ReplyDeleteI think that cheer up my friends or family members when talk about feeling in those
moment.
For example, when my sister is just tired of the same old grind, I plan to go to the
cinema whit her and later eat out to restaurant. She’s happy about going her the
prefer places and eating delicious food.
When people is depressed, down or a little blue needs to talk about feeling whit
friends or family members and does interesting activities or some hobbies.
In my case, when I’m tired of working hard day , little blue or down, my friends plan
to go out with them in a large group and thanks for their interest.
I enjoy running, exercise can be very helpful because most cheerful me up and
calm me when, for example, depressing day or a sad occasion. I would like to

For example:
I have special friend for many years. When her grandmother dead she’s feeling sad for a long time. I decide to go for one week with her to the beach, talking about the best moments when her grandmother lived, some time she depressing but change feeling for good memories.

In the life many people they are moments when depressing, sad, tired, bored. But they people have a very good family; friend’s is possible change and the filing well.

In my case I try to cheer up my family members or friends inviting them to go out to do anything. I can invite them to go to the movies or go out for lunch or dinner.
ReplyDeleteMy family members don’t use to do physical activity, for this reason I try to invite them for lunch, even go to the pool or to the beach. In the case of my male friends and some female friends, sometimes I propose them go out to do physical activities, for example go hiking, go to the beach and sometimes go to a party; I have a friend that enjoys play billiard, and in this case I invite him to play, because I like play it too. Sometimes, in the case of both family members and friends, I try to tell them few words charged with positivism in sad occasions or if they have a depressing day.
In the case of friends that didn’t like to do much physical activity, I propose them go to the movies or go out for lunch or dinner.
I use to do these activities to cheer up someone. That’s good because all this activities cheer me up too. In my case, what really cheers me up is going to places where I’ve never been before. That’s the most exciting to me. Go to new places and do activities that I’ve never done before, as a matter of fact, are things that I would enjoy to share with my family members and friends.
I think that to help a person in feeling blue, must first to ask if the person want to talk about the problem, the person must understand that you wish help.
ReplyDeleteFor example when a friend of mine is feeling blue, I always to invited a walk, and then eat ice cream, always result wonderful.
Once a day, my sister leidys had a problem at work, and she didn’t want go, I advice that necessary, the tackle the problem with your boss, is terrible for me is not to resolve things. After that she to tell whit her boss, she was happy

ReplyDeleteIn my case I´ll try to do something that I know people like, For example, if one of my friends is feeling blue, I invite him or her to do something that he/she like (maybe go to the movie teather, maybe drink something, maybe eat something nice).
I´ll always try to do my best effort to cheer up my friends and my family, because I don´t like to see them in that way. For my friends usually we´ll go to drink something, sometimes to the cafeteria or something like that. Sometimes we´ll go to drink some alcohol, and talk.
some of the things that I do to cheer up friends or family members, when they are distressed, I invite to do any activities, for example, go the movies, go to dance, drink a bear or a cup coffee. When they are depressed or little blue I talk whit them and if they are going through a rough patch in life, I sympathize with them.
ReplyDeleteVery well done!!
ReplyDeleteYour comments were very interesting and provide great ideas on what to do when a friend or family member is feeling down. Taking people out to the movies, a restaurant, or going to the beach or dancing are some of the activities most people enjoy.
Elvira, Norahli and Guillermo consider that talking about the problem is very helpful in these situations as well.
