4 Tips To Overcome Sadness

Some days we have no power. No motivation to start the day. These are the moments when sadness takes hold of us and drowns us with its veil of weakness. Don’t let this happen. In today’s blog we will give you 4 tips that can help you overcome sadness.

1. I accept the sadness, but force myself to continue

It’s okay to accept discouragement or sadness. And accept discouragement to make it happen. This is a simple rule of thumb worth understanding and applying in our daily lives.

Psychologists and psychiatrists tell us that sadness and despair often overtake us in the morning. These are the times when we feel powerless and without motivation to get out of bed. We must be careful not to get caught up in this feeling. Below we will list a number of standard phases.

• As soon as you open your eyes and wake up, you remember something that hurt or discouraged you.
• The ‘morning malaise’ robs us of our strength to get out of bed with the necessary energy.
• What you should do when you see this wall in your ‘mind’ is to first acknowledge that it is not right. We know there is a problem. Sometimes that makes you sad and takes away your strength. Are you going to overcome it by staying in bed? Not at all.
• Don’t get trapped by these negative thoughts. You may be able to overcome sadness bit by bit with small daily achievements. Get out of bed and dress in such a way that you find yourself beautiful in the mirror. Recognize that you are worth much more than this sadness and that life is to live and not to cry or give up.

• You know there are things that make you sad, but open the window and let it blow away little by little so you can breathe better.

2. Make your dreams come true every day

Maybe it’s cloudy outside today or a storm is coming and you feel like you don’t want to do anything. But do we gain anything by staying home and watching the rain? Not at all.

Don’t worry that the sky is dark or that you have more bags under your eyes today than yesterday. Or that you no longer have that person next to you who always made you happy.

It is time to look for new dreams and to undertake new projects. Dreams are born every day from small ideas that in turn can lead to great possibilities.

• Think of something you want to do today when you wake up. Go for a walk in the park, go shopping, call that friend you haven’t seen in a while, buy a new book, try on a new hairstyle, or take a class that interests you.
• Every change you make today will be a new bridge built for your happiness tomorrow. It’s worth trying.

3. The importance of knowing how to let go

You probably know what we mean by ‘letting go’. Everyone goes through different cycles and stages, moments in our lives where we are attached to certain people. Later we dissociate and start a new cycle.

There are those who do not want to accept these changes. Breaking up a relationship, losing an acquaintance, moving to another city, losing a job or a friendship…

Life is constantly changing and so we have to accept that we have to put the past behind us and look to the future. And this is not easy at all. It’s hard to say goodbye to someone we love. It’s hard to leave memories to focus in a different way tomorrow.

Then how do we do it? How can we let go of what we were or had yesterday? With courage, enthusiasm and good self-confidence. Imagine that life is like a big room full of doors that you can open. Don’t get trapped in a box full of memories. Open those doors in search of hope.

4. Renew and love yourself

Life is made up of changes and sadness is much more dangerous when we are silent, when we stay at home, never go out and don’t want to talk to anyone and take refuge in tears.

Avoid this! Any effort to overcome despair will undoubtedly free us from depression. We need to realize that everyone deserves to be happy and so do you.

Refresh yourself with new projects. Look at yourself and do something you’ve always wanted to do, but never dared to try. Are you going on holiday alone? Are you looking for a job in another city?

Life is accepting challenges and courage is needed to overcome sadness. We assure you that you can do it too. Because you deserve it. Don’t doubt it!
