Here are a few tips and thoughts that have been of help for both in guarding against depression and dealing with it when it comes. 1 Look after key relationships. 2 Stay active. 3 Exercise. 4 Watch your diet. 5 Keep an eye on the booze. 6 Sleep. 7 Read books. 8 Cut down on social media. 9 Listen to music regularly. 10 Even better – make music. 11 Write down your thoughts. 12 Keep in touch with the people you would normally be in contact with. 13 Get in touch with someone you have lost contact with. 14 Do something good for someone else every day. 15 Do the easy things if you are finding it hard to do the difficult things. 16 Stay curious. Try new things. 17 Enjoy nature. 18 Remember that all crises end eventually. 19 Keep things in perspective. Don’t panic. And finally … 20 See an opportunity in every setback.
