Exercise
This is not simply a way to get more fit and lose weight. Blood is pumped all through your body. Endorphin bounce around every part of your body. It the feeling of being alive and well and it stays with you for some time. It doesn’t need to be complicated, walk, march, dance and just keep moving.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a solitary practice that allows you to let go of negativity. You are not required to announce that you have forgiven someone. Simply forgive, dump the baggage and fill it with something you love and find uplifting.
Hydration
Yes, drink water and plenty of it. The first thing they seem to do in a hospital it get an iv in and administer fluids. I asked the nurse why and she said, 99% of the time people are dehydrated. So let’s get some water and broth in our body and see if that doesn’t help us be happy. There is no way to overthink get hydrated.
Read
Step out of your thoughts and ideas and take a look at something else. Immerse yourself in a mystery, a tell all book, or a how to. Reading can transport your thoughts to a different path and those mental walks are healthy.
Wallow in It
Set a time and choose to wallow in the sadness and then get moving forward. Often times just acknowledging what is there and choosing to embrace it for a limited time can be a powerful tool.

Great advice here. I have tried all of these methods and they all work.
Very effective 5 steps to get over sadness.
Very interesting post. I totally agree with your advice. I also use some.
I do walk around and do some shadow boxing to pick up my mood when I am down. What saddens me is how some people mistreat animals that have never harmed them. Even the kitten Burt can be a cat who gets his jollies running outside for a little while by sneaking out the door, I would never want to harm him.
Lol, I was looking for “playing games” but it’s not there …
perhaps losing a game might make one more sad … lol
but gaming has help me sometimes
Very wise thoughts here to help people combat their sadness.
It is funny, I work really hard to avoid the sadness around me. It permeates and takes over sometimes. I hear a song on the radio that reminds me of my father “turn that music down”. Or something my grandfather used to say.
Sometimes it is even logging into Virily and reading the comments. That one should always make me happy or at least be something I can live with. It isn’t.
Thank you for posting, reminding and caring!
Good compilation of strategies to fight sadness. I practice about half of them and now I have another half to master. Thank you for giving us these tips.
