To help lift a depressed mood, engage in small, manageable activities that foster connection and self-care. Key strategies include spending time in nature, exercising (even a short, brisk walk), socializing with supportive people, listening to uplifting music, or engaging in hobbies that bring a sense of accomplishment.
Actionable Strategies to Improve Mood
- Physical Movement: Engage in 15–30 minutes of daily exercise, such as walking, to boost endorphins.
- Social Connection: Spend time with friends or family, even if you don’t feel like it, to combat isolation.
- Small Goals: Break large tasks into smaller, manageable steps to build momentum.
- Nature and Environment: Spend time outdoors to help change your perspective.
- Creativity and Hobbies: Engage in activities you used to enjoy, such as playing an instrument, reading, or creating art.
- Self-Care: Take a warm bath, practice meditation, or maintain a routine to provide structure.
- Seek Support: Reach out to a therapist, counselor, or helpline for professional guidance.
Things to Avoid
- Isolation: Do not withdraw from life or your support network.
- Alcohol and Drugs: Avoid self-medicating, which can worsen symptoms.
- Dwelling on Negativity: Try to break the cycle of negative thinking.
