A low mood, a chronic lack of physical energy, dull emotions, when they say “I don’t feel anything, everything is emotionally dull and gray”... People sometimes describe this as depression, but a diagnosis cannot be made from these symptoms alone. It can last a long time, and most importantly, it takes away the ability to enjoy life. The important thing is that you can cope with it, you can overcome it and start noticing the small and big joys of life, if you start with simple and understandable steps, assures Elena Krechko, Master Coach of the International Coaching Federation, corporate psychologist Beeline.
Irina Khakamada, Russian entrepreneur, public figure, presenter of original motivational courses, former deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation says:
"Energy is always in motion. And both the human brain, the soul, and the body, which needs to be supported for endless energy, must always be in motion. This must be done consciously, understanding that it is your tool for achieving success... The secret is in balance and periodic pauses for respite and self-care."

Imagine what result you will achieve if, day after day, you do what you do not like, or what you define for yourself as worthless and useless in your personal life and in your professional activities? At a certain point in your life, you will face physical and emotional exhaustion, a feeling of boredom and apathy. “How and can I help myself?” - you ask. Of course you can! You do not have to manage it alone; appropriate support can be part of the next step. There is a phrase: “Get out of where it is bad! Just be sure to get out!” How? With the help of various physical and mental practices, meditation, art therapy practices, aimed at regular work with a psychologist or psychotherapist that promotes you. Emotional strain and physical symptoms can occur together, but symptoms do not prove that an inner conflict has caused a medical condition.
