Steps To Let Out & Overcome Sadness

I'm writing this because I, myself is dealing with this feeling and I would like to share those steps with you. This is not my original writing. Thanks to Google for all the useful informations. I hope it'll benefit you.


How To Let Out Sadness

• Call someone who can give you some guidance.It Doesn't matter who the person is as long as he/she can make you feels better.
• Go somewhere where you can be alone. It helps if your family are out of the house, but if not, go to your room or some private space. Tell them not to disturb you.
• Let it all out. All the sadness, upset, misery up inside you has to go. Cry it out. You will feel so much better afterwards.
• After you have finished crying, lie back on your bed and think through what has happened. If it makes you upset, don’t be afraid to cry again. No one can see you, so don’t be embarrassed, just get a big box of tissues and let it all out.
• Get a diary or create a blog. Write down what you feel, what has happened, how upset you are. It will feel so much better to write it all down, and it will help to get it all out even more.
• Get a big tub of ice cream and rent a film. Eat the ice cream all to yourself, and sit in or on your bed covered in cushions and blankets. Wear your sweats, have messy hair, nobody can see and nobody cares. Relax, make yourself feel so much better. Forget about your diet routine for a while.
• Invite a close friend over. Dry your eyes, lay back on your bed and tell him/her whats wrong. They can reassure you and give advice.
• I know that crying yourself to sleep is a bad thing, but at night, your mind is not occupied and you think back to your sadness. Don't restrict the tears, let them come naturally. Eventually you will fall asleep into a peaceful place and hopefully have sweet dreams.

Steps to Overcome Sadness

1. Express your feelings. Bottling your emotions inside won't make them go away and won't allow you to move forward. Cry, scream or write an angry letter. Don't mail it, but write it so you can say all the things you want to say.
2. Evaluate your life. If there are things that add to your sadness, such as drugs, alcohol abuse or a toxic relationship, break that cycle and end the pain. It will take time, but you will heal and be better for doing so.
   
3. Get plenty of exercise. Even if you're not in shape to run a marathon, taking a walk in the morning or after dinner will help relieve stress, which also helps you overcome sadness and depression.
   
4. Do something positive for someone else. The best way to overcome sadness and depression is to be of service. Serve food to the homeless, visit shut-ins in your neighborhood or go read to seniors or children in the hospital. Everyone will benefit from your actions.
5. Find something that makes you happy. Take in a funny movie or visit an upbeat friend. That attitude is just as contagious as sadness.
   
6. Consult a physician. Many times sadness and depression can be treated with medication to help you recover and return to your life. If you're suffering from sadness and depression for unknown reasons or extended periods of time, ask your doctor for help.
   
7. Make a list everyday of things you're grateful for. Make it a rule that you can't repeat anything from one day to the next. By doing this, you train yourself to search for positive aspects of life rather than focusing on the negative things.
