NOT GETTING BUMMED OUT FROM UPSETTING THINGS

It's very easy to enter a depressive state nowadays, especially with all of the things that are going on right now. We can still do things to acknowledge what is going on without having a dark mindset.

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS

this is the first and arguably most crucial step. It's important to allow yourself to feel what you're feeling. Do not attempt to suppress your emotions or berate yourself for feeling a certain way. Instead, acknowledge these feelings as a natural reaction to something upsetting.

PRACTICE MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is the ability to stay fully engaged in the present moment. This practice can help you avoid dwelling excessively on things that upset you. Try to focus on your breath, the sensation of the air around you, or the sounds you hear. This can provide a much needed break from the cycle of negative thoughts.

DON'T OVER CONSUME

Over consuming negative media can be another way we can put pressure on our mind. The more negative media we consume the more negative thoughts we have. Blocking certain tags on social sites can be a great way to eliminate negative media in your life. Recognizing these things going on in the world is great, but throwing yourself into all of it isn't.

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE

When something upsetting occurs, it's easy to get lost in a sea of negativity. However, try to shift your focus to something positive in your life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. This could be anything from a recent accomplishment to the love and support of your friends and family. Remembering what you're grateful for can help improve your mood.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH

Physical health has a profound impact on mental well-being. Regular exercise can help boost your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. It doesn't have to be anything intense, a simple walk or a few stretches can make a world of difference. In addition to exercise, make sure you're getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet. These steps will ensure your body is well-equipped to handle emotional distress.
