An instant mood uplifter…and the reason for my writing this article. I have been feeling sad since morning and I knew the best way to ward off these negative emotions is to head to some creative pursuits. So, I ended up sharing with you some things that I practice myself. When you are a creative person and somehow aren’t able to follow your pursuits, you feel suffocated and sad.

Leave aside everything else and just follow your passion, be it writing, painting, dancing, singing or the likes…just follow what your heart tells you. Even a little time spent doing what you really wish to do will give you all the happiness in the world.

TALK TO A FRIEND

There are times when all that we need is a person who will listen to all that we have to say without judging us. Most of the times that someone is a good friend who knows us inside out. Make sure to give up all feelings of self doubt and just give a call to that friend of yours and vent out all that you have to. Having someone who can help us in understanding our own self is a blessing. So, don’t feel depressed for too long, just call the person who is your confident.
