Overcoming Grief: Four Tips That Help In Everyday Life

These are days we do not have strength; we have no motivation to face the day. These are times when sadness grips us and drowns us in weakness. Do not let that happen. In our blog today we will give you 4 tips that can help you overcome grief.

1. I accept discouragement… But I force myself to move on

It’s okay to accept discouragement or sadness. To accept discouragement to overcome it. This is a simple rule of thumb worth the effort, to understand and apply it in our daily lives. Psychologists and psychiatrists tell us that the time of day when sadness or despair usually overtakes us is in the morning.

These are the moments when we feel powerless and without motivation to get out of bed. We must be careful not to get caught up in this feeling. Here are some basic phases.

• When you open your eyes and wake up, you remember something that hurt you or made you lose heart.
• This “morning fall” takes away your strength to get you out of bed with the necessary energy.
• What you should do when you see this “wall” in your mind is to first acknowledge that it is not good. We know it’s a problem. When something makes you sad, it takes away your strength. Are you going to overcome it by staying in bed? Not at all.
• You have to realize that the last thing you should do is get caught up in these negative thoughts. You can overcome grief little by little, and with small daily achievements: get out of bed and dress in a way that makes you look beautiful when you look in the mirror. Realize that you are worth much more than this sadness, and that life is for living, not for crying or surrendering.

• You know there are things that make you sad, but open the window and let it go away little by little to let you breathe better.

Cultivate your dreams every day to overcome grief

Maybe the weather today is cloudy. Maybe a storm is threatening and you do not feel like doing anything. But do we gain something by sitting at home and watching it rain?

Not at all. Forget that the sky is black, that today you have darker circles on your face than yesterday. Or that you no longer have the person who used to make you happy by your side. It’s time to look for new dreams, implement new projects. Dreams are ignited every day through small ideas which in turn can lead to great opportunities.

• When you wake up, think of something that you want to do today. Go to the park, go shopping. Call a friend you haven’t seen in a while. Buy a new book. Try a new hairstyle or sign up for a course for something you are interested in.
• Every change you make today will be a new bridge built for your happiness tomorrow. It’s worth giving it a try.

3. The importance of “knowing how to let go”

You certainly know what we mean by the idea of ​​”letting go.” Everyone goes through cycles, different stages. The moments in our lives where we are connected to certain people. Later we distance ourselves, and start a new cycle.

There are some who do not accept these changes: the end of a relationship, the loss of a relative, moving to another city, the loss of a job, a friendship…

Life is constantly changing, and we must accept that sometimes we have to put aside what has happened to look ahead. This is not easy at all. It’s hard to say goodbye to someone we loved until recently. It is difficult to put memories behind you to focus on tomorrow in a different way.

How do we do that then? How can we “let go” of what we were or had yesterday? With courage, enthusiasm and good self-esteem. Imagine that life is like a big room full of doors that you can see through.

Do not get caught in a box of memories. Look through these doors for hope.

4. Renew yourself and love yourself

Life is change, and sadness becomes much more dangerous if we stay in it – if we stay at home and never go out, do not want to talk to anyone. Seeking refuge in tears.

Avoid this! Any attempt to overcome despair definitely frees us from falling into a depression. We must realize that everyone deserves to be happy, including you.

Renew yourself with new projects. Look at yourself and find something that you have always wanted to do, but never dared to try. Take a trip on your own? Applying for a job in another city? To live is to accept challenges, and courage is needed to overcome grief. But we assure you that you can do the same.

Because you deserve it, do not doubt it!
