Depression

For your consideration…

First let me say that this message is not about “clinical” depression…depression that needs a doctor and treatment.

Today’s message is about feeling down, lonely, fearful, discombobulated…that kind of depressed. Our message tells us that these are cycles of life. We all have them. They present a contrast and a choice. The contrast is to a better time/feelings in our life. The choice is what we want to do about it. Do we want to let depression be an anchor and continue to put us down or we can use it to launch us up and forward.

The point is. We are not stuck. We can not be stuck. The Universe moves on no matter what. What we do with that or how we move on is up to us. We have a choice.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Remember…You are the keeper of the light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Make good choices.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day.

-A fun card making class. The cards we made are beautiful.

-Seeing my sweet Conner.

-Dinner with Lisa.

-A new book.
