Following a concept like this gives a feeling of control, as opposed to approaching someone without knowing what I am doing,
being totally exposed (I guess, actually vulnerable).[*] If I am dating someone I really like, I may look for confirmation that it's too good to be true, they don't really like me and push them away, to my great frustration/sadness right after.[/LIST] |
This is how I feel when I am going through a period of depression.
Good habits, joyful experiences and people that care help me come out of my depression, when I feel good about myself and have noticed people enjoy my company a lot more. Happiness is attractive.
My good habits are: Exercise, sunshine, favorite foods like coffee/chocolate, eating healthy (if I overeat then compensate by skipping a meal or eating lighter the next day), a hot bath everyday, have goals and accomplish something that furthers your goals everyday, take time everyday to plan and reflect, get up early and go to bed early, be grateful for things everyday--the first thing in the morning--I am so grateful for my coffee, shelter and all the conveniences I have (mankind has not had washing machines, computers, AC, etc. that long!!), hug a lot, smile a lot!!!!
