Description: Feeling-down is a natural part of life. People let-us down, things go-wrong, we lose people we love or the dreams we've valued. When feeling down stretches over weeks or months, is occurring frequently and interfering with your ability to interact with people and enjoy-your-life, it is likely that you're experiencing some form of depression. Here are few tips on how to deal with depression. 1.Sleep-well. Sleep is essential to a healthy, balanced-body. Lack of sleep can aggravate negative-thinking and easily becomes a vicious-cycle whereby your negative thoughts keep you awake and disable your ability to get enough sleep. Waking unrefreshed and feeling tired is a common complaint during depression, and even too much sleep can leave depressed persons feeling-tired. 2.Exercise. Exercise releases a natural anti-depressant chemical in your brain and gets you into doing something active. Start small with a simple walk to the local store or around the block, or to your garden gate might be the way to begin. Gradually work-up to a routine that fits with your needs and enjoyment. 3.Eat-healthy. Reduce your intake of sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fast-foods, and processed-foods. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole-foods. Drink plenty of water and do some research on foods that are said to improve your state of mind and well-being. 4.Restore any neglected grooming. It's can be easy to let yourself go when depressed and to pay no-attention to appearance and clothing. Reintroducing daily attention to grooming can help improve your mood and give you a sense of well-being. Get a new haircut or new-clothes as part of cheering yourself-up. And concentrate on the parts that you do love about yourself instead of fretting over what you don't like 5.Be around positive people. Talk with friends, family and colleagues who make you feel-good and who are good to be around. Spend time with people who see the world in a positive-way and ask them to share their visions, ideas, and approaches to life with you. Most positive people will be more than happy to reveal the things that help them keep upbeat and happy about their-lives. Learn from them. 6.Keep occupied. Being-busy is a way to prevent negative thoughts from going around your head repeatedly. For depressed persons, the first step is often the hardest, so making yourself do things can be a huge difference in your day and getting you started. 7.Do fun things and treat yourself. Feeling down feeds on itself and it soon becomes a catch-22 when you convince yourself that you don't deserve to enjoy-anything. The antidote is to do things that you used to enjoy or that are fun for people around you — "one fun thing a day to keep the blues at bay 8.Think-positively. Being a more-positive thinker will help you look at your-life and world in a way that fills you with hope instead of despair. To think more positively, you should learn how to recognise your negative-thoughts and to fight them with stronger positive thoughts whenever you can.
