How do you boost your self-esteem when you're feeling down and depressed?
As long as we are trying to survive and struggle in life, we will always experience joy, sorrow, sadness, and depression. Life is not always smooth and easy, but it is not always rough and difficult. Comfortable situations do not hurt anyone, but when things go wrong, we all feel unhappy and miserable.
1) You should calm down.
First, if you feel bad in your mind because of something, you are the first to know. At that time, be careful with yourself. When you are feeling stressed, sad, or in pain, your mind is chaotic and you start thinking about the problem again and again. That is why you will be more stressed and more depressed. Understand that in such a situation, your mind is the main thing. You should first calm down your mind. For example. Meditate, or sit alone in a quiet place with your eyes closed for a while. Try reciting a scripture. When you meditate, your mind is always thinking about problems, but for a while, focus on reciting the mantra carefully. When you focus on the mantra, you will forget about your problems and become calm. Follow your religion. Calmness is the key. Do yoga.
2) Think about what you have achieved.
You have experienced many unpleasant and painful things in your life. Think about problems that you thought you could not solve before, and you managed to overcome them, and think about the problems that were too big and impossible for you to overcome. Have you ever thought that you could not solve them yourself? Are those problems still there or are they still happening? How did you get through them? Did you do it? At some point, no matter how big the problem is, you will be able to overcome it. You just need to believe in yourself.
3) Encourage yourself.
You can only solve the problems that are in your mind. If it is because of other people, think about the best way to solve them and solve them. If there is a problem that you cannot solve, that is, a problem that you cannot control, then don’t focus on it. Focusing on what you can fix can help you change it. Don’t let that problem get to you. If it’s a problem that comes from your mind, encourage yourself. “I can solve it… I’ve overcome things that I thought were difficult before.” Say something like that to yourself. You can only encourage yourself if you have a problem that comes from your mind. “I can do it. I can succeed. Can I give up like this? No one can beat me.” Encourage yourself. It really helps.
4) Being alive is the best chance.
No matter how many difficulties and challenges you face. As long as you are alive, you have the opportunity to try again and win. What can you try if you are not alive? You still want to try, but if you are not alive, you can’t try anything. So, isn’t being alive the best chance for you to try again? So make the most of the opportunity to be alive. Your difficulties are nothing if you solve them yourself.
5) Think about the people who love you.
Finally, think about the people who love you. There are many people who love you. After all, there are many people who love you sincerely, whether it's your parents or your children or your close friends, or your school friends, or your work friends. That's why you shouldn't be upset and broken because of trivial difficulties. There is no need to be depressed. You are not alone in suffering and facing difficulties. Throughout your life, people just like you face difficulties, solve them, get over them, and face new problems. You are not alone. You have many people who love you. How encouraging!
In life, everyone is busy trying to save themselves. So instead of waiting for others to come and save you, try to revive your mind and move forward in life. Try the above points to make yourself strong.
