Properly managing a sad moment has a lot to do with our attitude towards him, on many occasions, depending on our point of view, our interpretation and willingness to deal with it, the problem will increase or decrease in scale and volume.
First of all, it is important to talk about this time when we live the fantasy that we must always be good and happy, for some reason, the idea that we must be happy all the time, smiling, optimistic and in perfect harmony, dominated our minds.
- We all know that’s impossible.
- And not only is it impossible.
- But it would also be inappropriate.
- The philosophy of positive thinking cannot become a tyranny of positivity.
This is the first question to keep in mind when we are not just there, we do not commit any fault and nothing happens to us because we are in a sensitive or delicate moment.
“Sadness is one of the vibrations that prove that we are alive. “- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry-
Anyone who is alive and healthy from time to time will have a sad time, we all end up going through stages when things get complicated and don’t go the way we want them to.
There are also moments of fatigue, disappointment or boredom. No one leads a life perfect enough to never go through a difficult time.
There are also frustrated losses and desires that sadden us. It is very common for these stages to be confused with periods of depression. Many people say they feel depressed when in fact they are only sad about a specific cause.
Clinical depression is a much more complex and permanent condition than a simple moment or period of sadness or grief, it is necessary to identify an entire symptomatology for a relatively long period of time, and also that these symptoms cause a noticeable and negative change in the quality of life of the person.
It is important to manage sadness before it takes off, as they colloquially say, without overcoming it, the goal is to understand it to prevent it from happening.
To achieve this, the first step is to admit that we feel bad and unmotivated, and give us permission to be. The following actions should therefore be performed:
It’s very important that you don’t judge yourself or that you’re not too much yourself, there’s no reason to stop feeling sad when there’s a real reason you feel that way.
What you can do is put a limit on that mood, managing a feeling of sadness doesn’t mean taking him down now, but understanding it and preventing it from growing.
Another effective measure to deal with a sad moment is to switch to the “self-care” mode. Does it mean being pampered, eating something you love, taking the time to do something that comforts you?In other words, do an activity that feels good.
Also, try to think of all the reasons that make you feel lucky
It’s always a good idea to take a break from a negative mood, physical exercise is a good choice for this. You just need to take a walk, cross an area where you feel comfortable with faster steps for your body to produce hormones that will help you.
It is also highly recommended to eat well and hydrate well, this will help you feel a little better.
The most important thing will always be that you can express how you feel. If you want to cry, cry. Otherwise, remember that art is also a fabulous place to deal with sadness or any other more problematic feeling.
Paint, sing, dance or look for any other way to express how you feel, so you can take it off.
