Many people do not suspect the amazingqualities that can completely compensate others for the absence of an external positive. Without wandering into the jungle of occultism and mysticism, we simply denote an important moment for ourselves: there are individuals who communicate with one another to his interlocutor, if not complete reconciliation with the hostile world around him, then at least a sense of temporary truce and the absence of obvious threats.

To argue with them is useless, to recommend it is possible only to people actively fighting for their health. Unfortunately, our melancholics do not belong to this category, and it will be as difficult for them to follow the recommendations below as to rub themselves with the first snow.

Regular sleep, walking, physical activity. It's all great when yourthe psychological state is within the norm. A person easily adjusts his brain to a stable biological cycle, without problems falls asleep and wakes up rested. Why not after that do not run down the street for anything or do 5-10 sit-ups. And if you do not want to not just squat, but also get up?

Proper nutrition. Infinite tale for naive girls,dreaming of "getting on TV". So far, no one has given, and, hopefully, will never give an unambiguous answer to the question: what and how much we should eat.

What will your culinary fantasy create and require your exhausted body, then it will be the right food during the winter depression.

Communication, entertainment. This issue we already discussed in the article New Yearwith neighbors, so we will dwell on the main psychological incident. If a person does not have the proper message, mood, desire to communicate with his own kind, then even the titanic efforts to pull him into such contact will lead to a lamentable result.

Who in the dull autumn evenings need a chronicboring, fixated on their problems. Getting positive signals from the outside world (going to the cinema, theater, philharmonic society, exhibition or presentation of a new book) also requires certain spiritual and physical efforts. Sooner or later all movies and all books will appear on the Internet, why splash themselves on hikes and trips through dangerous streets.

More light, color, music. In this recommendation, psychologists havecertain sermyazhnaya truth. It is necessary to stop saving on electricity, buy yourself a bright exotic fruit, dress up in a colorful Hawaiian shirt and turn on the allowed volume of the disc of your favorite group, as autumn and winter quietly depart from the windows of your apartment. And there and spring is just around the corner.
