How to be happy during sad times

Everyone has times when things are not going well. It could be that you have experienced a loss or a disappointment, that work or school is not going so well, or simply that your relationship is going through a rocky patch. These tips are for when you are feeling down. If you suspect you have clinical depression you should consult a doctor. Seriously...haha...see me also can..

Steps to be happy:

1. Talk to someone like parent, spouse, or a friend. Often the things that are worrying or depressing us seem worse when we hold them inside. the very act of talking about them can make them seem smaller and less significant. Also, remembering that the people around us really care is very cheering.
2. Draw a picture of your feelings. It's a good way to vent negative feelings without hurting anyone else around you. It really doesn't matter whether you are any good at art or not - the idea is to let go of the thoughts and ideas that are building up inside you.
   
3. Write a list of your "blessings". Writing down everything you have to feel glad about might sound a bit "Pollyanna-ish" but it does sometimes put our woes in perspective.
4. Find your "Happy Place". Close your eyes and picture a place where you were very happy. Try to remember how you felt there. Remembering a time when you felt content and at ease will remind you that this period of your life will pass and you will feel happy again.
5. Get out and about. Don't sit at home moping, this will get you nowhere - going out and getting some fresh air will take your mind off feeling glum.
6. Exercise. Exercising releases chemicals in your brain which lift your mood. Go for a run, a swim, take a walk or go to the gym - whatever takes your fancy.
7. If you can play any instrument, you could play it.It may work, distracting you from the sad minds.It`s kind of "Killing Sadness"
8. Remember to laugh! Laughter is a great way to distract yourself from life's woe's.Meet up with friends and share good times.Even try a comedy club - they serve drinks/food so why not make a night of it.
   

To my dear friends,
Hey, there? Doing something positive can really lift your mood now. I find out that housework really helps as it makes you get up and do something and results in a satisfyingly clean house. So, what are u waiting for ?? My housemate: tt, jo, jihouh, ZX, YP,and ah leong.....haha!! u all can do this too, fast action now...clean our house and wash toilet la....
Warning!!!!!!
"Some people" self-medicate when they are feeling blue. Avoid using overindulging in food, alcohol, shopping, or exercise to cover up your feelings as this can lead to a very destructive vicious cycle. Don't go mamak to have supper when u feel sien lo.....hehe...

Wish you all happy always...
