We all have had rough days were we feel like nothing goes right and we beat ourselves up. Often we let these feelings determine our daily attitude and how we feel. These feelings can make our days depressing and overall just not good. We must find creative ways to rise above these feelings and be happy.
I will share some of my suggestions on how you can work towards finding yourself a better attitude each day. By no means is this advice to replace medical treatment, and I would always suggest you speak with your doctor first about mental health. Never shy away from your mind and mental health. It's a very serious part of our life and you should never be embarrassed to seek professional treatment.
This one is just a given: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS - speak with your doctor
Identify what you feel makes you struggle and make a plan. When you know what your challenges are you can focus on the most important ones first.
Find a hobby - Hobbies often give us something to spend mental time with and something that we can do for a good mental getaway.
Utilize online forums and friends that you can speak with. Often having someone that doesn't "know" us to talk to helps us be more willing to open up. Don't be afraid to open up and meet new people.
Exercise - Getting in better physical shape and exercising produces endorphins that are great for our mental health. We feel better about ourselves and have more energy which all leads to better mental health.
Find quiet time - reflecting on your day or week in a quiet place is a great tool to help your mind. Even writing things down in this time will help you have an out to your mind.
Overall these are just quick suggestions on what I use to be happier each day. I hope you all find value and remember, we all struggle.
