Reminders when you are feeling down

Sadness is a feeling that we all experience occasionally. You might feel down for different reasons and on various levels. Maybe it's because of something that happened to you personally, or to other people. No matter the cause, it's important to keep in mind a few things when you're down.

-You are not alone. You are surrounded by people who care about you and want to support you through your difficulties. So ask for help from your friends and family. Or even online support groups, It can be very beneficial to talk to someone who can relate to what you're going through.

-Keep perspective. In the grand scheme of things, whatever is causing you sadness may seem like a big deal right now, but it probably isn't. Therefore, make an effort to take a step back, consider the big picture, and see the situation for what it truly is.

-Remind yourself that this is just a phase. Sadness is temporary and it will eventually pass. 

-Take care of yourself. When you're feeling down, it's easy to neglect yourself. But it's important to eat healthy, exercise, and get enough sleep. Self-care will help you feel better and cope with whatever is making you feel down.

-Go outside. Getting some fresh air and sunshine can help improve your mood. 

-Make a list of things that you find beautiful around you, and things you're grateful for. Gratitude is a great way to boost your mood.

-Be creative. Express yourself through art, music, writing, or whatever creative outlet you enjoy. You don't have to be super good at it, 

-Help others. Doing something nice for someone else can help you feel better about yourself.

-Spend time with animals. They can provide you with positive energy and unconditional love.

-Don't fight your emotions but don't let them control you either, allow them to teach you the lesson that you're supposed to learn from them.

-Keep yourself busy. Clean your house, read a book, or organize your computer files. Finishing some tasks, even small ones, will help you feel accomplished and give you a break from sadness.
