How to get over Depression
1. Do
Yoga and more Yoga. It is the Best Antidepressant with no side effects. I am
speaking through experience. Whenever I feel lethargic and down, a little yoga
quickly brings me to high spirits.
2. Laugh
and laugh until laugh comes out naturally. Look at yourself in the mirror and
laugh. Initially you will have to force yourself to laugh. Keep laughing and
one day laugh will come out easily from the core of your being. For me, it
happened on the fifth day when I was about to give up. Since then I have been
able to laugh like a kid and laugh for no reason.
3. Let
go of attachment because nothing is permanent. It is difficult and painful but
it is the only way we can grow and find happiness again. A deep understanding
of impermanence is the key.
4. Take
a shower and cry your heart out. Tears are a gift given to us to release
negative emotions and free ourselves of sadness. A good cry under the shower
will wash away most of the pains you have been carrying in your heart and make
you feel much much lighter.
5. Feel
good and smile often even if you don’t feel like smiling. Research says that smiling
can trick your brain into believing you’re happy which can then spur actual
feelings of happiness. So fake it till you make it.
6. Promise
to love yourself and DO IT. Self- love is the Road to Recovery. Leave aside all
the conditioning and start loving yourself. You need you more than you need
anyone else.
Repeat this
for 10 days and you will come out a new being with new life.
Blessings, Inusha
