It seems that as soon as Shufutinsky dies down his “calendar will turn over, and again on September 3,” the tumbler turns inside us: to rejoice is a sin, it's time to be sad and mourn the summer that has left us untimely. There is even statistics: in the first two weeks of September, 108 people turned to the Moscow psychological aid service with the problem of bad mood. And how many are sad at home, cursing the rains, lack of sun and heat. And we want to break the system, and with the help of psychologists Anna Simbireva and Svetlana Arsenyeva, we have prepared seven tips that will help you avoid the autumn blues.
Plan
Start planning your next vacation. A person needs some kind of goal, anticipation. Waiting for a bright adventure is the best cure for the blues!
Find an interesting hobby
It's time to sign up for group classes, pair dances, yoga classes, various workshops, and an acting class. Go where light, people, and exercise are the main source of endorphins.
Move more
Ride a bike, walk, collect an autumn herbarium. Scientists claim that any activity again contributes to the production of the hormone endorphin, which improves mood.
Read
Now is the time for cozy reading. For example, a cheerful, humorous romance can be a cure for blues.
Drink tea
Refill your home with new flavors, drink herbal tea. For example, bergamot helps to restore human energy, lavender helps to restore internal strength, lemon encourages activity, relieves drowsiness.
Refresh your wardrobe
Buy new clothes, experiment with colors. Purple compensates for fatigue, red helps to increase energy levels, and yellow improves mood.
Eat tasty and varied
More delicious foods and antidepressant foods. Among them are turkey, bananas, whole grain bread, dairy products, spinach, dried apricots, chocolate, cocoa. Do not forget to drink enough liquid: an organism suffering from a lack of moisture cannot be in good shape. According to the observations of nutritionists, depression can also be triggered by tasteless and monotonous food.
