Brooding over our worries, we often drown in the bottomless sea of despair and fritter away our precious time. The deeper we dig, the greater our agony grows. We tend to feel that mulling over our problems will lead us to a solution and the accumulating anxiety will be alleviated. However, each time we rack our brains for a way out, our optimism and enthusiasm ebbs away, pushing us into the zone of negativity; ultimately the result is disastrous; mounting tension, ruining our mood and even putting our relationships at stake.
The better way to cope up with such issues is to divert our attention and indulge ourselves in something we really love to do: watching a movie, listening music or any creative activity like painting or gardening. It will mask our negativity and bring us back in our element. Furthermore, taking a nap or going out with our friends will not only change our environment and mood yet will certainly give us strength to think of a better solution, with renewed hopes plus zeal to encounter challenges of life.
Sometimes pouring our heart out, helps to a great extent; we may call one of the closest friends to confide in worries or start writing freely on a paper. Letting the weight off the heart, lightens our mind and we start behaving normally. Another way to feel contented is to smile as much as we can, since it instantly elevates our mood.
Drinking a lot of water and eating chocolates are too proven beneficial in staying happy and healthy as water is very effective in reducing stress and the sugar in chocolate boosts our levels of endorphins, a hormone that makes us happy.
In a nutshell, it’s all up to us, how we react in difficult moments; aggravate our anxiety by over thinking or assuage via smiling.
Great work! ;)
