We often get rejections most of the time. It may be in the form of the guy not returning your unrequited love. Or the girl you love has been loving another guy for so long. It also might be the case where our test results are very low and very much timely, when you get a lot of SSS (Shining, Shimmering, Singko - okay. credits to Rangel for introducing the word to me just recently :p ) last semester. We might admit it or not, it still hurts... a lot.
So then, what to do? Every time I feel sad, I feel like committing suicide. (Well. I have this suicidal tendency, you know.) But, alas! I'm still alive and kicking. And believe me, just like a normal human being, I've experienced my share of pain heartaches in my sixteen years of existence.
That's why I'm going to share my very helpful to-do-list when sad and disappointed for all people in need. :)
1. Eat chocolates!
It's my favorite. :) Whenever I'm sad, I just get a handful of sweets and stuff them into my mouth. (Yum! Yum!) It's scientifically proven, anyway. Chocolates have dopamine that increases the production of our good and happy hormone, endorphins! That's why, we will feel happy afterwards. In addition, it helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol. It's good for the body. Eat in moderation. :) (Thank you for the other blog in giving me infos. :p http://stress.about.com/b/2009/01/14/de-stress-by-chocolate.htm )
2. Have a worthy friend.
Friends are very much important in the coping process. They are our "breathers". We can relate almost everything to our friends. They can understand mostly what's happening to us because they've been experiencing it too. They can give just opinions and help you think rationally about the problem you're encountering. Plus, it's very nice to eat chocolates with friends. :)
3. Grab a stress ball!
Okay. To tell you frankly, I was about to say, punch your wall, break the dishes, slap your face... but, it seems not right. :) So I ought for a stress ball instead. :) This way, you can release you excess energy into the stress ball without harming anyone (except for the poor little thing... oh well, it lives for that sole purpose anyway. :D )
4. Play your favorite playlist.
Music helps a lot in calming a person. Whether the genre of the song you're plying is rock, metal, rap, mellow, ballad etc., if it's what you're into, it will soothe your feelings. It will help you arrange your innermost thoughts. It will help you think clearly. (And most of all, it will help you sleep all through those sleepless nights. Ha-ha! )
5. Smile a lot.
This is not the "I-don't-want-to-explain-to-others-why-I'm-sad-so-I'll-just-smile" thing. You are smiling not because you pretend to be happy but because you genuinely want to be happy. Your feelings attracts what will happen. We must be optimistic always so that we can get the good results that we aim for. It's "The Secret".
Well, it maybe is applicable to only me because this is my passion, reading stories that interests me. As a counterpart, you should do what you wanted to do the most. If your passion is dancing, then, dance to your heart's content, sing if you like, draw if you like. What's important is, you will express yourself fully and that you will regain your feeling of self-importance. :)
7. Say I love you to your loved ones.
I do this. Really. It helps me when I say "I love you" to them and they'll reply "I love you too". :) Such a warm feeling helps me through the day. For a moment after hearing the words, (if said sincerely and genuinely) I feel like I'm floating in cloud-nine. (Okay, exaggerating. Ha-ha.)
8. Play DotA.
This is nice. Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be DotA.It's just the same in number 6 where you get to express and let go of your anger, angsts and hatreds. :) It feels great whenever you "kill" someone in the game, and you'll have a Godlike streak. Really, DotA lessens worries. :)
9. Facebook all day.
Write mini-blogs in your statuses, comment on others', play an application, or whatever you feel like doing in Facebook. The thing here, you get to drain yourself up without noticing you've gone through the day already.
10. Write in my diary.
Whether it's an online blog or a diary with the notebook is fine. The thing here is, you should have your mind written. Your feelings are reflected in whatever you write. So that, whenever the time will come, you will just have to laugh over your stress today.
There are many ways in where we can reduce our stress. It varies from person to person. So, find out in which way you can lessen your burdens because life is fun. Defeat stress and enjoy life! ♥
