Having the worst day, experiencing a mental breakdown or just not
knowing what to do you with your life anymore. Does this sound familiar? It’s because
it is.
We all go through these moments because we’re human. The problem is that
we don’t often talk about having a bad day anymore because we live in a world
were perfection is something we strive for. We often even feel ashamed for
feeling the way we do.
I have mental breakdowns, quite a lot of them honestly. And these
are my tips on how I overcome them when they’re happening:
1. Practice living in the NOW
Don’t look back at your past for it is not here anymore and don’t
think about your future since it’s not here yet. Live in the present moment and
enjoy every moment to the fullest like it’s your last one. The only time you
can fully enjoy is right now.
2. Love and appreciate
Love is what aligns us with the Universe. Love is what grows
stronger, love is the root for all good in life. You can either choose to love
and appreciate or to hate. We only attract what we send out to the Universe.
Choose wisely.
3. Positive thinking
In alignment with my previous point, there’s positive thinking. Have
you ever noticed how we can be prejudiced by someone because someone else spoke
badly about them, even though in the end, it’s actually a pretty nice person?
We attract negative emotions by negative thinking. In another way, we can look
at “bad” happenings in a way that it doesn’t seem all that bad anymore by positive
thinking.
4. Cry
It’s okay to have a good cry. We are often told that we need to “man
up” by society, that we’re weak when we cry and that we aren’t supposed to cry
in public. We feel ashamed when we show emotions these days. We’re not robots,
you guys. We aren’t programmed to be inhuman. Have a cry when you need to and
don’t apologize for it.
5. Listen to funky music
Music can make our moods go up. Choose music that isn’t attached to
any bad memories. Choose music that’s new, a song you never heard of or maybe
some 80’s music. For me, 80’s music is barely attached to any memories I have, so
I tend to listen to that instead of going on a trip to memory lane when listening
to Mariah Carey that reminds me of that time my high school boyfriend cheated
on me. It won’t help me feel any better. Have a dance, listen to music that
brings out the disco guy/gal in you!
6. Bake/cook
Allow yourself some comfort food. Plus, cooking and baking can bring
your mind off of the things you’ve kept your mind on for a little too long
which caused you to have this breakdown you want to get out of.
7. Meditation
Meditation allows you to observe what you feel and think. It also
allows you to let it go afterwards and feel reborn when you end the session.
You don’t have to sit at home on a carpet cross-legged to meditate. You can
just do it anywhere. Observe your body. What do you feel, what are you thinking
of. Then allow yourself to feel this way and then let it go. Observe what’s
right in front of you. The person sitting in front of you on the bus, the flame
of the candle you’re looking at, the rain on the window. Observe what is and go
back to your roots to let go of stress and negative emotions.
8. Journal
Writing down your feelings can be of great help! Writing it down can
be a way to let it go. Think of it in this way: writing down what you feel or
what you’re struggling with is a way to let it go out of your system and let it
be the paper’s problem now.
9. Talk about it
Have a talk with someone you can trust. Talk about your issues and let
someone else look at it from their perspective. Maybe they can help you with
anything. Don’t be afraid to ask for help either. Chances are they will be happier
to help you out than to sit there and wait for it to pass.
10. Go out for a walk
Be alone with nature, look at what you pass on your walk outside.
Look at the trees, listen to the birds. Allow yourself to get lost in this for
a moment. Going out in nature can restore the balance in your mind and lowers
your blood pressure. Getting out more often can also improve your memory, is a
good addition in fighting depression and just your overall well-being and
mental health.
11. Make a list
Checking off things can leave you with such a satisfying feeling! Make
sure to have separate lists for your goals, your to do’s short term and long
term even your frustrations or pet peeves.
12. Laugh
There’s just nothing a Jim Carrey movie can’t solve, right?
13. Unsubscribe
Unsubscribe from unhealthy newsletter, messages, mailing lists. Unfollow
accounts that give you a bad vibe or the ones that don’t make you feel better
about yourself. What helped me personally is to unsubscribe from any media newsletters,
I don’t have any news website as my homepage anymore and I avoid watching the
news or listening to the radio. The media is feeding off of bad energy and
makes the world a little worse than it already is, they keep stirring in pots
to make profits out of it and I just feel way better for not supporting these
actions anymore.
14. Sleep
You need sleep! Sleep 6-8 hours minimum per night! Turn off your
screens at least 30 minutes before going to bed and read a book so you have a
better night’s rest. Don’t eat a few hour before going to bed and don’t snack
things like chocolate or chips in the evening hours. Don’t drink too much
either, because you might end up going to the toilet the entire night.
I used to struggle with nightmares and hypnopompic hallucinations
which are basically hallucinations in the waking-up process. I tried medication
but nothing really helped. Then someone told me to sleep on my belly instead of
on my back. I don’t experience having that many nightmares anymore.
15. Allow yourself a treat
But in moderation of course! Try to do the first above mentioned
things first. You might have this feeling that you really need that glass of
wine, and when you do, don’t hate yourself for it. Instead enjoy it with your
full attention. But chances are, after finishing the points above, you won’t
even want the glass of wine anymore. You’ll feel fine as it is already.
I believe in you!

LOVE SPELLS THAT WORKS I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution.
ReplyDeleteMy husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr. Ojoka a spell caster, can help get lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after some days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family.
