Happy autumn!
The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting grayer and darker: the thought that the cold season is not far off, we often fall into a dark mood. Must not be - because these tips can help!
Luckily for depression, this mood depression, also called autumn depression or autumn blues, is usually not much to do. Nevertheless, the sadness is oppressive and has a negative impact on motivation and drive. With a few simple tricks, the sun (albeit only symbolically) can get back into everyday life relatively quickly.
1st movement
Yes, exercise is not an insider's tip, but getting up is especially difficult in cloudy weather. Nevertheless, you should rather spend an extra sports lesson at the weekend and spend the lunch break with a long walk instead of in the canteen. That helps, promised!
2. Happy food
No, do not get the snacks out of the drawer right now! But certain foods actually make for a better mood: Magnesium-rich foods such as spinach, kohlrabi, raspberries and sunflower seeds are ideal - and yes, even chocolate brightens the mood. But then please the bittersweet version with real cocoa!
3. Breathing
In hectic everyday life, we often forget to breathe in and out properly. This little detail can be a cause of bad mood. So pay attention to it: inhale and exhale slowly and deeply. What seems a bit strange at first, can calm down quickly. Yoga is also ideal for training better breathing.
4. Positive thinking
It can be this simple: thoughts of the things that make us happy, or something we look forward to, make us happier. This can be a nice weekend getaway, but also something delicious to eat.
5. Time for me!
Taking a short break and enjoying time alone can work wonders. So: door to, favorite series and just for an evening in sweatpants rumlümmeln on the sofa. And leave the phone quiet ...
6. Color therapy
As an exception, but not only for the apartment: Instead of French manicure choose once again a bang for the nails and apply red lipstick. With the cheerful tones you not only bring a splash of color into the gray everyday life, but also make yourself happier.
7. Dress up!
With nails and lips, it does not just have to stay: make yourself really pretty and put on some of the best clothes - this not only provides memories of beautiful times but also numerous compliments. Who has nothing in the closet, indulges in something new again - even that can work wonders against the autumn blues!
