one of your close friends to massage you... Take a break from your stressful workload and spend the day just goofing around... In other words, have fun.

(4) Eat Right and Exercise

Avoid foods with lots of sugar, caffeine, or alcohol... Sugar and caffeine may give you a brief moment of energy, but they would later bring about anxiety, tension, and internal problems... Recent studies have shown that caffeine is linked to numerous other health problems.

If you didn't already know, alcohol is a depressant... Many people would drink alcohol to 'forget their problems', but really they're just aggravating their conditions in the process.

Exercising regularly is a vital depression buster because it allows your body to produce more endorphins than usual... Endorphins are sometimes called 'the happy chemicals' because of their stress-reducing and happiness-inducing properties.

(5) Get Yourself a Social Life

No man is an island, your circle of friends are there to give you moral support... Spending time and engaging in worthwhile activities with them could give you a very satisfying feeling... Nothing feels better than having group support.

Never underestimate the power of touch... Doesn't it feel so good when someone pats you on the back and gives you words of encouragement during your most challenging times? Hug or embrace someone today... You'll never know when you have saved another life.

Get intimate, establish close ties with your family and friends... The love and care expressed by others could tremendously boost your immune system and fend off illnesses... Best of all, you'll live a more secured and happy life.
