How do you get yourself back on track and get things going when things go wrong?

There are three ways to improve that help me the most when I’m going through a rough patch.

• The first is to take a walk and immerse ourselves in good memories. By doing so, we promote endorphin production.

• Just tell yourself, as King Solomon said, “This too shall pass.”

• Find at least five items that were good about the day. For example: I woke up, I’m healthy, I have arms and legs, I have finances, hobbies, etc.

But there are other methods that may work for you.

How not to succumb to apathy

Apathy is a state of the psyche, which is characterized by a complete absence or sharp decrease in aspirations and interests, suppressed emotions, as well as indifference to current events and surrounding people.

The only thing you can do for yourself in circumstances beyond your control is to take care of yourself.

Basic care starts with the body. A sleep and rest regimen is the most important and easiest thing to build in order to feel better. It seems self-evident, and many people simply don’t consider this factor in stress prevention. Meanwhile, healthy sleep is the foundation of your body’s recovery.

Move more, movement is the body’s way of dealing with stress. You can start by cleaning, giving away unnecessary things or sorting out those that are put away in the closet for the season. Then do some exercise or a full-body workout. Running, Nordic walking, swimming, fitness. Many people are greatly helped by practicing qigong or yoga.

Manifesting negative emotions through exercise will help to avoid unpleasant consequences. Read more about it in the link below.

Notice what you like about people, events and the day. The importance of cognitive attitudes for stress prevention has been the subject of a great deal of research. If you manage to focus on something positive, it triggers new neural connections in the brain and unlocks the inner resources of the psyche.

Create useful daily rituals that will distract you from the state of apathy. For example, try performing habitual activities with your left hand (this is how neural connections change) or reading a few pages of a paper book before bed.
