New Delhi, May 8 (IANS). Today’s fast-paced life is having a negative impact on both physical and mental health. In such a situation, problems like stress, anger over every issue, restlessness, nervousness, disappointment, sadness, despair, fatigue, lack of interest and insomnia or loss of appetite have become common. In such a situation, health experts advise to overcome depression with small positive habits.
According to the National Health Mission, ‘7B’ formula is a group of these habits, which proves to be very effective in fighting depression and improving mental health. These seven easy habits can be included in anyone’s daily routine. Adopting these regularly improves mood, reduces stress and brings positivity in life.
These small changes gradually give big results. However, if mental problems are increasing day by day, then definitely consult a doctor or mental health expert. Adopting these habits along with medicine and therapy can provide quick relief.
Build a Daily Routine: Waking up, eating, working, and sleeping at regular times creates a structured routine. This brings stability in life and reduces symptoms of depression.
Breathe in fresh air: Take a walk outside every morning and evening. Fresh air and natural light improve mood and increase endorphins, the hormone of happiness.
Balance diet with healthy options (Balance diet): Eat nutritious food like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and drink plenty of water. Avoid junk food and excess sugar, as they affect mood.
Be creative in thoughts and actions (Be Creative): Take up painting, writing, music, gardening or a new hobby. Creativity keeps the mind busy and reduces negative thoughts.
Bend and balance the body with yoga: Do yoga asanas daily. Yoga makes the body flexible, reduces stress and keeps the mind calm. This also gives good sleep.
Get at least 8 hours of sleep (bed time): Good sleep is very important for mental health. Sleep early at night and wake up early in the morning. Reduce screen time so that sleep is not affected.
Believe in positive thinking: Think of some good things every day, write gratitude notes or talk to positive people or share your thoughts with them. Challenge negative thoughts and think good and positive about yourself.
