RE: Feelings - HTHT | How to protect yourself from depression

in #life7 years ago

There was a time when I was going through a divorce. Not only a divorce, but financial people were calling wanting money owed also. There is always money problems in a divorce. There was a guy I new that seen me down and asked, Hey David are they going to kill you? I told him, no. He smiled and said, Then everything is OK. I thought about it and it is true they are not going to kill me and everything is OK.

Also about that same time period my mom seen me frowning and slouching. She told me, You know David when you smile the body thinks everything is OK. When you frown the body starts to worry along with you. She also mentioned, When you slouch you also make your body think something is wrong. When you stand up straight your body thinks you are strong. I started taking in all those tips and brought them to work.

People would ask what am I smiling about. I was really smiling about nothing, it just made me feel better. I even called the financial businesses saying I will pay, but I am going through a divorce and am determined not to go through bankruptcy. I ask them to lower the payments. They did lower the payments and cut the credit. Both of those were great for me.
