Give Yourself an Instant Pick Me Up

Everyone experiences a time when depression threatens to take over. It doesn’t have to be a big life altering event that throws you into a depressed mode, it can be the concurrence of a variety of small things that build up overtime. It is important to know that we can all work beyond our hardships, though some may seem Lifehack.org has some interesting tips on how to overcome depression. I particularly like this one because it’s opposite what you might think:

1. Give Someone A Genuine, Massive Compliment
The reason this technique works is that it takes the focus off of yourself. It’s easy to become self-centered and overly focused on your own problems until you realize something very important: EVERYONE feels like this at times. EVERYONE is insecure about something.
