Rising From the Depths: How to Navigate Through Depression

 Depression is difficult to manage, especially because you feel ashamed and struggle to find calm within yourself. You see everyone happy, and you feel sad or guilty that you are not able to see yourself the way other people see you.

However, you are not alone. Many people struggle with depression. Depression is a common mental illness. According to the stats, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression.

So how do you navigate through its symptoms and still live your best life:

#1 A good therapist goes hand in hand with medications

#2 Let go of major life expectations and do only the things you can do

#3 Don’t be too hard on yourself

#4 Give yourself credit every time you make progress, even when it looks small

#5 Always find joy in simple things

Irrespective of what life throws at you, you need to know that there is only one you on this planet, and you can be your own home and feel worthy of being happy with who you are.

You have to allow self-kindness, tenderness, and the belief that you are worthy. It will take some time, but once you get there, there is no looking back. Always know that you are noble and great, courageous, determined, faithful and fearless.

That is who you are and who you have always been. And understanding these can change your life because this knowledge carries a confidence that cannot be duplicated any other way.

When life comes with its challenges, remember the words of Theodore Roosevelt:

“Courage is not having the strength to go on;

 it is going on even when you don’t have the strength.”

Train Your Anxiety with Mindfulness Activities

 

 Are you having a rough anxious day? You can put strategies in place to train those anxious moments. Mindfulness activities are great for managing the worry, fear and doubts that have your mind frazzled. 

  

 

  

Sometimes you can be sitting around and nowhere out of the blue negative thoughts start popping into your mind. These thoughts lead to overthinking about what you cannot do or feelings of being undervalued. 

 

 

 

 

 #1 Do you Notice your mind becoming anxious for no reason?

Solution: Disrupt negative worries fears and doubts by taking a big yawn and stretch for 10 seconds...You will Notice how a yawn interrupts your thoughts and feelings.

 

 #2 Does your anxiety have you overthinking?

Solution: Be kind to your mindfulness. Stop letting your mind tell you what you cannot do. Say I will.... I am... I can ...

 

#3 Anxiety have you feeling like “blah”?

Solution: Just ask yourself this question: What is my deep burning aspiration for my life? Pause for about 20 seconds. Do this a second or third time and write down what comes to your mind. 

 

 

After you write down your aspiration, read it every day until it becomes your new thought. 

 

Don’t let anxiety take over your day, week, or life! Take control by training your anxiety to leave you alone.

To Grieve or Not to Grieve What is the Problem

 

To Grieve or Not to Grieve

What is the Problem

If you need to grieve the loss of a loved one, pet, job or any other element that left your life abruptly, by all means, do what’s best for you. Often, you feel like you are supposed to hold in your feelings of anger, sadness, happiness, or acceptance. The stages of grief are unpredictable and individualized. Step #1 is to be familiar with the different ways grief can and will affect you, your life and others who support you.

 

Here are some normal but unusual reactions to grief:

  

 

#1 You CAN cry

Express your grief over a precious person, pet, item, or event in the way that you need to. The objective is to get any feelings and emotions out that will hold you back from moving forward in life.

 

#2 You CAN be happy

Once again if you want to celebrate the transition of what you lost, GO AHEAD! Everyone grieves differently. Being happy doesn’t mean you loved any less than you do.

 

#3 You CAN move forward with ease

Being stuck is another symptom that grief can cause. Whatever and however long you need to process your life and what you need is your choice. Don’t be forced to move through your grief without setting realistic expectations for your next phase of life.

  

 

The stages of grief and how you should be reacting can be tricky.

GinMan Consulting can guide you through your grieving process.
