Cold season at all acts differently: someone feels a rush of vivacity and good mood, and someone begins to mope. How easy it is to cope with winter melancholy will tell this article.
Winter melancholy.
So the winter came! And with her came the cold, slush, followed by ice, late dawn, early sunset. And we increasingly feel a slight sense of longing for a hot summer. The feeling of discontent with the weather gradually spreads to our life, work, home, life. I want to spend more time in bed or in front of the TV, wrapped in a warm blanket, and weaving my favorite delicacy. If you experience something like this, you can safely make a diagnosis - you have a melancholy!
On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with this mood. A person can not constantly rejoice, have fun, experience only positive emotions, be at the peak of activity and ability to work. Your feelings also need rest. But if such an emotional state from a temporary phenomenon turns into a permanent one, it is worth considering whether it is time to shake and get rid of the blues?
So what if you suddenly overcome the blues? How to cheer up and get good mood for a long period? I offer several proven, and most importantly effective ways.
- Bring a variety into your daily menu. Try to prepare a new dish, perhaps from some non-standard cuisine, which you are not familiar with yet. For example, something from Japanese or Indian cuisine. If you still adhere to the classical cuisine, try to master the recipe from Bulgarian or maybe Italian cuisine. In any case, the main thing is the desire to experiment and please yourself and your relatives with something delicious and unusual. And do not forget about desserts! After all, sweet (in moderate amounts) raises the mood to all without exception.
- Update the wardrobe. For many women this is a 100% option of getting rid of blues, depression, irritation and discontent. Just a couple of hours' walk to the shops, and you are full of new strengths and ready for great achievements. But it is always worth remembering the material side of the question. Before you visit the store, calculate the exact amount that you can spend at the moment on clothes, shoes or accessories, so that in a fit of feelings do not spend all available money and do not stay "in the sand". And one more thing that you should not forget about when shopping. Do not miss all the things that fall under your arm. Try and reasonably estimate: whether this thing goes to you or not, whether you will carry it in the future, whether the price of this thing corresponds to its quality. Take a loved one with whom you trust. It will help you make the right choice and not make mistakes with your purchases. In addition, shopping is also an excellent occasion to meet and talk again.
- Fill the house with flowers and fragrances. Our feelings directly depend on what kind of atmosphere surrounds us. And the more colorful, brighter and more interesting your home environment, the less you will be overcome by spleen. Fill your house with fresh flowers or a variant with dried Ikebana, buy special clay pendants, and drop a couple drops of essential oils of lemon, orange or any other in your discretion. And your house will be filled with fragrances and flowers that will remind you that even after the longest and coldest winter, there always comes a warm, sunny summer.
- Moral and emotional mood . Whatever you cook, whatever you put on and decorate the house, the main condition for getting rid of the winter spleen will always be the right moral attitude. Try to think positively, do not focus on failures for a long time. And every time try to set real goals for yourself, so that, with some effort, you can achieve them. After all, nothing is more disappointing than its own failures!
There are a lot of ways, getting rid of the spleen. Find the right one for you. And let him help you to restore mental strength and cheer up.
Be cheerful, active, hardworking and you will succeed!
