1) Forgive Yourself --
For everything; forgive others. Forgive what you most feel ashamed about, Forgive those little things that hold a weight on you, forgive the big things that you never think about . All of it . Everything you are upset over, and forgive things that haven't even been done yet.
Things like resentment, and unforgiveness are an exrememly dense and heavy energy to harbour and They can actually weaken the immune system. When we harbour negative emotions our bodies become more suseptible to tension, which eventually builds up around our muscles and can continue to add damage slowly over time. When we're upset and worrying or holding anger about something, in actuality we are doing nothing to resolve or change it, we are only adding to the mind-fuck of guilt. Things left unforgiven,, or undealt with on an emotional level- lead to guilt. Which is an unnecessary and counter- productive thing to harbour. If you truly want to move on and be happy, you've got to practice the art of Forgiveness. Just as the saying goes
"Holding resentment is just like drinking poison, waiting for the other person to feel its effects."
and certainly if the resentment it towards yourself, its a double edged sword... its time to let it go. You should be your biggest ally and your biggest fan. Its tough enough facing society sometimes, and when theres inner turmoil going on, that makes life even harder. Your mind should be a safe haven.
Allow it to be.
2) Make the Effort-
Its one thing to seek something out- like improving your mood, or life even, but its another to motivate yourself to do it. Feeling depressed or low , can be hard to get out of. That heavy feeling that can be held in ones body is enough to make anyone want to just give in and accept it as life. Dont! The longer you stay in that state, the longer you will have to be diligent in getting out of it. It can become a cozy spot, that feels like home . When really, its a comfort zone where nothing grows and happiness fades.
There is a strong sense of Vulnerability that comes with leaving the rut, so you'll really need to PUSH yourself when trying to leave the rut ( if you're struggling to.)
Focus on Tasks that will improve life for you. Hobbies that brighten your mood, People that fill your heart! Yes, Socializing is a great way to snap out of it. Time spent in Isolation can do alot of negative damage to the psyche , if its not used in a constructive manner.
Its not going to happen overnight, but if you track the progress you make then you will see that there is always progress being made . Be patient, Child.. sadness is not the end of the world.
Theres plenty to be sad about, with all the horrible shit that goes on, but if you choose to focus on that, then thats all you will see. If you sit aroud worrying about things you have absolutely no Control over, then you're not doing anything to benefit anyone...Be Solution Oriented. Start with, What can I Do to help me.
If you have to get to know yourself all over again, you better get to work! Sadness, depression, anxiety, doom- These are all natural things to feel, they are SUPPOSE to be a part of life for us all Feel them, undestand them, then MOVE ON.
You Deserve to feel good, the real question is, how do You want to feel?
Its So okay to feel down sometimes, But do not accept this as life.
There is so much goodness, Seek this.

3) Focus On your Health-
Well, why not ? We are tangible creatures heavy and Light in our bodies and its optimal that we take care of them in the best sense! Theres no sense in holding distaste towards your body, its yours to keep. Get past the flaws if you must, but you are beautiful and DESERVE to feel good.
Taking A nurturing approach to eating is a great way to help elevate your frame of mind, you energy levels, your moods, everything !
What food makes you feel good ?
Pay attention to how you feel before and after you eat something.
If you feel like shit, after every meal- then youre doing it wrong, lover ! Theres a Difference between feeling full from fulfillment, and feeling stuffed to misery. Pay attention to your body signals, it has an accurate system all its own- It can heal itself, or become its own worst enemy. If you are Constantly challenging its system, or ignoring it (even in the slighest) its going to retaliate in its own way , and you'll end up feeling like crap. So not ideal.
More Veggies- Less preservatives
Mood boosting foods
Maybe throw some fitness focus into it . Im not saying go and get a gym membership ( I mean really, who has time for that)
Just find some way to bring fitness focus to your body, every single day. This could mean going for a walk around the neighborhood, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking a little farther from the building youre going in to, doing floor stretches in the morning and evening, enrolling in that pilates class youre dying to try ;] or simply breathing deeper and more meaningfully. Exercise has been proven to boost emotions and get the blood flowing in a great way!
Exercise does the body good ! Click me !
4)Avoid Being Lethargic-
This ties in together with the last point; Stop lazing around so much! Its perfectly fine to be lazy and relax, but monitor this activity with your Physical Activity. If you find yourself lazing about, or sitting around most of the time, then your body will be more prone to depression and illness. We are Capable of heavy activities for a reason (unless serious health issues dictate otherwise) and we should respect this by giving our bodies the activity that it needs. Think about the physical exertions our ancestors went through, im sure if they saw the laziness we evoke now, we would all get a bit of scolding !
Click me ! Dont be lazy, lovers ;]
5) Know theres a season for everything-
Its not always going to be sunshine and pots of Gold. Its perfectly and natural for you to allow yourself to feel the lows and highs of life . Emotions are a very important part of our human experience, so denying them is to deny yourself the experience of life.
It can hurt like hell sometimes, but that no reason to accept that every moment will be painful.
Cherish every moment, even the terrible things, Life will always teach us if we allow it. Alot of the time, we are learnin the most valuable lessons of self from how we choose to face our difficulties. Allow yourself to feel, then let go.
Life is not meant to be spent in shame, sadness, regret- or any emotions like that all the time. Its meant to be felt on a way deeper and more amazingly intimate level!
Get over yourself, if you must and start to live your life FULLY.
This is your life.
Even the raw, terribly frightening things that make us feel uneasy,are there to help us along the way.
This is YOUR Life. Cherish it, Observe it, Live it.
Charge up your life force and awaken all that you are, with respects to the Seasons of life.
For the only constant is change <3
Love to every single one of your Molecules,,
E.B
