How to tackle and defeat depression

Published

Nowadays, Depression is a new normal for youngsters. It is increasing day by day and spreading like a pandemic. In our family or society, we see people going through a phase of depression, but a mild one. And that’s why we don’t bother much about it. Most of us don’t know the exact meaning of depression. So, we can’t express to anyone or identify who is in depression. So, first of all, we should know the meaning and then how to tackle and defeat depression.

Depression can be classified as a mood disorder that changes according to time and event. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness, or anger. We should know that not every sadness or loneliness or feeling of anger is a depression, it may be due to some other issues. Depression is caused due to hormonal imbalances. Serotonin causes an imbalance in our body and when the Serotonin hormone level decreases then depression occurs. To avoid depression best way is to adopt spiritual life.

As human beings, we have the power to avoid this but sadly the majority of the population doesn’t know how to tackle and defeat depression, but there are many ways to do it. So, to tackle and defeat depression, we need to follow few things in our life that we even might have heard before.

  • Healthy food
  • Have a goal set in life
  • Get proper sleep
  • Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and Social media
  • Have good friends
  • Accept the failure
  • Travel to new places
  • Listen to good music

You must have heard that friendship is a mood elevator but actually, it’s not. It’s not like you shouldn’t have friends, having friends is just a way to surmount depression at a particular time or it may help you in tackling depression for few hours. But at the end of the day, you will feel lonely because of the thoughts and stress that you are going through. To avoid depression, you should try the things mentioned above. If you have good friends, you are less prone to depression but still, you are not totally free from it.

Social media is another major cause of depression. Avoiding social media is the best way to tackle depression. Again, I am not telling you to leave social media completely, but to use it wisely. Social Media helps you to know what’s going around on this planet. It helps you to connect with anyone in the world but excessive use is harmful, so you should use it on purpose.

Travelling is also one the most effective ways to avoid depression and listening to good music while travelling is a bonus.

But to avoid depression permanently you should learn to meditate and do regular exercise or yoga. Because a permanent solution is always better than a temporary one.

And at last. If you have ever failed in something, you should always try to accept your failure and try to learn something from it.

Importance of Yoga, especially for office workers

Let us begin with a brief explanation of what Yoga is and then we’ll discuss the benefits and importance of Yoga for office workers. Yoga is a mind and body practice, it is a very efficient kind of exercise at its most basic level. It entails stretching the body into static positions and holding them, which is an excellent way to improve blood flow and circulation via the body’s different choke spots.

Yoga and work employees aren’t often associated, but they should be. Working in an office generally entails workers spending a lot of time crouched over a keyboard and seated on a chair. It might also be a situation where there is a lot of tension and few ways to relieve it. In this post, we’ll look at why these things are detrimental to your health in general and how Yoga may assist.

Yoga additionally emphasises proper breathing patterns, which help your body to obtain the greatest benefit from each breath of air we take. Expanding on this, we take care to clear our minds when practising Yoga, and the farther one progresses in the discipline, the more focused and peaceful they will become. Have you ever advised someone to take a deep breath to help them relax? It’s the same idea with Yoga.

But, how does all of this benefit our office employees? In most cases, a workplace setting is neither relaxing nor conducive to good health. Most office workers will spend most of their day seated and gazing at a computer screen, slumped over papers, or typing. A lot of stress builds up in the back and shoulders as a result of this. Long periods of sitting deprive the legs of a source of new blood.

In an office setting, yoga challenges the body to move in ways it would not normally do. This can be a highly efficient method of removing choke spots and restoring normal circulation. The blood transports vital quantities of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and the organs cannot function effectively without them. The more our organs are starved, the worse we get, therefore increasing blood flow to those places that are lacking it is clearly a top health concern.

Exactly do you know that stress causes or exacerbates the majority of diseases? This is real, and it’s a far bigger issue than most people realise. This is much more true in the workplace. Deadlines, continual activity, and the desire to always be on the go are all major contributors to rising stress levels.

