Step 1
Taking a break on days when you feel low is normal.
But in the meantime, you may take a minute to think about yourself and note down your strengths and how it affects your day-to-day life.
Step 2
Think of any activities you always look forward to, which you are always excited to do and can never get bored of.
These activities can be anything. You can also ask your close one to help you recognize your strength.
Step 3
Now write down about them in your diary and about the time when you used them to feel content.
Step 4
How do you feel now? Do you think it was helpful, and now you are in your element? Now plan to use it to keep up with your strengths in your upcoming days.
