What's Happening?
these tips I do to avoid getting depressed, so these things i always do daily to avoid getting stressed in any kind of way.
1. Praying
I'm a Muslim so praying is one of the many things that I have to do daily, it gives me calmness throughout the day and reminds me that I am not alone in this life and always makes me feel peaceful during the morning, I ignore any kind of interaction with my phone especially in the morning because I wanna feel peaceful as much as I can and interacting wouldn't make me feel like that.
2. Drinking coffee.
Drinking coffee in the morning is just awesome it gives me the energy to continue without naping, but i always drink after getting breakfast because without eating it can give me feeling dizzy because it increases my heart rate, if it's in winter I drink hot and if its summer I drink it cold.
3. Drinking Lemon water
GUYS, it's a game-changer I swear, its so good for yall, and didn't know that my acne would be gone that fast, waking up and drinking this makes your body feel good in some way, I do it in a bug bottle to drink it the whole day and yes I am a kind of person who doesn't like the taste of water so I would not drink all day, so I do it overnight and keep it in the fridge and keep drinking the whole day.
4. Sunlight.
Before doing anything get anything to drink and go to the nearest or closest area in your house and sit in it and read a book or something, you need sunlight on your body in any way because duh Vitamin D plus it feels good to start mornings like this to feel better about yourself and it has a lot of benefits, Check here if you wanna see the benefits.
5. Sports
any kind of movement really makes the person feel better about themselves, I'm not saying gym or hardcore cardio, I mean movement like yoga or just do pushups in the living room beside the TV, I always do the gym one but some days I hate going out of home and don't feel like interacting with other people, so I do small movements the whole day for example if I am in the kitchen I do squats while the food is warming up.
I am Farrah and will tell you tips for your life to follow from my perspective and the experiences that I've been through.
1. put yourself as a priority, no one will be there for you as much you think, you are the person that is there for you.
2. sleep enough, yes go out and have fun but do a balance in life, yes I will sleep early and yes will go out with friends but balance it up.
3. do the thing you enjoy the most like reading or swimming.
4. when you need a break, take a break and don't stress yourself out.
Thanks for sharing these great tips Farah! I need to drink more water so I appreciate this reminder.

DeleteWhat a great post! I've realised that there are certain things I have do to every day in order to keep depression at bay (I was diagnosed in 2014!) I agree with the sunlight and coffee. The two together, sat in the garden on a warm summers day is so perfect. I find that a walk amongst nature helps to, and if you can get to the beach and watch the waves, even better. Have you tried peppermint tea? I find it so calming and soothing :) Thanks so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely great things to do daily! thanks so much for sharing them!