Consider pausing for a moment. Forget about all of the things you need to accomplish in the next week. Forget about your rent and the assignment you need to do. Put your boss and family aside and focus only on one thing. Breathing. Yoga is a mental as well as a physical discipline that teaches you to clear your mind and concentrate on the task at hand. While the physical advantages of Yoga are undeniable, the emotional benefits may be genuinely life-changing. People who practise Yoga are better at dealing with stress and can relax and centre themselves when there is chaos all around them.

When you feel that these advantages will make your life simpler, you have it about yourself to begin studying Yoga right away.

Sorry or ego!

Sorry or ego

Nowadays, Sorry or Ego is a new trend of this generation.  Most of us get confused about whether to say sorry or to show ego. Actually sorry and ego are the same, but sorry shows that you want to maintain a relationship whereas, the ego says you don’t. According to some philosophers, sorry and ego are in the same category of egoistic nature. Both are beautiful words.

To decide when to say sorry or show ego is one of the main issues of our generation. There are many psychological thoughts that we should consider before saying anything. When we were kids, we used to say sorry whenever we did something wrong. But now when we have become adults and especially are in the age group of 15-21years, we usually become more aggressive because of increased testosterone hormone levels. This increases our egoistic nature. There are many reasons like stress, not getting proper sleep, not having sex, family issue,s and overthinking which leads to an increase of ego in our nature.

Sometimes when you say sorry, you can maintain a relation, you can earn respect, and actually, you can get anything. You will not become disrespectful or your value will not become less in society just by saying sorry. Some people think that a person who does not say sorry can never be their friends or partner. But do you think that you can become a better version of your soul just by saying sorry? Is saying sorry everything? Are you giving 100% in your education or work? If not then how can you judge anyone by them saying sorry or not? Because saying sorry isn’t everything, but being is. A person who doesn’t say sorry but means it by heart definitely has a better soul.

We must understand that sorry is just a word but ego is a nature. If you got confused, understand sorry as a positive form of ego, and not being sorry even after making mistakes is a negative form of ego. According to the Bhagwad Geeta, we should forgive a person they understand their mistake and be sorry, but now if they make the same mistake again and again.

Now the question is, How to stay positive in every situation? So to be positive, one should be mentally prepared for this. There are a lot of ways that either make you positive or at least drag you out from the negativity zone. Here we are mentioning some of those crucial ways to make you a positive minded person:

  • Healthy Food

You must be surprised but it’s true. The type of food that we eat affects our lives both scientifically(mentally, physically), and spiritually. But here we will about the scientific effects of healthy food. Our Brain requires omega-3-fatty acids, flavonoids, vitamins, etc in order to stay healthy. Food like berries and dark chocolate contains flavonoids and cocoa respectively, which are antioxidants and helps to reduce inflammation and stress. Nuts and whole-grain foods like barley, brown rice, and the bread also help in calming our brain. So if our brain is calm and working properly, we can focus on positive thoughts easily.

  • Exercise, Yoga, and Meditation

In a world where we hear more traffic sounds and noise than our own voice. Doing yoga, and meditation helps a lot in being positive by relieving our brain from unwanted stress and chaos. Whereas, exercise relaxes our muscles and also improves blood flow in our body so the brain could easily get the proper oxygen supply. This leads to a healthy and active brain for positive thinking.

  • Staying with positive people

By staying and talking with positive-minded people, you’ll get to know many new things in life that will nourish the positive aspect of your life. Surrounding yourself with positive people will help you grow as an individual.

  • Changing our perspective

As human beings we observe things. But we have the tendency of looking at everything from our own perspective and most of the time, we initially make a negative perspective. But you need to understand the process of observation, this way you can see things positively. Just by doing this, you’ll see the world very differently. Because someone has said that, “Your eyes will see what you have in your brain, and your brain will see what you want to see”. 

That’s not it, the following things will also help you to think and be positive:

  • Reading Books and Novels

  • Listening to podcasts

  • Watching Motivational Videos

  • Having a helping attitude

As we all know, “We need to be the change we want to see in the world”. So if we want this world to be a good place, we need to the that good. And we can do so by having an attitude to think and be positive. Because some Yogis have said that, “Your thought process decides your future”.
