Simple Ideas to Overcome Depression ~ I’ve noticed something else in my travels. At times, the recollection of what happened to us to cause our depression can be skewed. It can build up in our minds as being much worse than what really occurred. It is only human to want to “pay back” others for what we think they did and for the grief that they caused. If someone was really mean spirited toward you and caused you nothing but grief, I repeat, the best way to “get even” is to “get better”. Remove your invisible “kick me” sign and don’t allow anyone to get the better of you...

We are consumed by fear at every moment in our life, and peace is the detachment of fear from our conscious reality. Many would argue that this is awareness, but in fact, we live in a constant state of fear that drives all behavior and the rapidity of decisions that lead to our actions. Sometimes, these are thought to be instinctual reactions, and other times, these are believed to be well-calculated decisions. Our subconscious is dealing with constant fear of our environments, futures, and much more at all times, so every decision that we make has the foundation of being a deliberate ...
