Do you struggle to come out of somber and sad moods? As difficult as it may be, it is absolutely essential to try and swing back in the normal and happy routine. In the last few of my posts I am sure my state of mind reflected clearly and as I started to write this post, I thought about a comment left by Mayank of ReviewSaurus on my post on getting rid of the writer’s block, in which he said "I think that [writer’s block] mainly comes because of things going around in our lives. If you’ll stay happy, you won’t get the writer’s block frequently but if you are sad or have something else going in your mind then you’ll get writer’s block as often as snow storm in Antarctica!" I find that observation was absolutely true in my case.
Some of my thoughts as I try to get out of the sadness_
- Laugh out loud
- Keep a journal and write your feelings down
- Plan out a day trip and change of scenery will help
- Exercise to keep thinking clear
- Stay optimistic through tough times
- Stick to normal routines and activities
- Don’t feel guilty about having a good time
- Appreciate all the good things in life
- ……………….Anything you might like to add?…………

Funny that, Pearl. I was thinking along those lines today and yes, from a clinical standpoint you are absolutely spot on, Chick o let. Any inclusion I can see is for one to make it a point to have more physical exercise in order to boost one’s inherent feel good hormones, i.e., dopamine levels. Raising one’s cardio levels insures greater oxygen intake and output to the brain providing the person has the physical capacity to do so. It’s amazing how our body functions if we keep things simple, realize that all problems have solutions, and that the power to make ch ch changes are within us, yet, many enjoy the rewards of being drama kings and queens. ~:o) From a clinical standpoint, whenever I’m writing out a treatment plan for the first time on a client, all of the goals include what you have just previously mentioned although professionally speaking, mine are written in greater depth including a client’s medical history.
