3. Start writing (everything) down.
And by ‘everything’ we really do mean everything. One of the biggest causes for stress (which is a well known cause for depression) is overthinking. And the worst part of overthinking is that it leads nowhere. There are the same ideas, same questions and same answers that just wonder through your head. Getting into a negative state in this case is innevitable.
It has been scientifically proven that writing helps people clear out their heads and get a better view on the big picture of their life. As a plus, this activity improves your memory and your logical thinking – so grab a pen and do it!
