There are plenty of things to do to make yourself feel better both physically and mentally. Feeling low and unhappy can be a sign of not taking proper care of yourself. If that’s the case, these tips will surely make you feel better.

Be unapologetically you

Forget about trying to please others, it’s time to learn how not to care what others think of you. Not everyone will like you but that’s OK, that’s just how things are. Constantly stressing about what others might think of you will completely drain you.

Be nicer to others

A compliment, a smile or simply being nice to someone has the power to transform lives: making another person happy will make you feel better. And remember, being unkind will only make you feel worse so take every chance to brighten someone’s day.

Move your body 

Yes, I know, everyone and their mother is telling you how important exercise is but that’s because it’s actually true. Exercising not only makes you feel better about your body, it’s also great for your mental health. It’s one of the best ways to destress and achieving a fitness goal will definitely make you feel better about yourself.

Take a nap

You would never, ever, under any circumstances take a nap even if you have nothing else to do? Stop doing that. Your body needs to rest and if it’s telling you to relax, then relax.

Try to be a bit more optimistic

Try to be more intentional when it comes to seeing the bright side of life: focus on all the good things you have going on. From now on, the glass is always half full.

Keep your head in the game

Never let yourself feel aimless - people need a purpose to push through in life. Your goals make you work harder and do better. Take every opportunity to learn something new and keep on improving.
