Depression has a destructive power on people's minds, and more seriously, it will rob you of energy, attention, and deprive you of all your yearning for happiness and happiness. Depressed people don't feel happy no matter what they do, and eventually lose the will to continue living. There are many causes of depression, including both psychological and physical factors, and the 5 habits introduced in this article are lifestyle habits that can easily lead to depression: cherish life and stay away from bad habits.
1. Lack of exercise
This may surprise you, but exercise does have a big impact on people's physical and mental health.
Staying in the house for a long time can make people lazy and eat too much food. Slacking off and being overweight can easily put you into a state of depression, which not only reduces the frequency with which the body moves but also reduces the number of times a person reflects on themselves.
In addition, an unhappy person tends to put exercise at the least important position and just wants to sit quietly on the side and not move around.
So, when you are in a depressed state, don't forget to exercise at the right time, it will bring a big improvement to your body and spirit, and lying in bed and hiding in the sofa is very bad for you.
Our brain secretes chemicals that make you mentally sound, like serotonin and dopamine. Exercising for 40 minutes a day can promote the brain to produce more such substances, so that you can always stay energetic and mentally high.
2. Improper diet
A healthy diet is not only good for the body, but also great for the spirit.
The omega-3 fats contained in food are called brain nutrients because they play an important role in brain health. Our body can not produce these fats, can only be ingested through food, when you eat food contains not enough omega-3 fats, it is easy to cause depression.
Foods rich in omega-3 fats include seafood, game and cold-water fish. In addition to dietary supplements, there are many nutritional supplements for omega-3 fats on the market. All in all, maintaining a healthy brain plays an important role in restraining depression, and eating a healthy brain is the only way to be healthy.
3. Poor sleep quality and stress
If you're constantly compressing your sleep time, you're preparing a hotbed for depression to grow.
We all know that the best time to sleep is seven to eight hours, and you should maintain good sleep habits. Reading in bed, playing on the computer, and staying up late are all activities to drive away sleepy bugs. And if you don't rest enough, it's easy to get excited and become paranoid.
People who sleep enough have clear, well-organized brains, and analyze things sharply. And people who don't get enough sleep are usually unable to work well, are not efficient, and cause a lot of stress to themselves. The more stressed people are, the more they can't sleep, creating a vicious circle.
Lack of sleep and poor work add up to frustration and feel trapped in a strange circle. If they start to feel like they can't control things in their lives, they can eventually lead to mental respite. Most people don't understand that only sleeping enough can really stop the onset of depression.
4. Isolation
Isolating yourself has been defined as a habit that leads to depression.
No matter what reason you are estranged from your family and friends, you are pushing yourself into the depression group step by step. Whether physically or psychologically, isolation is a person's greatest punishment for himself. Researchers say a person with a strong social network, a well-connected person, is less likely to suffer from depression.
Being close to family and friends and interacting frequently allows your brain to secrete beneficial substances and reduce the stress you are under. No matter what situation you are in, you need to keep in touch and communicate with others. Isolating yourself means that you don't share your difficulties and problems with others, and slowly accumulate into diseases. As human beings, social communication is a natural nature. Without contact with the outside world, our minds become fragile until they collapse, and we cannot cope with the pressures of life.
5. Contemplation
Negative thinking is one of the main causes of depression.
When you suffer from negative things every day, you are creating a negative cage for yourself. Constantly thinking about potential threats, rejections, losses, failures, etc. will make you see failure more clearly.
There are some things in this world that we are doomed to be uncontrollable and unable to change, so we don't hesitate to think about it. Always thinking about something I can't get back can not only be frustrating, it can drive you crazy. With the development of modern society, people live under more and more pressure, and careful thinking becomes the main cause of depression.
Write at the end:
People need to find ways to stifle their wild thoughts in their heads.
You can choose to turn your attention to something more positive instead of obsessing over bad things that you can't change. You can also spend more time with close friends, listen to other people's stories, see jokes, etc., can make you more at ease.
If that's not enough, then you can write down the things that upset you on a piece of paper and throw it away or tear it up. This approach is based on the theoretical basis of semiotic behavior. This action indicates that you have solved the problem and are ready to move on.
If you feel that you can't get rid of this passive thinking on your own, it is also a very good way to seek the support of professional psychological counselors.
