There are two types of people. In some, autumn is associated with a bright leaf fall, a new year (albeit educational, but still new), an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Others - with the end of summer, rain, cold, drenched legs and another cold, in general, a sad time, which is not "eye charm". If you belong to the second group, this post is addressed to you. Autumn depression is a disease, and any illness can and should be treated. Put aside antidepressants from the pharmacy, we will try to find more natural and pleasant ways to get rid of depression. How to prevent or get out of depression 1. Engage in sports Scientists have long proven that regular sports activities work no worse than antidepressants or psychologists. First, during training in the blood, the level of the hormone of happiness, serotonin, rises. Secondly, according to the observations of psychologists, a person who began to play sports increases self-esteem. And it is interesting that you start to treat yourself better from the very first classes, even when there are no visible results of your efforts. Do you think that training is only for those who have a lot of free time? It's not true, it's enough to practice 20-30 minutes a day to feel energetic and happy. It is especially useful to do sports in the mornings, then you get a charge of vivacity for the whole day. If on a cold autumn morning it's hard for you to crawl out from under a warm blanket (although, believe me, it's not easy for the first couple of weeks :-)), do it in the evening - remove tension after work and get rid of depression. 2. Eat right The autumn usually exacerbates chronic diseases, and during a bout of illness feel happy, to put it mildly, difficult. Therefore, if you do not belong to the category of masochists, take care of your body in advance. Do not sharply sit on a strict diet and eat one oatmeal on the water, so you can definitely fall into depression. Just replace some of the sweets with fruits, and the semi-finished products with homemade food. Autumn vegetables and fruits contain many vitamins and substances useful for the body, and this will help you avoid another relapse or transfer it with minimal consequences. 3. Find an excuse for laughter. Do you think that in a gloomy autumn day nothing can make you laugh? It is unforgivable to think so in the era of Internet technology. In the World Wide Web, each person can find something that will cause him positive emotions. Funny pictures with seals, witty aphorisms, fascinating comedy series, funny stories - all and not enumerate. Select at least 10 minutes a day to get distracted from everything and laugh heartily. And do not blame yourself for the waste of time: laughter prolongs life, so you do not have fun, but make a useful contribution to your future. 4. Meet with people you like. Autumn is the ideal time for a friendly get-together. What can be more pleasant than communicating with people dear to you to the accompaniment of rain. Add to this picture hot coffee and a delicious dessert - that's what idyll is. By the way, frank conversation with a best friend can replace your campaign to a psychologist, so if the depression is already rolling on you, try to talk heart to heart. Just do not turn it into an evening of complaints, better express everything that lies on the soul with a stone, and go on more enjoyable topics. 5. Make your own gifts Start a useful habit of making yourself a small gift every day. It does not have to be a purchase, just think about what you would like to do for yourself. For example, allow yourself one evening to lie in bed with your favorite book. Home affairs were, is and will be ... your free time. Therefore, it is not a sin to postpone them for tomorrow. Allow yourself a little weakness, because it's so nice. 6. Focus on good Note, in many religions, it is customary to thank God every day for every little thing. It does not matter whether you are an atheist or a believer, you can use this principle for your own good. When the believer in the evening prayer thanked God, he listed all the positive moments of the day: a delicious dinner, good weather, comfortable clothes, harvest, etc. That is, the person focused on the good, thus simultaneously convincing himself that in his life there are many positive moments. Why do not we use the same method with you? You can thank God, the Universe, yourself or simply remember all the good moments of the past day. You will be surprised to find that your life is full of pleasant impressions and not so bad as you thought. 7. Do not think about the bad If you concentrate on good only in the evening, and all day to twist in the mind of the thought "personal life failed-the work is uninteresting-the computer is slowly working", you run the risk of not getting out of depression. Do not allow bad thoughts. Controlling your flow of consciousness is quite difficult, but still you can, especially, you will do it for your own happiness. Try a simple trick - switch to positive. Once you caught yourself on an other.
