What do you guys do when you’re feeling down on yourself?

Take a long walk with the dog through nature with my music on

Drive. Nothing clears my head like dropping a gear or two, finding a twisty back road to corner carve a bit and listening to the sound of the engine as it scales across the RPM band

Masturbate while playing fifa19 and say to the girl I’m so sorry

Meditate.

Draw, write, play an instrument and make a song, do something creative with that emotion. Use it.

Gym (turn on airplane mode if ure using apps for gym) Listen to some beautiful music Go for a walk talk/hang out with a buddy Acknowledge I'm feeling down - label emotion if possible, say it out loud. This works best for me, and is proven scientifically to work. You'll feel even worse for a maximum hour after doing that, but then you'll notice your mental state changing

I very rarely feel down like I used to but as long as I keep doing whats important to me and Im continually challenging myself I am quite happy.

I just avoid things that I know are going to bring me down, I know you cant avoid some things but if I watch a movie and it doesnt click or I dont like within 30 minutes I just move on

Work out

Clean up. Usually when I’m depressed, my room isn’t made - but when I tidy it I feel better. If not, I clean/organize something else

I never really chase it away. I just allow it and dedicate 40 minutes into being in that fucked up state. After that i just start thinking of all the positive things I’ve done and best moments I’ve ever had which leads to me laughing and slowly transitioning into a better mood. When 1 hour/30 minutes of it is up... I start doing all the things I love doing

I don’t think you can extremely be sad for more than 2 hours, it all really cools down after an intense half an hour. For me at least

Lyft

Accept that you're down. I believe we go through cycles, just like women with their hormones, but ours vary a bit. In my case I'm going up for three weeks, down for two weeks, more or less.

We need those down cycles, just like the heart needs to contract just to be able to expand and beat again, and just like nature needs winter before spring. Maybe down cycles are our way of settling stuff in our bodies/psyches.

When you're down, just accept it and live it out. An error would be to look for an explanation in your life.

In my case in a down cycle I take extra care of myself, eat right, exercise, etc. When I'm up then I let myself go and party / do drugs, etc because when you're up stimulus kinda makes you stronger / more experienced, when you're down everything makes you weaker.

Don_Draper27 · 2019-02-13T23:52:24+00:00

Gym, meditate, and try to get back on my groove. I'm usually either happy or at least content when I'm following a good gym schedule, meditating every day, meal prepping and hitting macros every day, being productive, sleeping 8-9 hours, etc. I hardly ever feel down or negative when I'm on my groove and if I do, it only lasts a few minutes.
