Help With Overcomming Depression.

-Here's is a list of small things you can do daily to lift up your mood and feel better about yourself each day.

Go out of your way to do something for someone else each day.

Look for the best in others and say something congratulatory to someone every day of your life.

Eat nourishing food and carefully plan your eating regime.

Exercise daily whether it be for only 10-20 minutes a day. ( Even in the comfort of your own home.) - A good example is to do sets of 10 push -ups until you can reach 100.

Learn to pray or meditate.-

Every morning and evening set on one side five minutes to pray. Surprised by this? Don't be. Praying is the most powerful healing process. Praying is simple. Talk to God about your concerns and ask him for inspiration and guidance in taming the Black Dog. Understand that He comprehends everything, so when you talk to him there is no point in being anything but completely honest with him, and most importantly with yourself. The Bible and the Koran teach that God is love and love is the greatest positive influence in calming the wayward emotions, which constitute depression. As well as - or instead of - prayer, meditation is an extremely helpful and effective way of taking a break from our anxieties and miseries and finding deep relaxation, tranquillity and renewed energy.

Start and End the day right.-

If you have a partner, when you get up each morning and when you go to bed each night, say 'I love you'. If you have children, tell them that you love them. When you see yourself in the mirror, say, 'I love you. We are having a rough time but you are doing well. We're winning. I'm proud of you and I love you.' That last person is the most important one today.
