I've found that doing something I love and devoting everything I have into it can be if not relaxing, give me something to care about. If my entirety is focused on something I truly love (for me it's music), I can escape from the world for a bit and simply immerse myself in the experience. Doing that lets me let go of stress, anxiety, or simply not feel them for the moment, and it can be difference between struggling to cope and finding a moment of calm outside of the insanity that life can be.

I think music is good. Volunteering of going out of your way to treat a stranger to a meal or even exercise.

Talking it out or just watching YouTube really help. Sometimes you just need a moment to yourself with some music to sort your thoughts out.

I feel like when I want to get my mind off things but still have something to do think of your interests. I like to color and draw while I listen to music or watch some Netflix sometimes. I believe that we all have a passion for something you just have to find it.

I have several things that I do when I feel low. I practice things such as self care. Self care is basically doing things that make you feel good about yourself. It is individual to the person. It can be something as simple as watching a comedy or it can be a trip to the hair salon. Whatever it is, it is what you need to do in order to feel good about yourself. :)

When you're feeling low and can’t cope always turn to something or someone that will make you happy. it mightn’t always be a person such as family or a significant other. It could be a pet, a posession, a hobbie or sport for example. The worst thing you could do is stress about things. If i'm feeling low i usually listen to music, sometimes even sad music can make me feel better, although others may disagree and like to listen to happier music. In my opinion whatever takes your mind off whatever is making you feel low will help you cope better :) ❤️

I listen to some good happy music, I look through my photograph box (a box full o photos of my happy days in the past). Talk to people who care and will help cheer me up. I will also try to make a self-reflection paper or list, and try to figure out why I feel low, and eliminate the issue. I will also occasionally, talk to my older brother, because we have dysfunctional family, and we just tend to get depressed about it, we just kind of sit think about the fun times we do have with each other, and other siblings, or even with our parents.

Usually when I feel low, I choose one of the following activities:- 1. Journal writing - helps me reflect and understand my feelings. 2. Indulge in self-care activities 3. Exercise or physical activity 4. Eat my favorite dishes! These work most of the time. If nothing helps I choose to let the lowness settle and reach to its peak by laying down on my bed and by taking a break from external affairs. I take a good sleep and that motivates me for the next day to start over again! I hope this helps and motivates you to work on it too. If it still feels overbearing you always have a listener for you on 7 Cups!!
