Being lonely is a normal part of our everyday lives. We get sad when we fail in our exams, when we're rejected by person we love, or when someone very close to us passes away. Depression, however, could be more fatal than just plain loneliness. It could render life-long consequences that could ruin your self-esteem, health, and well-being.

Here are some superb tips to conquer melancholy mood and get most bliss out of your daily activities.

1) Get Enough Light and Sunshine.

Lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for secretion of hormone melatonin, which could trigger a dispirited mood and a lethargic condition.

Melatonin is only produced in dark. It lowers body temperature and makes you feel sluggish. If you are always cooped up in your room (with curtains closed), it would be difficult to restrain yourself from staying in bed.

This is reason why many people are suffering from depression much more often in winter than in other seasons. It's because nights are longer.

If you can't afford to get some sunshine, you can always lighten up your room with brighter lights. Have lunch outside office. Take frequent walks instead of driving your car over short distances.

2) Get Busy. Get Inspired.

You'll be more likely to overcome any feeling of depression if you are too busy to notice it. Live a life full of inspired activities.

Do things you love. If you're a little short on cash, you could engage in simple stuffs like taking a leisurely stroll in park, playing sports, reading books, or engaging in any activity that you have passion for and would love to pursue.

"The more you hate, more you love."

What an ironic statement. Whoever said those words must have been drunk. The bottom line is this: It is extremely difficult to like or love something that you despise.

But what can we do to solve this dilemma? What if you're trapped in an environment that you don't want to be involved in? What if you're sick and tired of your job that you feel like puking every time someone mentions your work?

Of course, you take inspired and motivated action to get out of your present rut and start living life you've always dreamed of.

Guess what? It's not going to be easy. You will have to come out of your comfort zones to discover potentials and opportunities waiting for you. You have to conquer your fear and take calculated risks. You have to stay focused and persevere despite difficulties you will encounter.

Success doesn't come easy. It takes heart and passion. It may also take some time before you can actually reap fruits of your labor.

But how do you actually survive this stage? This is moment when you're working extra hard to reach your goals. This is also instance when you're enduring whatever adversity hits you.

For example, you're employed in a job that you hate. You know deep inside that you would not like to stay in rat race throughout your life. So you decided to engage in a part-time business or to study night courses. Good move, my friend.
