Can playing games cause depression? 6 easy ways to relieve depressive emotions!
When a person is feeling low, they often don’t feel like moving, the less they move the harder it is to shift their attention, which leads to even lower emotions, forming a vicious cycle. Therefore, you can change negative emotions by engaging in sports activities such as running or playing ball.
When troubled by negative emotions, try yelling out loudly in a caring way. Releasing built-up emotions through urgent, intense, unrestrained yelling is also a method.
Crying intensely in moments of extreme sadness can bring emotional calmness. Crying is a good method to relieve tension, worries, and pain. American psychologist Weifalee believes that tears can expel certain toxins produced by the body during the stress response process. From this perspective, holding back tears when you feel like crying is like being slowly poisoned.
Shifting your focus from negative-emotion triggers to other activities can involve doing things you are interested in, engaging in activities you enjoy. Such as playing games, sports, chess, listening to music, watching movies, reading newspapers, etc. You can also go out for a trip to beautiful scenery to free yourself from negative emotions, thus igniting positive, happy emotional responses.
