How to overcome depression

"This too shall pass."

I would suggest to have hope and keep believing that things would soon turn out in their favor. Nothing is permanent, and even our shadow leaves us in darkness, this is just a tough phase, which he/she may need to go through in order to enjoy and experience better life in future, provided he/she is calm, composed and patient enough in living the present life as it is, having enough courage to withstand and overcome the same.

1. Give yourself some time to heal - Trust me time is the best healer, accept and embrace your life for what it is.

2. Start loving yourself more - When you can love someone, you can certainly love yourself, why not make that a priority and pamper yourself more.

3. Be adventurous and Travel to new places - You can take a break to travel and explore a new place for bringing a change in yourself.

4. Volunteer - You can help people by volunteering or teaching underprivileged children.

5. Pickup a new hobby/skill - You can learn a new hobby, which you always wanted to learn since childhood.

6. Talk to elders - You can talk to elders and people who are more experienced than you to know how they managed to overcome similar situations in their life.

7. Spend time alone - You can do a self introspection, to get insights on how to make your life more meaningful.

8. Participate in group activities - Socialize more and participate in group and fun activities to meet new friends.

9. Meditation and breathing exercises - Practice meditation to calm your mind without worrying too much about past or anxious about future.

10. Spiritual - You can Pray to God to give you the strength and courage to overcome difficult situations and have HOPE all the time.

Try practicing this serenity prayer everyday.

“God give me the strength to accept the things that I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Thank You.
