10 Tips to Reduce Clinical Depression Right Now

Eat Healthy Meals

When depression happens, many people stop eating healthy foods and eat lots of junk and fast food. It's a damaging lifestyle and one that makes it even harder to overcome depression. The body needs healthy foods, fresh fruits, and vegetables, as well as lean proteins and simple carbs to fuel the body, mind, and spirit. Depression is going to reign so long as food that is filled with salts, fats, and processed sugars keep coursing through the body. Choose to eat a variety of healthy foods. Try a new fruit or vegetable, or switch it up and try preparing a staple in a different way.

Be Thankful For Everything

When dealing with depression it can be difficult, to feelgood about anything. Event the smallest things often seem to be awful. It is hard to see anything is happening that might be beneficial or something to be happy about. That is why keeping a gratitude journal is a great tool to help combat depression. Take a moment every day to write down at least three things you are thankful for. It might be as simple as being thankful for being alive, and a place to live. Or it might be the chirp of the birds on the way to work or a strangers' smile. Being able to see the good part of a rough day can help break the cycle of depression.
