hi ,

if u r saying that everyuthingis well aroiund then , there is no sign or indication that u may land into depression ,

seeking ur question , u need some change of enviornment , ,  for it u can change ur room furniture place, put nature's walpapers on walls,

go to different where u havent been ,,

and with all above if u feel better then even yoga and some meditation will help u to keep u mental fitness strong ..
