10 Tips to Reduce Clinical Depression Right Now

Walk (Or Work) It Out

Sometimes it's tough to speak out the feelings inside. Not just because the feelings are hard to handle - but because words are sometimes inadequate to describe what's in your heart. Going for a walk, or working out, can be a good way to work through depression. Physical exercise gets the heart pumping, and it's possible to work through hard emotions in this way. Also, by being active, the body produces endorphins that automatically give the body a post-workout "high" which can be a good boost to an otherwise difficult day. Even better, do this activity with friends or family. Having their company can be an emotional boost.

Spend Time With Friends (And Loved Ones)

Whether it's time being active, or just hanging out, spending time with friends and loved ones is a good way to combat depression. When dealing with depression, having people who care nearby can be an emotional boost. Go for a walk, to the gym, to a cafe or even just for a stroll around the mall. Being surrounded by the love of a good friend can help overcome feelings of inadequacy and being worthless, useless, or loveless.
