Hey readers,
I suffer from depression and sometimes it can be easy to get stuck in feeding into the negative thoughts. What I sometimes find helpful is to stop and do something productive.
So I have written a list of helpful things (also I go to when complete forget everything).
1. Read a newspaper.
2. Colour in.
3. Meditation.
4. Go for coffee.
5. Practice handwriting.
6. Go to the shop and buy a magazine.
7. Read a book.
8. Clean (wash up, hoover, put clothes away etc).
9. Shower.
10. Take a walk.
11. Doodle.
12. Mind map - blog ideas etc.
13. A hot cup of tea.
14. Wear a chunky jumper.
15. Cook a recipe.
16. Brush hair/plait hair.
17. Watch mindful videos.
18. Watch something funny.
19. Write some poetry.
20. Play with clay - get creative.
21. Take some photos.
22. Paint nails.
23. Sing a song.
24. Dance your heart out.
25. Walkthrough woodlands.
26. Watch the sun setting.
28. Stroke a furry animal.
30. Light a candle.
31. Watch clouds.
32. Deep breathing.
33. Squeeze a stress ball.
34. Write down three positive things in your life.
