Depression Session;
Depression: affirms the negative, enforces hopelessness and helplessness,
encourages a defeatist attitude, and robs a person of ability, often leaving
them feeling debilitated and worthless, unable to function, unwilling to try to
figure out a better way.
However, it can also encourage a humble attitude and help to
direct and re-frame one’s thinking.
When a person is able to pull out of depression, he or she
is then able to see that it is not the situation so much as he or she looks at
the situation.
Who is prone to depression?
Often very sensitive people, who are caring, giving, and
loving sorts that expect life will give back to them the peace and harmony that
they feel they resonate towards others.
When life crashes- and things do not go as they expect, depression sets
in.
Wouldn't it be nice for people to work together and care for
one another? Wouldn't it be nice to eliminate suffering and live in harmony with
all life forms?
Conflict is a way of life and all people must learn how to
cope with opposing forces, whether it is a person, or the weather. We will all struggle at some point in life.
How to get through this without getting crushed?
Perception- Change your perception of how you look at the challenge
and step by step you WILL begin to make some changes and little by little
things get better.
Ego demands that things must be this way or that. Be with
what is in the moment, right now, what is going on? BE HERE NOW…so no regrets
and at the moment focus on what you can do not what you can’t do.
The negative thoughts have great power to pull a person into
a fear-based-thought process. Fear is
the precursor to anger and then there is another mess to deal with.
Do something for someone else and rejoice in one thing..just
for today.
"We can
complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have
roses." —Abraham Lincoln
