Anxiety and depression are affecting millions of people around the world. These conditions can really get us stuck in a rut. How to completely solve these problems can be complex, but sometimes a little boost can help us make another step in the right direction.
One problem with anxiety and depression is that it seems to dull the senses. This leaves us feeling isolated from our environments. Reconnect with your world by becoming more fully mindful of your experiences.
Try these simple and quick ways to pick up your spirits and get you going when you can't get your motor running:
1. Stimulate your sense of TEMPERATURE.
Make yourself more aware of how your skin feels when exposed to different temperatures.
* Splash some cold water on your face, hands, or feet.
* Take a cool shower or bath.
* Put a warm towel on your face.
* Run warm water on your hands.
* Soak your feet in warm water.
* Take a warm shower or bath.
2. Stimulate your sense of TASTE.
Slow the eating process down so that you can be more aware of the sensation of tasting food.
* Choose a food you love to taste. Put it in your mouth and eat it as slowly as you possibly can.
* Try this with foods that are more shocking, such as foods that are very sour, bitter, or spicy.
3. Stimulate your sense of SMELL.
Choose aromas that remind you of happy moments and surround yourself with them. Examples:
* Slice lemons and slowly breathe in the scent. Add them to your glass of water.
* Use lavender scented lotions and sachets.
* Peel an orange and squeeze the oil from the peel onto your hands and breathe it in.
* Add cinnamon to boiling water and breathe in the aroma in the room.
4. Stimulate your sense of HEARING.
Choose sounds that activate positive feelings and memories. Play recordings of:
* Your favorite music
* Birds singing
* Children playing
* Ocean waves
5. Stimulate your sense of SIGHT.
Find things to gaze at that promote a positive mood.
* Look at your favorite pictures.
* Watch videos that are heartwarming.
* Take a nature walk.
* Look up travel photos and videos.
6. Stimulate your sense of TOUCH.
Rub your fingers and hands across a variety of surfaces with different textures, such as:
* Furry teddy bears
* Bumpy pineapples
* Smooth pillows
* Sticky honey
