Why I felt like going to Hello Work after being depressed two weeks ago

Two weeks ago, I felt gloomy about Hello Work, or rather, about the life of a company employee. However, now I feel like trying to apply for a job.

Perhaps the change in my mood is due to the following factors.

• Good brain chemicals released during morning walks

• Feeling satisfied from a molecular nutrition perspective

• Dealing with allergies

• Clearing my head by writing on note.com

• Realizing I can live on about 100,000 yen a month

• Reconsidering that if it doesn't work out, I can just quit

I will write about this in a little more detail.

6 small steps that changed me

1. Refreshing with a morning walk

The walk I make a daily routine every morning has been a huge help. The morning air and scenery I feel while walking clear my head more than I imagined.

It is often said that exercising releases good substances in the brain and makes you feel positive. I truly experienced that. Just going outside for 15 minutes changes my mood. I especially recommend morning walks.

2. Adjusting my body with molecular nutrition

I also felt good effects from reviewing my nutritional balance with reference to molecular nutrition. I am taking protein and vitamins properly. I am utilizing protein powder and supplements.

As a result, my physical condition has improved, and I have become less tired than before.

It seems that for fundamental improvement, it takes about a year at my age. I will continue with it.

This book is easy to understand and I recommend it.

3. Improvement of allergy symptoms

I had been feeling chronic fatigue for quite a long time. When I looked into it, it fit the symptoms of a certain type of allergy. Fortunately, the way to deal with it involved a certain ingredient that is also sold at regular drugstores.

This feeling of fatigue, that sense of being so sluggish that I didn't want to do anything, has been significantly relieved.

When the ailments that have been bothering me are reduced, the motivation to take action naturally arises. When you feel physically well, your mood brightens, too.

4. The habit of writing on note.com

Taking the time to organize my thoughts by writing articles like this on note.com was also a major factor.

When you put your emotions and thoughts into words, you can start to accept your anxieties more calmly. A major benefit of writing is being able to objectively see what you are actually feeling.

5. Gaining peace of mind by understanding living costs

I realized that 'my options increased once I thought of a plan to live on 100,000 yen a month.' When I calculated my living expenses in detail, I found that I could manage after all, and my anxiety eased. Thinking about the worst-case scenario and preparing for it can actually make you feel more at ease.

6. The ease of thinking, 'If it doesn't work out, I can just quit'

Finally, being able to think, 'If it doesn't work out, I can just quit,' was a big change. If you don't push yourself too hard and approach things with a lighthearted 'I'll give it a try' attitude, the hurdle for taking on a challenge drops significantly.

Reflecting on the reasons for becoming positive

Looking back, I feel that these six steps worked together to change my state of mind. Improving my physical condition through walks and better nutrition, organizing my thoughts on note.com, and calculating my living costs to gain peace of mind. These small actions piled up, and before I knew it, I had become positive.

To you, who are feeling anxious

If there is anyone out there feeling anxious about job hunting, please try starting with small actions. For example, make a 15-minute walk a daily routine, or be a little more conscious of nutrition in today's meal. Alternatively, I recommend writing down your current feelings, whether on paper or digitally.

First and foremost, I think it is important to be kind to yourself and start moving within a range that doesn't strain you.

Summary

The reason I, from two weeks ago, was able to change my state of mind this much is thanks to piling up small changes. I would be happy if this article is of any help to you.
