§ Ask for help:
Consult a therapist or ask a friend or a family member to keep a check-up on you and your work. This is a very important step if you’re suffering from depression.
§ Prioritize wisely:
Your first priority should always be your mental health makes sure that if you have 10 things on your to-do list cut them down to the 3 most important things and try to do them first in a day. Don’t overburden yourself.
§ Try to reward yourself for doing small things:
People are far more motivated if they get a reward or incentive for working so rewarding is the best way that can overcome your depression and can be used as a great motivation tool in our daily life.
§ Stay in present:
Sometimes people think a lot about their future and that results in depression in them so instead of overthinking about the past or future try to stay in present. This is a very mindfulness technique that overcomes all the negative feelings from our life.
§ Exercise daily:
Daily exercising can dramatically help you in lifting up your mood. Moreover, coming out of your environment and interacting with nature while exercising is the best way to overcome your depression.
Very informative. But one suffering from depression should always remember " All phases of life come to an end". This will end too.
Do small things. Small things can make a huge difference in lives like if you are not feeling to take a shower, just wash your face. It will amaze you how doing small things can change things.
One more thing I learned from the well-known Jordan Peterson is that for one to stay mentally healthy, one needs to have a daily routine, no matter how small (e.g waking up at the same time, having a breakfast..) By having a routine/ schedule it will help us stabilize our nervous system and our brain will thank us for it.
Those are some great advices! I love and agree with everything you wrote. 🙌 There's one quote that helped me with overthinking at one point of my life when I really needed it and I still remind myself of it from time to time, it says: "No amount of guilty can change the past and no amount of worry can predict the future." And with this I just want to underline the importance of being present, as you said depression and anxiety are often a result of focusing either on the past or the future and practicing mindfulness with whatever works for us ( meditation, yoga, doing some sports) is crucial for maintaining good mental health.
