Life can sometimes get on top of you and make you feel as if you have no hope and as a result you can start to feel depressed and powerless. But you may be feeling depressed but you are not powerless.If you want to begin to feel better then first you need to just put your worries aside for a second.I know it's easier said than done but just trust me on this one.Get a pen and paper and write down the things that you have in your life to be grateful for. Even if it's as simple as running water, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, eyes to be able to read this etc, etc. Keep writing until you can't think of anything else that you have to be grateful for. Have a think about this and think about how lucky you are to have these things.
What makes it challenging when you go to the doctor not feeling well and you're told there's nothing wrong with you is that you know there is something wrong, but the tests just aren't picking it up.You see, there isn't a distinct line between health and disease. In most cases, it's a gradual process. You don't go from healthy to having a disease overnight, unless you came in contact with something that causes an immediate reaction. Most of the time, there are shades of gray where you're not healthy, but you're not sick enough for the tests medical science has available to detect it.
Don't despair. There is hope.Just because someone tells you there's nothing wrong with you and you feel lousy, doesn't mean you have to believe them.Even though a doctor may have told you that you'll just have to learn to live with it, doesn't mean you do.for example norma's story,She was overweight, bloated and her body retained water. No matter how hard she tried, she could not lose weight. Dieting didn't help. Neither did regular exercise.
When you begin to feel better you will feel more motivated and like you can do more but you have to start with yourself. Do something you enjoy, put on some music you love and start to dance or a comedy. But shake off them blues because they don't change anything they don't help anyone least of all you.
Keep your chin up because you have plenty to be grateful for it's just sometimes hard to see this when you are feeling down. When you start believing that you can feel better you will start feeling better.Start with a smile, just a little one and then feel it deep inside your soul till you're grinning like a Cheshire cat. Smiling helps shift your emotions and your mood. You deserve to feel better, the fact that you're reading this tells me you want to. So go on, enjoy yourself do something fun.
Be sure to drink at least 64 ounces of water. It's best to drink throughout the day, perhaps sipping on a 32 ounce cup of water all morning, then refilling it at lunch and drinking the rest over the course of your afternoon.You might find that you need to make more trips to the bathroom, but that's a sign of proper hydration. It means your body is letting go of retained fluid and flushing itself clean.Get Energized.Snacking is an important way to keep your energy level high. Look for snacks that pack a lot of nutrition into a handful of calories.Almonds are an excellent choice because they contain protein, healthy fat, and healthy carbs. Low-fat cheese or yogurt is another good choice. Raw fruits and vegetables give you plenty of vitamins and minerals for a low calorie cost.
Be thankful for everything that you take for granted. Caught in drizzle? Be thankful that you have an umbrella. No umbrella? Be thankful that you can run and take cover. Nowhere to take cover? Be thankful that you can run! Remember, there are many who cannot.Always compare yourself with people who are less fortunate than yourself. I don't mean just moneywise or healthwise. Whatever your situation be, there will be others who are in a worse place. Appreciate the merits of your situation.
Help a stranger. Random acts of kindness can do wonders to make you feel good. Helping someone to cross the road, buying coffee or tea for someone who looks like he/she needs it, giving way to someone in a hurry, offering to carry the grocery bags for someone who looks more tired than you are...these may sound like mundane, everyday incidents, but do not underestimate their effect.
How do you find out if you have food sensitivities? You can do it on your own by following an elimination diet. However, this way can be very challenging and take a long, long time.The best way to find out is to get tested. "The ALCAT Test is the most effective and comprehensive sensitivity/intolerance test available. It is the only test shown to correlate with clinical symptoms by double blind oral challenges, the gold standard."Note: This is not a substitute for medical advice. If you have health problems, consult your physician.
