Quiet the mind and the soul will speak.

One of the reasons people struggle with depression is because their mind is filled with a lot of clutter. It is going multiple directions at once and it is going very fast.

One thing that will help is to do meditation/hypnosis. I do this every day. I relax my body. I raise my energy. I quiet my mind. Just let the thoughts flow. They flow in and out. You breathe in and allow the thought to enter. You breathe out and let it go. This clears your mind so that you can think clearly. For me, I believe that this should be your first step toward getting better. It not only clears the mind of clutter it also helps you listen to your soul, your inner self. It points you in the direction you need to go for transformation. I do offer a hypnosis course. You can find this and other courses here:

Surrender or fight?
It is really easy to want to surrender. When I was under the control of depression, I wanted to surrender all the time. You get tired of fighting. Life is such a battle. You are overwhelmed and lost and you just don’t know which way to turn. It takes courage to continue.

To be is the the courage to accept oneself in spite of being unacceptable.

You feel unacceptable, right? You don’t have to feel unacceptable. You can change to be a better version of yourself. You do that by getting depression under control. It is possible with the right guidance. https://lylcoach.lchlegacy.com/

CAN YOU DO THIS? Can you break the need to talk about your problems because they are no longer overwhelming and talk more about your joys because they shine through?

If the answer to that is NO then, you need to remedy that. It is possible. I can guide you. I want this for you so much. https://lylcoach.lchlegacy.com/

Punch with both fists.

Life is hard. It may be easy for some or so it seems, but I have found it to be hard. When you see other people doing things seemingly easily, it can be downright discouraging especially when you struggle with depression. I know what it is to feel that you have to fight to even get out of the mental hole you have dug for yourself. You make progress and then you go backward. You struggle to hang on. You get tired. You wonder what is the point? When you understand depression, you know how to make that forward progress stick. It takes fighting for your life. You have to be the rebel.

I call it punching with both fists at once. You can’t just punch one fist at a time. You need to punch with both at the same time. One fist is doing a different response to life stress depression. The second fist is to not take the easy way out and use your familiar tool of depression. When you punch with both , you get the knockout. You knock depression out. Then you have control and not depression.

You’re either the hammer or the nail.
Hammers make things happen. They drive the point home. They aren’t afraid to swing hard, take calculated risks, and make an impact. They don’t wait for things to happen; they make things happen.
Nails? They get pounded. They hold things in place, but only because someone else decided that’s where they should be.
Nails wait for instructions. They stay put, keep their heads down, and hope they don’t get bent out of shape. Nails might hold things together, but hammers built the house.
No one remembers the nails — they remember who hammered them in.

The statue of David is an amazing piece of art. It was carved from an amazingly large piece of marble and stands about 17 feet. But what is also amazing about it is that no one was willing to do anything for a long time with the big block of marble. It was an under taking that no one would touch. Until finally one day an artist was willing to turn that block of marble into something. He chipped away at it. He just chipped away what was not the form known as David.
In the same way, we create who we are. We have things that are part of our life, our personality that don’t really belong. It could be heartache. It could be loneliness. It could be addiction. It could be depression. And you know what we can do? We can chip those things away. We can chip away the things that are not you. You are not heartache, loneliness, addiction, depression or anything else. Those things don’t belong.
What will be left is the beautiful creation of you.

Fear of change and having what you want.

It may be hard to believe, but there is a fear of change and a fear of having what you want. People are so at home in their comfort zone they don’t want to leave no matter how much pain there is there.

Plus, having what you want is an excuse to not succeed. If you don’t succeed in something, then you can have your “I told you so” moments. There is a sense of certainty in not getting what you want.

If you quit doing depression, your life is uncertain. You don’t know what to expect. It makes you nervous. You have to learn to be comfortable with a new way of life. You have to let go of new ways and embrace new ways.

New ways are a type of culture shock. It is like moving to a new city. But when you learn to embrace the new ways it feels so good. You learn your way around. You find new adventures. You learn a whole new way of life. And in time you stop feeling lost. You know your way around, and you no longer want to go back to where you were before.

The fear of asking. Sometimes we don’t ask for help due to a fear of asking. This is also a fear of rejection. Even if ask for help from someone who understands there is a fear that you will be rejected. It is hard to ask for what we want. But if you don’t ask you won’t get. It is that simple. There is a power in asking. It is taking control. It is standing up and fighting. It is being the rebel and saying I am control here depression, and I am taking my life back.

I wanted help. I did not want to ask. I did not have anyone to ask. Sure there are people out there who say they are there for you. They want to be able to be there for you, but unless they have done depression they can’t understand enough to help. They feel helpless and you feel hopeless. It does not have to be that way. So, I created my own system and helped myself. However, I knew how to help myself. Do you? This system is still available for $20.
