1. Acknowledge how you feel – as it’s better to be real than to stuff your emotions and pretend that things
are fine.
2. Encourage someone else … and see the difference it makes. It will not just help them, you will feel much better, too.
3. Get some exercise. Exercise releases the “feel good” hormones (endorphins) so you’ll feel less depressed, and you’ll have more energy.
4. Set some short term goals, and then work to reach those goals. There’s nothing like success for improving how we feel.
5. Focus on the things that you naturally do well – to remind yourself, again, of your talents and your strengths.
6. Talk to a friend. There nothing worse than feeling isolated and alone. But spending time with others can raise your self-esteem. Also, it puts things in perspective - so your problems start to shrink.
7. Reward yourself, or do something you enjoy. You deserve to be nurtured, affirmed and treated well. When you’re battling your feelings you need that extra lift.
8. Journal how you feel. It’s highly therapeutic to express what’s on your mind - and when it’s out in the open it starts to lose its hold.
