How to get out of a depressed mood
Depressed mood can be overwhelmingly detrimental, making life feel meaningless. You may feel lost, devoid of purpose, and as if everything is working against you. Life becomes a repetitive cycle, and nothing seems to energize you anymore. The feeling of lingering sadness is unexplainable, and happiness seems like a distant memory.
The Connection Between Mind and Spirit
Psychology often links low mood to a hormonal imbalance. However, we must consider not just the physical body but also the spirit that inhabits it. Viewing mental health solely from a physical perspective and ignoring the soul and life experiences seems invalid.
While hormonal imbalances can contribute to depression, it's also influenced by your environment, experiences, and emotional energies. Unhappiness at its core is often a misbalance between chaos and order—either too much chaos or too much predictability. Happiness is found in balancing chaos and order, where you have enough excitement to challenge you and enough stability to feel safe.
Steps to Lift Your Mood
Self-Care with Loving Intention A healthy mind requires a healthy body. We have direct control over how we treat our bodies. Start by treating your body nicely and taking good care of it. Self-care should come from a place of love, not correction. You deserve love, good nutrition, and to be taken care of.
A Clean Environment Cleaning up your environment helps reduce mental chaos and provides a sense of accomplishment. A tidy space can energize you and make you feel more in control.
Awareness of Inner Dialogue Unhappiness often stems from negative self-talk. Inner dialogues like "I am not good enough" or "I need to do more" prevent peace with the present moment. Be aware of your inner dialogue and replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations like "I am good enough" or "It's okay to have a low day." Happiness cultivated now leads to better life circumstances.
Affirmations Affirmations can shift your mind from negative to positive. Repeating affirmations, especially before bed and first thing in the morning, can imprint positivity on your subconscious.
Gratefulness To become happier, change your frequency. Being grateful in the present attracts more good circumstances. Find things to be grateful for, such as food, technology, opportunities, friends, and family. Expressing gratitude brings more things to be grateful for.
Conclusion
Focus on yourself, your feelings, and the frequencies you emit. Happiness improves when you change your present frequency through self-love and positive self-talk. Support yourself during low moments, meditate, and bring your attention to the present with your breath.
