What's the best way to stop fixating on sadness and try to focus on the positive when your mind is clouded by depression?

the best way to stop fixating on sadness and try to focus on the positive is surrounding yourself with positive people that you enjoy being around with.

Hi ! Well to my own experience, I could tell that writing down on the paper some positive things like I will do it and go out when you feel really down, go in beautiful areas and walk can help to make you more positive.

1) Step out of the house. One needs fresh air. 2) Talk to people and let your emotions out. 3) Give yourself a chance to look at things with a different perspective. Everything happens for a reason, it can be good or bad depending on the way you see it. 4) Cry, shout, laugh, tear papers, punch your pillows.. All that helps release the pent up negative emotions. Other ways can include cooking, writing, singing, cycling, boxing. Basically, anything that can help you release/express your emotions.

Close your eyes, breathe in, imagine your most happiest memories, hold that thought for 5 seconds. Breathe out. As you are breathing out take a bit of that happy you with you❤️

The best way to stop fixating on sadness, is at the start of the day, go in front of the mirror and tell yourself few compliments and that you are brave and you can go through this day, and motivate yourself for the day then at the end of the day, encourage yourself by listing your daily achievements, or list few good things about your day. #gratitude

Think of all positive things and people associated with you. Think of how blessed you are to have something that others find it difficult to achieve. Go for a walk, enjoy the company of nature and admire creations of God. you will feel better

Try to recall all the good things that happened in your life and the things that you should be thankful for. You can also write to express what you are currently going through and that could somehow give you a relief.

The best thing to do about this is to find positive coping skills like listening to music,play video games watch your favorite TV show. Also another positive coping skill is to journal write it down in a safe book that only you have access too its good to get your feelings out.

My best tip is getting out and doing things, going out with friends, going to see a film, even just going for a walk or having friends over. Just keeping busy will lead to your mind being focused on other things so you wont have time to think about all the sad things.

Listen to your favorite artis or watch videos that makes you happy it will help and if not go for a long walk and clear your mind
