Things To Do When You Feel Discouraged

December 5, 2022

"Discouragement is a normal feeling that everyone experiences from time to time. But, it is important to find healthy ways to cope with these feelings and also take care of yourself."

Are you feeling discouraged? Or maybe you are just in a funk and not sure how to get out of it.


It is common to feel down from time to time, but it is important to know how to deal with these feelings because they can hold you back in life if you let them and they can also lead to depression.


There are times that I have felt so discouraged that I did not want to do anything. I just wanted to stay in bed and watch tv all day. But I knew that if I did that, it would make me feel even worse. So, it is important to find things to do that will help you feel better.


There are things you can do to pick yourself up when you are feeling discouraged. And here are some ideas that I have found helpful:


* Talk to somebody you trust

It can be really helpful to talk to somebody about how you are feeling. This can help you to get some perspective and also realize that you are not alone in how you're feeling. Sometimes just talking to somebody can make you feel better and help you to see things in a different light. Also, try to surround yourself with positive, encouraging people.


* Do something you enjoy

When you are feeling down, it can be hard to motivate yourself to do anything. But, it is important to try and do something that you enjoy because it will make you feel good. Doing something you enjoy can also help to take your mind off of whatever is causing you to feel discouraged. It is also a good idea to try and do something new because it can give you a sense of accomplishment and make you feel more positive.


* Be positive

This may seem like common sense, but it is important to try and be positive when you are feeling down. This means avoiding negative thoughts and instead thinking about things that make you happy. It can be helpful to write down a list of things that make you happy or things you are grateful for. This can help to shift your focus and make you feel better.


* Get some exercise

Exercise is a great way to boost your mood and it can also help to reduce stress. Even if you do not feel like working out, just going for a walk can be helpful. Getting some fresh air can also be beneficial and can help to clear your head. And if you want a challenge, try setting yourself some fitness goals and work towards achieving them.


* Take care of yourself

When you are feeling discouraged, it is important to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. This means eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and taking breaks when you need them. It's also important to find healthy ways to cope with your emotions. This might include journaling, listening to music, or spending time with friends and family.


* Help somebody else

Doing something nice for somebody else can make you feel good and it can also take your mind off of your problems. It feels good to help others and it can remind you that there are people who care about you. And, sometimes when you're feeling down, it can be helpful to see somebody else's situation and realize that it could be worse.


* Have realistic expectations

It is important to have realistic expectations for yourself and your life. This can help to prevent disappointment and discouragement. When you have unrealistic expectations, you're setting yourself up for failure. So, try to be mindful of your expectations and remember that nobody's perfect.


* Be patient

Patience is important when you're dealing with discouragement. This is because it can take time to overcome these feelings and it is important to be gentle with yourself. You might not feel better overnight, but if you give yourself time and patience, things will eventually get better.


Discouragement is a normal feeling that everyone experiences from time to time. But, it is important to find healthy ways to cope with these feelings and also take care of yourself.


By following the tips above, you can start to feel better when you're feeling discouraged.


Just remember to be patient with yourself, take things one day at a time, and be kind to yourself. You will get through this!


And if you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, just remember that you are not alone. We all feel like that sometimes. But, we all have the strength to overcome it!
