While chronic
depression may require medical care to recover, the temporary variety can
usually be handled with home remedies and practical applications. There are
probably as many things that can cause us to feel blue as there are ways to get
around the problem. Here are a few that may come in handy the next time this
emotion descends on you:
Action: There is
something to be said for getting your body in motion. Both creativity and
exercise can be beneficial actions for you to take. As an example, I enjoy
cooking. When I'm depressed, it is soothing for me to create an excellent meal.
The more complicated the dish, the better the chances of dispelling the mood.
Going for a walk,
a trip to the gym or a few laps in the pool may also help you. This releases
endorphins, which provide the high feeling many runners talk about.
Concentrating on tasks also lets your subconscious wrestle with the problems
you're facing, and like as not you will have fresh insight on how to deal with
them after you're done.
Herbs: A variety
of herbal remedies could help in most cases. If the depression is ongoing, you
may want to use St. John's Wort. It does take a few days for this herb to
provide any noticeable changes, and they will be subtle. Chamomile, jasmine,
lavender, passionflower and rosemary may be helpful as well.
Talk/Write:
Saying your problems and feelings out loud could help you pinpoint the exact
difficulty if it's still vague. When you're speaking about it to a receptive
audience, it's even better. If you don't have a close friend or spouse to talk
to, you might want to consider going to your spiritual leader. Pastors and
other religious leaders are often trained in counseling their flock.
Some problems are
too personal for this, and some of you may be too shy to speak about these
things. If that is the case, I recommend you begin a journal. Like speaking,
writing will help you focus on the exact difficulty, which is usually half of
the battle to resolving it. As you go along, you can go back and reread the
entries and notice a pattern that could help you finish resolving the issue.
6 Days 6 Meathods to Remove Depression
- Know what you like.
- Eat a banana. Did you know that foods rich in potassium, such as bananas, encourage feelings of wellbeing and cheerfulness?
- Don't let your bum and thighs get you gown-invest in some body-changing underwear. Even Gwyneth Paltrow felt the need for some post-pregnancy body confidence and swore by her Spanx Power panties.
- If you have a nagging voice in your head constantly putting you down, give in to it. Sit quietly for as long as it takes to listen to all that self-criticism until you're so bored you switch off.
- Use flower power. A few drops of a flower remedy in water can help balance negative emotions. Try Larch if you are feeling inferior, Gorse if you are feeling hopeless, Crap-apple if you have a poor self-image or Cerato if you doubt your own ability to judge situations.
- Write down what you dislike about yourself, then burn the piece of paper and watch it disappear. It's a symbolic gesture, but very effective.
