Almost a month ago that June 12, the day the XX edition of the Soccer World Cup began at the Itaquerao stadium in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo. Now, after an intense month of crying, joy, penalties and various humiliations, our lives will be a little more empty and boring. We give you a series of tips to combat the arrival of the dreaded post World depression.
6 Tips to Fight Post World Depression
- First of all, we have to recognize the risk factors: despondency, sadness, a feeling of emptiness and loss of interest in work or major life issues. If we find ourselves affected by some of these symptoms, it is likely that we are beginning to develop a strong withdrawal syndrome towards soccer.
- Think that in just a few days the main sports newspapers will begin to launch all kinds of rumors and gossip regarding the great signings of the summer. Isn’t it fun to see how they are wrong over and over again in their alleged information backed by supposed authorized sources?
- If the clumsiness of some sports journalists doesn’t console us, we can settle for the club pre-season games, which will start in just a few weeks.
- In the absence of football, we can focus our attention on finding new hobbies that replace the time we spend the rest of the year supporting our favorite teams. Summer is a great time to discover great talent in the movies, find unforgettable stories in books or meet new people.
- Although it is difficult for us to accept, there are other sports apart from football. During the summer months we can enjoy television broadcasts of athletics events, tennis matches or cycling competitions. Without going any further, the World Basketball Championship begins on August 30.
- Undoubtedly the most fun option is to go on a trip to a hot place, if possible with a beach, enjoy our partner and some good drinks lying in comfortable hammocks and think that, like almost everything in life, football is cyclical and, whether we like it or not, our favorite players will once again take over the television screens to make us vibrate with the so-called beautiful sport.
