There are times when you feel blue, sad, lonely, and anxious. Most of the time, you know the reason, and you can work it out. But there are times when these emotions you feel are so sudden, and you are unable to pinpoint the reason/s making you feel this way.
In such a situation, we want to curl up on the bed and cry our hearts out. It is one way to feel better as when we cry we feel light and better. But there are other things also that you can do, which will help you feel better. Want to know what? Let’s check them out.
1. Drink coffee
If you are a coffee-drinker, the smell of coffee is one thing that can calm your mind. So, when you are down and don’t know what ails you, brew up your favorite coffee. One cup of this will make you feel better.
Don’t want to go to lots of trouble, no worries! Just buy coffee pods. Pod flavors come in varieties and pour some hot water on it, and your delicious cup of coffee is ready.
P.S. If you are a tea drinker, make tea, and you will feel better.
2. Bake a cake and eat it whole
Some days it is okay to indulge, especially when you are sad or feeling lonely. Bake a cake, use wheat or oats flour to make it healthier, and use jaggery powder instead of sugar. Bake it with coffee or chocolate or anything that you love, and eat it whole. You don’t have to share it with anyone. Also, a scoop of ice-cream on top of it will make you feel a lot better.
3. Take some me-time

If you are an emotional eater, it is best to stay away from food when you are sad or down. It can prompt you to eat a lot. But no worries, we have a solution for you too. Just find some nice and peaceful corner and sit there. Close your eyes, breathe in the fresh air, and sort your thoughts.
Not only is this peaceful and calming, but it will give you some time to figure out what is making you feel this way.
4. Talk it out
Sometimes talking to a family or friend can help you feel better. You don’t have to figure out the reason for your negative thoughts; you only need to share them with someone. The people closest to you have the power to make you feel better, and help you make sense of things.
Not want to talk to anyone? No problem, journalize your thoughts. Also, it is better to write in a diary every night so that you have somewhere to rant or express gratitude. You don’t keep your emotions inside this way, which is healthy.
5. Netflix and chill

It is my go-to option for whenever I feel down. I just put on my favorite movie or show and drink coffee and just let go of any negative emotions that I feel.
