For depressing times
We all have been through the depression alley. Some of us made it through while some of us are still struggling to switch lanes and head on to the good side of town. One thing we can all agree on is that going through the depression alley is about the hardest thing ever especially when you don't get the support or love you need.
So today, I'm sharing life hacks for depressing times.
Slow down: The world seems so fast-paced now and there is this rush and pressure everywhere. The pressure to make money is the biggest problem most people have now but it's also good to slow down and take a breather once in a while because if you go crazy before making the money, it won't make sense. So pause, take a deep breath. Double your hustle. Double your grind but don't forget that not everyone will make mad money. Slowing down also gives you time to evaluate how well you're doing and to know if you have to restrategize.
Drain all sorts of toxic energy around you. When Tiwa Savage left her husband, it was a bit messy and all that. But today, she's alive and doing amazingly well for herself and her child. This tells you that there's more to “bad energy stay far away” than putting it up on your WhatsApp status. Most times, we're hurt by the ones closest to us and we can never really bring ourselves to lock them out entirely. We even end up making excuses for their toxicity. That has to stop.

Stop pinning about what people would say and do whatever makes you happy!
Practice pep talks. I'm not talking about the regular and often boring motivational talks. I hate motivational talks and I try to avoid giving one. I encourage people to have conversations with themselves. Instead of bottling up all that anger and sadness, you can write down how you feel and do whatever you please with it. There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself when you feel low. It's better than sharing your problems with people that would carry your matter around town.
Fight to stay alive. At the end of the day, life isn't rosy and we are all trying to keep our heads above water. Suicide looks like a good way to end all the pain but wouldn't you want to wait it out? Wouldn't you want to see how things eventually turn out? I know I'd love to and that's why I've not taken the easy way out. If it gets too hard, take time away from people. Go someplace, take your time, clear your head, and talk to yourself, listen to good music. Nothing depressing. Don't do drugs because it would only increase your problems.
Don’t allow bad times to make you forget that YOLO!
