Life consists not only of but white stripes, but also of darker ones. But how to learn to enjoy life, if for a long time everything does not add up? Special talents are not needed here.
Find reasons for joy
The author's grandmother grew up in the post-war years: eerie poverty, soup with quinoa, mom at work for days. Nevertheless, the grandmother recalls childhood as a very happy time: the world around, bright colors, a friendly class, theatrical circle. Indeed, children can enjoy every day and every day they enjoy. Believe me, you also have many reasons for life to rejoice. Just remember them and the question of how to overcome depression and enjoy every day will be easier:
- Just an existence. Sometimes it is enough to understand that you exist, and this is enough to feel happy. You are simply a part of the beautiful world, where there is fresh water, bright sunshine, fire, air and many other pleasures.
- Love. Remember that you have loving parents, beloved children who need you, pets that do not look for flaws in you, but love as they are. Not everyone has such happiness, by the way;
- Travels. And do not say that traveling takes too much money. To go on a marvelous tour of the city, a hike in its surroundings or a trip to the magical places of the region do not need much investment. So do not be a bird in a cage, release the soul and body to freedom!
- Job. From her, too, you can receive pleasure. In addition, this is not a school or a university, which is difficult to change, so there is a chance to find "your" job;
- Nature. What pleases the whole year, regardless of whether it is a bright spring, a harsh winter or a cozy autumn: there are bright colors and delicious smells everywhere, and they need to rejoice!
- Food. No, do not laugh, because it is the same pleasure: different tastes and textures. If there is not enough money for new restaurants, then you can master the cuisine of the peoples of the world at home. It will also reveal your creative potential;
Set yourself new goals.
You will always be happy if you have something to want and you overcome obstacles. Just remember what you dreamed of as a boy or as a child, and try to fulfill your old dreams. Today there are many opportunities for this: there is a ballet for adults, and parachuting courses, after which you can jump with a parachute, and theaters ... If you wish, you can even go into space, but only if there is enough money. So why not make money on a dream? It is possible to set new goals. The most important thing here is belief in yourself. Do not go to the goal over the heads, but do not forget about the dream.
Change your attitude
Don't even think about yourself thinking bad. Well, how can a person enjoy life who considers himself unworthy of happiness? Praise yourself loved for every success, write in the diary the best success for the day and soon you will understand how much you can. So you will definitely believe in yourself and will strive for new victories.
Give happiness to others
Perhaps this is a manifestation of our egoism, and maybe altruism, as it is, but if you can give, you can enjoy life. Still, the positive emotions of the mother or sister, whom you just gave, without a reason, donated perfumes or flowers, cannot help but share the joy of your dog, when you bring her a treat and take a walk, you can’t rejoice with you returned the purse dropped by it recently ... Please others!
Live today

Treat everything humorously
First of all, do not be afraid of your mistakes and are not in constant tension and fear of appearing ridiculous. If you still get into a ridiculous situation, you can just laugh with yourself. If someone else has pierced or got into a ridiculous situation, you should not make fun of him: just support and help the person to find the funny in it himself.
Forgive yourself and others
Just do not be too critical of yourself and loved ones.
