Whenever i'm feeling down, i would just find a quiet place, sit down and listen to some light music. That makes me look into my soul and soon i would cheer up again. And additionally, jogging i think is the best and fastest way to shake off your bad feeling. I always use this method when i feel much pressure. and it really works!

Fresh cut flowers in the house and music always seem to lift my mood. I also keep a journal of "firsts." ie. The first time this year that I saw a robin in my yard. Because I'm looking for them, I always experience something new each day. I also write a list of things that I'm grateful for every morning and every evening. Sometimes it's something as simple as having a warm bed to sleep in. There are so many people who do not have something even that basic. A couple of years ago, I defined all of the things that I am passionate about. In my case, those things are writing, travel, gardening, the beach and reading. My to do list every day incorporates something from each of those categories. Try it and see how your mood lifts when you lose yourself in something that you love. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the addition. The Firsts is new to me, I will try too. We are lucky enough, so comparison with the inferior in living conditions is also a way.

When I am down I will do this: Going out alone,sometimes listening music with my earphone,sometimes just look at things along the street! Stay in my room,I would buy a lot of snacks,sometimes I will buy the one that I have been misses most,and then enjoy myself in my room! It helps me a lot!

Hello my friend zhuhuifen46 Ji, So nice of your suggestion to part away with ill-feelings, but they are the means for outside, to show others taht one has changed and looks different in one's attaire. But how would you mold yourself internally. For this one must have strong will and pleasure. I think, if you think any of the following : You may achieve, something much greater in life. may god bless you and have a great time. SATSANG (a) ”If you can balance /stable your mind, when people around you are in un-balanced , and at the same time blaming you”. (NO-reaction) (b) “If you have belief on yourself, when others have doubt and at the same time, you strongly oppose their belief of their doubt” (c) “If you can wait for Good/Bright days without loosing patience/getting disheartened of waiting”. (d) “Everyone around you is deceiving you , whereas you are not in any way.” (e) “ Every body hates you and you do not, at the same time, you ARE not proud to be ‘good’ and ‘wise’. (f) “ If you Can dream, but do not allow them to overpower you, and you Can ‘think’ but at the same time, do not plunge into dreams of ‘thinking”. (g) “If you can welcome ‘gains’ and ‘defeat’ OR ‘profit’ & ‘loss’ with open hearts and they do not unbalance your mind”. (h) “If you can accept your own words in twisted/mutilated /distorted form, happily by ‘fools’ and they do not involve you in their bad plans”. (i)“ If you Can bear/tolerate the ‘gains’ accomplished by you ‘raise to ashes’ , for which you took whole life to build, and at the same time you can once again order your tired hands to restart making”. (J) “ If you can take one chance to reduce your gains in your life, ‘loose’ or ‘gain’ (like a great gambler) (k)“If you can, after loosing every bit in your life, get ready fresh to obtain the same with total energy from all corners of your body and mind, without uttering a single word even”. (l)“ If you Can compel your heart, mind and limbs, when they are so tired and refuse to accept any thing, except that your ‘belief’ and ‘desire’ to order them that they have to march forward and not falling back”. (m) “ If you can roam in crowds, but do not allow your ‘thoughts’ and ’abilities’ to wander stray, and you live with emperor, but do not neglect common man “. (n) “ If you are unharmed by people loving you and people hating you”. (o)“ If you Can respect everybody within the limits, but at the same time nobody”. (p)“ IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THE UN-EXCUSED MOMENT/SECOND (time) OF YOUR LIFE, AND EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE SAME”. Then, the whole world belongs to you only and every thing that exists on this, at the same time you fall under the category of ‘ACTUAL HUMAN BEING ’, which is greatest achievement in the life than any thing else”.

You must think postive - be an optimist! Change your negative thoughts into harmonious thought. Meditate - it really helps a lot..or do yoga.. You may also pamper yourself just to boost your confidence in youself. You must learn to control your emotions, do something else that would distract your negative thoughts such as doing something that you enjoy like dancing, reading, playing badminton. Take a deep breath and enjoy life!
