From time to time, we all get a bit down. Maybe we are feeling bad because we’re not doing well with our goals. There are many reasons for feeling down, but I’m not able to discuss all of them. 36 .
Make a list. Sometimes we are sad simply because we are troubled by all the things we have to do. 37 . Make a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Thus you’re getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that can pick up your mood.
38 .You’ve made a list, and you still feel puzzled? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Once you get into action, you’ll feel better. And once you start doing something, you will feel much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself.
39 . I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune. You might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered.
Talk about it. Get a best friend, family member or coworker you can talk to. 40 . It can also help you work out the reasons you’re feeling down.
A. Take action.

C. Get out of the house and do something.
D. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference.
E. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen.
F. Do whatever you need to do to feel good about yourself.
