When it comes to remedies people are willing to pay an arm and a leg to feel better. We take pills to ease the pain we are in or help keep ourselves together. In a world flooded with pharmaceuticals and high expectations, it’s easy to be depressed or unhappy. Happiness seems harder to achieve now more than ever.
There is one secret that I like to share with just about everyone of my very close friends and they usually are part of my favorite medicine through out the year. I actually will be using this medication for the rest of my life. The best part about it is that is has no side effects what so ever.
The most effective medicine that you can find for under $5 is getting together with a good friend over coffee.
If coffee isn’t your thing, maybe a tea or a nice cup of hot cocoa. Whatever floats your boat doesn’t really matter. What matters here is that you are meeting up with someone that genuinely cares about you just as much as you care about them. The key to this remedy is that there is equal reciprocation in the conversations.
You have to be a good listener just as much as they are for you. Exchanging recent celebrations in your life as well as recent troubles is so important to a healthy conscience. When we open ourselves up to someone in a one on one conversation we really get honest with not only them, but ourselves.
There is great healing in this simple idea. The sometimes keeping life simple is one of the hardest things we can do. It’s already complicated enough. Why complicate it more? Just call a friend, get some coffee and catch up. It will make you feel so much better than you were before.
Coffee and communication. Keep it simple.
This.
