Dealing with the lowest days in a realistic way

And there are some days when you don’t feel the best. You mind, body and soul doesn’t support you. All you feel is to lie down on the couch or bed watching series and having a whole family pack ice-cream all by yourself. The vibe and energy around you is killed and nothing, I repeat nothing makes you feel good. So, how do you deal with it?

My personal therapy secret

I let it flow and let all the pain and hard feelings soak up. I don’t try to distract my mind by any temporary solutions. People often say that you should distract your mind when you are feeling something negative but I am totally against it as it is just a temporary solution and it will come back again if you don’t feel it up.

Although I am gonna mention about distracting by doing our favourite things which makes us happy but at a certain point of time after a certain period. When it should be done, how it should be done and at what frequency it should be done.

My 6 step healing process

Talk the tears

I am an emotional baby. I cry on the silliest things which doesn’t have any point.

Anyways, if you feel like crying, cry it up. Don’t let it burden you. The more you let it burn inside you the more it will destroy you internally. Once you are done crying, talk about it. Talk about what is bothering you with your close one whom you can rely. JUST DON’T TRY TO DISTRACT YOUR MIND AS IT WILL KILL YOU. Talking to your person lightens the burden which will help you out.

Connect the dots and know the cause

We don’t feel low without any genuine reason. Once you find out what is making you so much bothered, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT try to defend it. Your brain will try to defend your thoughts which will make it more problematic. Connect the dots of the problem and the cause.

Solution time

Find the genuine solution of what you can do about it. What I do is, I write. I make a pros and cons list. I prioritize my mental health and find what can work best for me to get over it. And 99% of the time, I get the solution

Is it in your hands?

If yes- What are you waiting for? Starting working on it. Get out of the toxic environment which is carrying you down. I know sometimes things aren’t that easy but if you don’t sort it out now, it can go into the worst situation.

If no- Well, I am sorry for you but there is something that might still help. Read my blog on Accepting the things you cannot control.

Distracting time

I am assuming that the thing that is bothering you is not your control and you just need to face with it. This is the last thing I would do to help myself. Apparently, you now just need to get over it by distracting yourself. Do what makes you genuinely happy. Go for a walk, read a book, a self-date. Anything that would just make you feel better for a moment.

Way to self-enlightenment

You become much more the moment you realise that you are meant for the purposes that demand you to let go that consumes so much of you. Be grateful. Practice gratitude.

Well, everything happens for a reason. Even if it is in your control or not. If it is meant to be, it will and if it is not, it won’t.

I would love to know how do you deal with your lowest days. Mention down in the comment section.
