This may be not being able to see friends and family, or a disruption in your routine, but there are always things you can do to lessen the feeling.

There are many things in life that makes us feel sad.

You can write about it or talk to someone, being aware of why you are feeling sad makes you feel better. Identify where the sadness may come from and you'll lessen the sadness you've been feeling from before.

Figure out why you're sad.

Let yourself feel sadness for a while. After all, you are human and can experience emotions freely. You'll always feel better afterwards.

Sadness doesn't have to be bad.

Like any emotion sadness is just a temporary thing. If it lasts 2 weeks and is affecting your life, ask a doctor if you're experiencing depression. Sadness is not a one-size-fits-all approach and you need help in your own situation.

Sadness is only temporary.
