3 Ways To Kick The Blues



Everyone gets the "blues" from time to time, whether its to much stress, or not enough of the human contact A.K.A feeling lonely, or if you suffer from clinical depression and/or anxiety. No one likes feeling sad... unless...you do, it's just no fun, and it can be hard next to impossible to get over "the funk" as some would say. So im just gonna tell you some of the things i do when it hits me.
 
 
1. Dance Break
 
Blast your favorite upbeat songs and dance like nobody's watchin'. Let's hope nobody watching. Not only will trying not to trip and fall flat on your face disrtcat you, you'll be getting a great workout, plus all those endorphines cant hurt either. And if you're not into dancing, feel free to belt out notes as off key as you'd like.
 
 
2. Say Cheese
 
Even when you dont feel like forcing yourself to smile and laugh can lead you to acutally really start laughing. Dont go crazy with though, and i refrain from maniacally laughing in public(because thats just weird). If You need a little help, try watch some funny videos or movies.
 
 
3. Write About It
 
Try sitting down and writing every thing that you feel, every thought that comes to mind. write it like you're saying it out loud to some one. Dont worry about spelling or grammar just keep writing beacuse, once you finsh writing you gonna trash it, delete it, rip it up and burn it if you want, just get rid of it. It's a good way to get everything off your chest without having to go back and bring up old feelings. You can even record yourself if youd rather say it out loud. Just make sure to delete it and dont replay it.
 
 
There is absolutly NO SHAME in asking for help when you need it. Seeing a therapist is a great way to keep yourself from bottling up your emotions. And if all else fails, 4. just YouTube Anna Akana.
    
What do you do to cheer yourself up?
