I woke up a few days ago looking through my goals and plans for the year, how far I still have to cover, and how I felt I have been unable to achieve anything, I felt as though a hole was created in my heart and I was moved to tears, I instantly called my sister who spoke words to m that made me feel better, she is the only one we all speak to whenever we need someone to talk to and sometimes, I wonder who she has to call because she just acts so strong.
Life can be tough on us sometimes, but we consistently need to look for ways to come out of whatever depressing feeling we may have, steps should be taken to cope and navigate through depression, and the little changes that are made to a daily routine, lifestyle habits, and diets could go a long way to positively affect you. Depression can drain out all your energy, leaving you feeling fatigued and empty, but lifestyle changes here and there could turn you into a happy soul again.

Take an innocent walk: On some days when you just want to stay in bed all through the day, exercise could be the last agenda on your mind, but physical activities and exercises would help reduce the symptoms of stress and depression you feel, and it will help you improve energy levels. Exercise can be just as helpful as medication can be, it doesn't have to be intense, but setting little goals to take a quick walk while you enjoy the cool breeze of nature will help you stay calm and relaxed.
Bear in mind that you can try again tomorrow: Probably you are sad, and depressed because you were unable to keep up with some of the goals you had written down today, have it in mind that you have the ability to try again the following morning, once there is life there is hope and with the will to live, you have the strength to pull through again.
Try to appreciate the good moments: It is only expected that you will continue to feel sad if the only thing you do is look at the downsides and the negative situations of life. You must be able to appreciate the good things that happen as well, regardless of how minute it is, live for the moment, love the moment, and savor the goodness that comes with the moment.
Handling the subject of depression is delicate. You give very good recommendations. I wish you happiness and peace.
I have been there and fought this demon many times.
