6 Tips to feel less depressed than parents

Do you feel in control of life can lead to greater trust, family happiness, and overall satisfaction. Here are 6 tips on how to manage your feelings.

Tip # 1: Do you have a support system

Everyone has good days and bad days. This is normal, as others around to help when bad days sneak up on you. Talk about your feelings with those close to you, so that you can watch for signs. Share feelings with others can be a challenge, but if you never know how it feels, never know if or when you need help. Can see that someone around who need to make a difference in the world, the characters that you help you.

Tip # 2: Know what you want from your day

There are so many things that should be done in a day, but there will be a sense of accomplishment? Select one or two small (but significant) things you want to complete during the day. Something as simple as the kids to the park for family time, or you wash all the dishes that will help you feel like you may have made a difference, without it all possible. If you have a little time and energy, you choose one or two more. At the end of the day, focus on what you have done, and not what you do not.

Tip 3: Take time for yourself

We have often heard when mom or dad is not happy, nobody is happy. This is very true, but it can work in the reverse direction. If mom or dad are happy, then happiness will come easy for everyone. If you take 5 or 10 minutes to calm down and return her feelings, nothing happens. The time that you for calming you pay more dividends to spend through charged with a bad attitude. This is no guarantee that the children behave perfectly, but at least you will be able to better handle the situation. Children can feel when something is wrong, but also the love and kindness feel.

Tip 4: Take time for a family meal

If nothing else, you can bring your family, at least sit down for a meal. Note that the food does not have to complicated, homemade or even to be home. Discuss the events of the day with a meal, and pending events which may contribute to misunderstandings. Everyone will be there, and I know what's going on. Everyone on the same page can help reduce stress and rushing in the last second.

Tip 5: Have fun

Laughter is good for a person. Play with your children and take time off from time to time for special family activities. You can even cleaning a fun family activity cleaner for 15-20 minutes, then play a game together. Cleaning house should not only work, mom or dad. Another great idea is that children be responsible and decide what each one does. This teaches children the skills that will last a lifetime.

Tip 6: Get plenty of rest

If something comes to mind, before you go to bed to write. This dream is easier because you do not have to forget about something, take care of tomorrow. Sometimes it is enough to write, it may be easier to remember, but also know the idea there in the morning. Do you have to have no fear, some things do not go his unfinished. The latter finished some cleaning makes little difference whether you are too tired to continue tomorrow.

Everyone has enough time to get feelings out. This means that we are human beings. These tips are not all inclusive and what works for some might not be in another. Often talk about their feelings, the most effective way to find out what his means for you. The life of the parents is very rewarding, despite all the ups and downs.
