Healthy food is a great way to increase your wellbeing. If we eat too much fatty foods, too much meat and not enough fresh food, we feel lazy and down.

Congratulations! You did everything right and you feel happy obviously. Nobody needs to tell you about luck – you feel lucky as it is! You know how it feels to have a good life. No need to worry, the sun will always shine for you.
Okay some things could be better, but your life is a success story. No big changes are needed, you have everything under control and you are able to improve it on your own, where necessary. You are doing fine, and this won’t change in the near future.
Better times will come. Maybe your personal luck is not in its best state at the moment, but this depends on you: Go out and meet other people, try to work out and move your body and keep attention to what you eat. Try to pick up contact with someone you haven’t heard in a while. Now is the moment to do so. Don’t forget to take care of yourself! Go shopping, take a relaxing bath or just take a walk through the park. This helps to increase your mood, to free your thoughts and to recharge your energy. You can do it, don’t hesitate!
The good news is: By answering all our questions you’ve taken the first step, which is to accept your own situation. Now you have to find the way out. Maybe you are overcritical towards yourself? Best thing would be to seek for professional help. You cannot solve every problem on our own. Maybe this is going to take some time, but sooner or later you will see the light again. You’re the most important person in your life. Do not let yourself go, stay active! And if you still see no way out at all, don’t hesitate and get some help!
