How to Find the Upside When You’re Feeling Down
It’s quite common for many people to get stuck in a rut from time to time, bored of the same routine, lacking excitement in day-to-day tasks. The trick is to recognize how you feel and start making some slight changes that can drastically improve how you feel, which will then, in fact, improve the work you produce, your health, and your relationships.
When someone is feeling down, they often slide into unhealthy patterns and have little hope that things will get better. The truth is, to get out of this rut, you must first begin looking on the bright side of every situation, point out the positive, and use it as a stepping stone to realizing there are changes in your life that need to be made.
If you’re feeling down, drained, or lacking motivation, there are many things you can do to sort out what is making you feel this way and refuel your energy.
- Write it out by journaling.
- Call a supportive and encouraging friend.
- Get 1 hour of exercise.
- Avoid the use of drugs and alcohol.
- Meditation
- Clean and declutter your work and living space.
- Practice good daily hygiene.
- Make a list of what you are grateful for and what you’d like to accomplish.
- Turn on a funny movie.
- Take a scenic drive and listen to uplifting music. Stop and take photos and videos along the way to capture the memory.
