How do you delay your misery?

Answer 1

I tend to avoid my misery for as long as possible.....and find happiness in many other things until I can finally go back and try to deal with it.

Answer 2

I follow the Geeta dictum

sukhdukhau same kritvaa laabhaalaabhau jayaajayau
tato yudhaay yujswa

Equate the misery and happiness
Equate gain with loss
Equate victory and defeat
And proceed with the struggle
Of Life

In my over eighty years of life I have always found this broad rule very helpful. I am never down with misery or elated with gain. You may feel that my life must indeed be dull with no tears and no triumphs.It is not so. In fact,I can enjoy the passing moments more positively.Misery does not pull me down nor victory raise me to the skies.

Answer 3

I prefer to deal with anything that may make me miserable directly. I guess the only thing that "delays" misery for me is RAGE.

Then again I take pills for that sort of thing now so its been a while since I've been either Miserable or Angry. Maybe seeing a Psychologist will help you too?

Answer 4

Once I lied about something in order to delay my misery,but my lie just added to my misery.

Answer 5

Find a hobby and put God First. Also love yourself. Trust me I had misery before.

Alcohol

Answer 7

Answer 8

Join the Dark Side

Answer 9

Sleep

Answer 10

Try not to dwell on whatever is making me miserable. Watch a movie, talk on the phone, have a drink or even go for a jog.
