The
Most Practical Way To Get Rid Of Your Depression
There
are many things that can and need to be done when it comes to
recovering from depressive symptoms. These symptoms include
tiredness, issues concentrating, sleep changes, eating chances and a
loss if interest in activities and sex. In order to get rid of your
depression you must take action; not tomorrow, but starting right
now. The most practical way to gain relief from depressive symptoms
is to help your body make the changes directly for you. Train your
body to become resistant to depression, so that you can develop a
sort of immune or protective system within you, that relieves you
from current and shields you from future depressive attacks. Being
concerned with your thoughts is not practical. Changing your physical
health status is.
The
first step is to find a type of activity / exercise that suits you.
Choose at least one type of activity from your personal preferences.
It could be running, the gym, swimming, tennis, football, dancing,
cycling or any other type of activity.
The
second step is to schedule this activity at least 3 times per week.
It doesn’t have to be taking up a lot of time. Do what you can
without exaggerating and once your body has gained more strength you
can increase the work-out time. Be realistic about your goals. Do not
set yourself up to fail. If you are struggling with motivation, set
up a rule for yourself; such as: I will pursue my activity 10 minutes
a day.
The
third step is to document your schedule. Write down when and for how
long you worked out this week. Review the schedule once a week. Did
you complete your realistically set up goals for each of the days? Be
kind in your review, but not too lenient. Reward yourself for a job
well done!
Keep
this up and running and not only with your depression subside, you
will also be immunized against new depressive attacks.
Why
does activity work? Your body begins feeling less tired, due to the
exercise. Your mind is allowed to throw out pain and the activity
time gives you a clear mind with clear thought. All the anger and
anxiety that has gathered within you is burnt up as energy for your
activity. And most importantly, exercise triggers your body to
produce natural antidepressants, otherwise known as happiness
hormones (endorphins). These make your body happy and in turn your
body makes you feel enjoyment again.
