There are times in life when things don’t go as expected. Perhaps an important project of yours ended up in failure. Or you got laid off from your job. Whatever it is, it might make you depressed. But you need to get things back under control. You need to keep moving forward. 【1】 . In this way, you can face the situation with a positive attitude. How to Feel Better？Here are some tips to make yourself feel better when you’re depressed:

1. Calm down

Before anything else, calm yourself down. Don’t panic. 【2】 . You can only apply the tips below if you are calm.

2. 【3】

When you’re depressed, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of negative thoughts, which makes things look worse than they actually are. It’s important that you break this cycle so that you don’t become a victim of your own thoughts. You may read spiritual texts, motivational books, or inspiring quotes. You may also listen to positive tapes.

3. Remember good things

Our minds tend to focus on the negative and not the positive. 【4】 . Remember the good things in your life. Remember the good people around you.

4. Forgive

Sometimes one reason you feel bad is because you don’t forgive. Perhaps you had made mistakes in the past and you blamed yourself for it. You need to forgive yourself. Or perhaps someone mistreated you. 【5】 . I know it’s easier said than done, but as Mahatma Gandhi said: The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness /span>is the attribute of the strong.
