Antidote for Depression
When your inner self is left vulnerable to the whims of your fertile imagination, trouble will likely ensue. Your mind will remain in control only to the degree that you’re unable to separate from its images & be inner directed instead.
Whenever depression begins to get a grip on you, it’s imperative that you sit still & calm your mind. From this point of stillness, watch the myriad of images & thoughts pass by the field of vision of your mind’s eye.
Thoughts of worthlessness, insecurities, past failures, regrets & resentments will emerge. And so… So far so good. Watch these troubles objectively, as if sitting on the river’s edge watching a leaf being carried downstream. You remain outside of & separate from the river, watching but unaffected by its swift current. In the same fashion, stay separate from the often powerful stream of negative thoughts & images that flow by your inner vision.
Stay out of this current while remaining ever watchful & respectful of its force, but never resenting what you may see. Resentment binds one to the thought or image.
By detaching from these negative thoughts & dispassionately viewing them, you’ll be released from their further control. Do not struggle with these thoughts. Diligently remain separate & objective & the depression shall lift.
Particularly note those negative thoughts & images which are repetitive. Choose to refuse to allow these habitual thoughts to continue to have impact on your day to day activities any longer.
Realize this potentially life altering truth. This choice is yours to make. Realize the power only you possess to select which thoughts you’ll allow to permeate your being & shape your reality. Realize that the thoughts you hold from moment to moment, shape your experience & ultimately your destiny.
Truly realize this & take action now!
