There are times when all you want to do is bury yourself at home. The good news is that every crisis can also be an opportunity. Because it is often only during bad phases that we realize what is really important to us. We learn to be grateful and enjoy life all the more after the low mood.

Learning to accept the situation

As annoyed as you may be, there are things you can't change. For example, if your partner has left, you can't force love. Then you have to learn to accept it. If you deny the situation or fight vehemently against it, you will lose sight of any possible solutions.

Take responsibility

"Why is it always me?" - such thoughts don't help anyone. Feelings of guilt such as "Why did I do this?" will only drag you deeper into the crisis. It's better to ask yourself: How can I get out of this mess? Make a note of everything that could help you. If you have possible solutions in front of you, the problem will no longer seem so bad.

Learn from previous crises

"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" - there really is something to this saying. Because, as difficult as the time is, we learn something for life in every crisis. Ask yourself: What did I do to overcome my last low? Did I do a lot of sport, talk to friends, just take some time for myself? What was good for you then will most likely help you now.

Take some time out

Even if work is a distraction, sometimes it's better to take a vacation, perhaps a trip to the seaside, to get your thoughts and feelings straight. Mental stress also affects the body. So treat yourself to massages, take hot baths, go for lots of walks and get plenty of sleep. And, of course, we can also indulge in ice cream and chocolate. Everything that is good for body and soul should definitely be on the daily agenda now.

Get support from others

Of course, friends and family are always a strong support in times of crisis, but sometimes it makes sense to talk to a psychotherapist. They can give you new impulses.
