Beating Depression NOW

        When I got a handle on the fact that I did have depression, then I was finally able to make choices to bring myself out of it. It is understood that some depression can be directly related to lower levels of chemicals in the brain. And only by supplementing that level is it possible to begin beating depression. What I then saw was that my mind was able to run efficiently. But the fuel or the thoughts that were going into my mnd was still mostly negative or not helpful to my thinking well. So what happens then is I fall back into the depression.

What needs to happen is to make the choice to put thoughts into your mind that are helpful to you. Remember the glass half full idea of how we see life? If you see glass half full then you are optimistic and hopeful. If you see it as half empty then society sees you as a pessimist. So in beating depression let’s take this a little bit farther. Pretend that the glass is totally full, not one more drop will fit into the glass. BUT all the water is dark as if colored by dark food coloring. Believe me some thoughts in a depressed person’s mind is very dark indeed. Every day new thoughts bombard each of our minds.I learned that a person can have from 12 thousand to 55 thousand thoughts each day. If each thought that we allow into our minds is like a drop into the glass then the dark water in the glass makes that thought to be like all of the others dark and full of hopelessness.

The blessing in beating depression is that we can change the color of the water! We are what we spend most of our time thinking about. If we think only dark thoughts then we remain in the depression. If we think the pure thoughrs of pure water then our thinking is crystal clear and we are constantly hopeful This I learned to do myself by carefully considering the many thoughts that come into my mind and allowing only the ones that are helpful and hopeful. The helpful thoughts can be seen as pure clear water. As I allowed more and more pure helpful thoughts into my mind then the dark thoughts slowly got pushed out of my mind. While it took me three years to replace all the dark water in my mind I can see how it can be done much faster. How about make a choice to throw out all the dark water that fills the thought glass in our minds ALL AT ONCE? Choose not to give those dark thoughts any more time or place in our thought life. Choose to only think thoughts of helpful and hopeful ideas that are the pure water to fill our glass! By choosing to think this way then beating depression will soon be a winning game for you just like I have.

The best way to get into the habit of allowing only pure water thoughts is to choose to put those thoughts into your mind at first. There are some free books and some free information at White Dove Books. This is where I was able to begin and I enocourage you to start your winning game there too.
