Do you feel that lately you are down ? There is a moment in life when our positive energy seems to disappear and suddenly we see everything in an almost black gray color. In these moments it is important to realize at the moment of what is happening and to put the remedy as soon as possible to overcome this pothole. Otherwise, it is likely that in the end you will end up in a depressed state and, once you enter here, it is very difficult to get out of the wheel. In this article we are going to tell you how to raise your spirits by giving you a series of tips that will help you see life with good eyes.
one
When we have low spirits we tend to stop paying attention to aspects of life that were interesting to us before: we stop going out, relating and taking care of ourselves. However, change always starts in oneself so you have to start doing things, even if you do not want to, to get out of that black hole. One of the first tips that we are going to give you is that if you want to raise your spirits it is that you fix yourself .
It may seem silly but looking in the mirror and seeing an image that you like and feel comfortable with is a good way to feel good about yourself and to be better in the world. It is also recommended that, if you want to overcome some bad stage of your life, you dare with a change of look : cut your hair, go buy new clothes, and so on.

We will also tell you that it is essential that you try to laugh even if you do not feel like it too much. It is a perfect therapy to improve the mood and to overcome depressing and sad moments. We know that if you do not have the spirit in good condition it will be difficult for you to provoke laughter, for that reason, we recommend some of the best ways (and infallible) that will help you get out loud laughter:
- See a humor movie
- Go see a humorous monologue in your city
- Attend a laughter therapy session
- Stay with your old friends and remember old times
You have to "force yourself" to do this type of activity to introduce laughter into your day to day and thus take advantage of the benefits of laughter and overcome sadness.

To raise your spirits it is also vital that you leave the house and sign up to make new plans. Staying locked will further encourage your mood and socially isolate yourself from the people who love you and care about you. Although you do not have much desire to do new activities, we recommend that you force yourself a bit because, although at first it will cost you, as soon as you have been there for a while you will see how you feel better, more content and at ease with yourself.
So even if your body asks you to lie on the couch without doing anything, the best option is to start calling your family to make a plan. If you do not feel like talking, propose an activity such as going to the movies, the theater or a concert. This last alternative is one of the best ways to overcome a bad episode because music and dance get to transmit positive emotions that will generate a pleasant state.

It is also known that physical exercise produces endorphins, hormones that provide happiness and a sense of pleasure. These hormones are what we generate when we eat, for example, or when we make love, therefore, if you want to feel good, it is highly recommended that you go out and exercise. The best thing is that you do it 3 times a week, at least, to disconnect, dedicate some time to yourself and take care of your health.
You do not need to go for a run if you do not like it, you can choose with any type of activity that makes you exercise your body and with which you enjoy, such as going to directed classes (aerobics, zumba, pilates, etc.), Sign up to do some sport or hiking excursions. Find what you like most and start planning your life including this sport.

Stress is one of the main enemies of physical and mental well-being, so if you find yourself in a low energy period, break your routine and spend time resting and relaxing. Make a massage, meditate or spend a few hours a week to read are relaxing activities that will help you to be comfortable with yourself and that will keep you away from the nerves.
If you have a very busy life, make an approach to it and eliminate everything that is dispensable, at least for a while. Dedicate more time to your hobbies, your interests and, above all, to be calm and at peace in your daily life.

And, above all, to be able to raise your spirits you must cultivate a positive attitude in your day to day life. This is something more difficult to control but not impossible. Try to be aware of your thoughts, realize when a negative sensation invades you and try to change it to positive. Above all you must remember that you are the owner of your life and if there is something that you do not finish liking how it is coming out, you can give it a turn and change it or start doing something else.
A decisive attitude is also essential to be positive. And if at some point you see yourself in a situation that you do not know how to get out of, it never hurts to ask for help and advice from your family and friends.
