How do you cheer yourself up when you feel sad or burnt out?

[SunZoo]

I attempt to look at the silver-lining in every circumstance I find myself in that I initially find untenable. I also take with me the saying,

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

-Helen Keller

Oh and last, I do not seek happiness, because that is an ephemeral emotion that ebbs and flows. Happiness will come and it will go, since that is the nature of life itself. That being the case, I instead seek contentment with myself, my actions, and push towards maintaining balance in my life. I allow myself to enjoy my happiness, by living in the moment when it happens. I do not waste my time pursing it, because doing that also places me in a mental state of concern about happiness when I am not feeling it. Which I believe is a waste of time and effort to be concerned about.

Perfectly put.

Beautifully said. Rep.

By getting to the root of the problem and not avoiding it. Satiating my frustration through my vices just makes me feel even more down in the dumps after.​
