Sometimes, you feel angry at yourself, you get disappointed, and you feel like giving up on life. Yes, it is normal to feel that way. However, do not let your problems get you down. As long as you are alive, there is always hope. Try to stay positive whatever life throws at you, and lift everything to God.

There is no doubt that exercise is favorable for your overall health and well-being. It makes you stronger, helps to ward off different kinds of illnesses, delays the signs of aging and gives you a positive outlook in life. According to a study, when you exercise, your body releases a chemical called Dopamine. It is responsible for giving you a happy feeling.

Reduce your anxiety or stress

Stress is one of the top causes of illnesses. Sadly, it is inevitable. However, you can lessen the effects of stress if you will always be keeping your health in check, practice work-life balance, spend time with family, friends or special someone and if you will maintain a positive attitude among others. If you are optimistic in life, your anxiety and stress levels will reduce.

Never give up

We all have a fair share of battles, and as you may already know that even the smallest problem can lead to something bigger when racked up. If you feel like life is being unfair to you, never consider the thought of giving up. There is a reason why is it happening. Just turn to God and ask for wisdom and guidance.
I think that life is difficult. People have challenges. Family members get sick, people get older, you don't always get the job or the promotion that you want. You have conflicts in your life. And really, life is about your resilience and your ability to go through your life and all of the ups and downs with a positive attitude."

Learn how to help

Helping someone will not only make you feel good about yourself but will spread positivity to other people, too. Lend a hand if someone is in need of help, even if it is the simplest effort like checking them out to see if they are okay or not through text or phone call. Also, be the best listener if someone is sharing his or her problem.
-
Always be thankful

Even the smallest gesture or act of kindness done to you, do not forget to be always thankful. Showing your appreciation or gratitude to someone can't only give you a positive feeling, but it can make them smile, too. Say thank you or leave a small note to the person who has helped you today.

Seek professional help if you need it
