1. Accept and recognize emotions: Allow yourself to feel this state of unhappiness and low mood, without suppressing or avoiding it. Realizing that everyone has such moments is a normal emotional fluctuation.
2. Engage in emotional regulation activities: Deep breathing: Try taking a few deep breaths, counting to four each time you inhale, then holding your breath until four, and slowly exhaling until four. This helps to relax the body and reduce tension. Exercise: If conditions permit, go for a walk, run, or do some simple stretching exercises. Exercise can release endorphins and improve mood. Listening to music/meditation: Choose your favorite music to relax, or try meditating for a few minutes, focusing on breathing and clearing distractions.
3. Seek support or shift attention: Communicate with friends: Call or meet trusted friends, share your feelings, and sometimes confide to ease the burden. Do what you enjoy: Engage in an activity you love, such as reading, drawing, watching movies, etc., to shift your attention away from negative emotions. Set small goals: Set yourself a simple and achievable small goal, and strive to achieve it. The sense of success can boost confidence and mood.
