It is possible to get out of depression and be immensely happy if you take action and take responsibility for your actions.
Possibly lately you have suffered a great loss, a separation, abandonment, rejection by someone you love, illness or even the death of a loved one. It is natural to feel sad for a while, however when the sadness persists despite the passage of time, you have to do your part not to be engulfed by this unbalanced emotion.
Emotions often play with the minds of individuals and take them to extremes. That's where you should be very careful not to fall into a deep depression box.
Now, let's get in action to change that.
Let the power of the mind take control
If you think you're sad, you're right, but when you change your thoughts, the sadness recedes. Joy is also a decision. If you decide that today you will enjoy the joy of life, it is very likely to be so.
Change every thought of sadness or anger, by positive thoughts of joy and prosperity. In this way you will give give emotional control to your life.
I know you'll be thinking ... "That's impossible, it's very difficult, how do I change that?"
The answer is simple ... Change your focus. From this moment draw from your mind all kinds of positive and beautiful thoughts and, most importantly, the thought of God.
The brain can be pretty stupid, help it to think well.
Apparently the focus of the brain is directed to what we do not have or lack. That causes frustration and a lot of anger because It is very easy to feel frustrated when there is no money, when someone does not love you, when you do not have the car or the house you want.
The job is to break the pattern of the stupid approach of the brain because it is really not the thing we lack that provides happiness. We need to teach the brain where it needs to be focused. To break the pattern, focus your mind on thanking and blessing everything you already have, and if you have nothing, you have the most valuable thing, Life.
Take advantage of the BUG and change your life
Understanding that the brain has its weaknesses, we can then take advantage of that malfunction. The brain is an organ that interprets the signals of the environment and sends communications to the body.
For example, when a person is in danger, the brain sends a rush of adrenaline, on the contrary when there is a celebration sends a discharge of dopamine. These endogenous drugs control emotions such as fear or joy.
When a person's shoulders are drooping and his eyes are downcast, the brain interprets this as depression.But when the person changes the physiological signals by sending new signals to the brain through actions such as Jumping, singing, or even smiling (despite feeling sad), The brain receives the signals and interprets it as joy.
Understand this BUG then start dancing, jumping, smiling, singing and move your body as if you were happy. Soon you will begin to feel the power of dopamine that brings joy. In fact, surround yourself with happy people, watch a movie that makes you laugh, exercise and keep your mind in the positive state no matter what happens, soon a deep joy will return. So stay strong and do not let yourself be overcome by fatigue and sleep.
Your emotions are your decision.
Nobody can make you angry without your consent, this means that at some point we hold others responsible for our emotional state, this means that we give power of our mind to another person. That's why emotions are personal decision.
Today you can decide that regardless of what you are living, you will accept the reality and will go on. Life does not end here, it is only giving you new opportunities to experience different things and new realities.
Your boss, your partner, your parents, or your children are not responsible for how you feel today. Possibly they did things that hurt you, however you can take control by setting limits, not allowing them to hurt you and not escalating the feeling of hurt. Let go and forgive. Life goes on and it's not worth being bitter about it.
The past is behind you and you can not live from what no longer exists. Forgive those who have harmed you in the past. The future is what matters.
