Recovering from extreme sadness due to several factors such as break-ups and family fights make us feel frustrated and feel like it is the end of the world. We tend to be in despair searching for some ways to let go of this burden that keeps bothering us but it just seems to stay. In short, the more we try to find ways to just forgive and forget, the more that the  ghosts of these pains run after us. As a consequence, we end up loosing our self esteem and start thinking that we will never get that kind of self fulfillment which we have dreaming of. If you could relate to this scenario, then you have to start betting your boots, as this article is a must read for you. What you are about to read right now are simple ways which you could use to release whatever ill feeling you have been keeping deep within you for a long period of time.  These strategies are ones which I myself have tried and tested to be effective towards picking up the broken pieces of your heart and eventually  feel enlightened and ready to face another life's challenge. Here are the 5 Easy Ways to Release Your Sadness.

  1. Write - Putting your thoughts into writing would help you let go of the moments which you do not want others to get to know. As a writer and a teacher, I am someone who tries to     keep a positive image to other people. This is the reason why I keep my problems for quite some time then later release them by scribbling whatever comes out of mind. There are also times when I need to write a letter to someone a hate most and say everything ( as in everything) that has brought me painful memories. After doing that, I end up burning  the written article and I would feel better.

2. Treat Yourself - Several self-help books that i have read said that the only  only way to be sure to yourself is to learn how to love yourself. When you feel sad, you can't help but feel angry and rejected and you find it difficult to move - on. You don't have to worry that much because being melancholic simply means that you have given way too much to the one who had brought your sadness and you just can't take the fact that he only neglected you.  To find a solution to this problem, all you have to do is start giving yourself a lion share of pampering. Go and make yourself look pretty and handsome or perhaps you could go shopping and buy a new pair of jeans or shirt that would somehow make you look confident and cool.

3. Meditate - Meditating simply means giving yourself some quiet time when you get confused about everything. This is one way of making your thoughts, feelings, and body system be harmonized  to each other which in turn will enable you to have a peace of mind. To some religions, meditating is one form of having a conversation with God. But as for myself, I believe that meditation is one way of temporarily  skipping from the chaotic world of problems through silence and I also believe that it is through silence where you could find enlightenment.

4. Socialize - Aside from the various advantages of the previous mentioned options to relieve your sadness, another way to release your problem is to socialize with the people whom you trust more. Try attending some parties where you could meet new friends and have some fun and adventure. It pays to laugh a little even when you are in distress as it only takes few muscles to smile and more muscles to from.

5. Pray -  This is the most important thing that you have to do in order to survive trying times. Regardless of your religious beliefs and ideals, asking for the divinity of your God to turn your winter days to summer would definitely work well.

So there you have everything that you need to do when you feel that all of  the things that you have been wanting to do and achieve have all fallen out of order. Just don't think so much of your sadness because I know that there's someone out there who is writing the perfect life story for you and this sadness of yours is just a part of it. Cheer Up.
